This document serves as an instruction manual for the Makita Cordless Blower, model UB001G, providing comprehensive guidance on its safe operation, assembly, maintenance, and troubleshooting. It is intended for users to understand the device's capabilities and ensure its proper and safe use.
The Makita Cordless Blower is designed primarily for blowing dust and debris. It operates on a D.C. 36 V - 40 V max battery system, offering cordless convenience for various tasks. The blower features a main power switch to turn the machine on and off, with a main power lamp indicating its status. It incorporates a switch trigger for controlling the blowing speed, allowing users to increase speed by applying more pressure and stop by releasing it. A notable feature is the Boost mode, which provides a larger air volume than the normal mode. This mode is activated by pulling the switch trigger to a halfway position and then pulling it fully. However, the availability of Boost mode may be restricted depending on usage or battery conditions to protect the machine. The blower also includes a cruise control function, enabling the operator to maintain a constant speed without continuously pulling the trigger. Speed adjustments in cruise control are made by turning a control lever forward to increase speed and backward to decrease it. For safety, the machine is equipped with an accidental re-start preventive function, which requires the switch trigger to be released and the control lever returned to the off position before the machine can start after a battery cartridge installation.
The device incorporates a machine/battery protection system to extend its lifespan. This system automatically cuts off power to the motor under certain conditions, such as overload, overheating of the machine or battery, or when the battery capacity is insufficient (overdischarge protection). When the machine or battery overheats, the main power lamp lights up or blinks in red, indicating the need for the machine and battery to cool down. In case of overdischarge, the main power lamp blinks in red, prompting the user to charge or replace the battery. The battery cartridge itself has indicator lamps and a check button to display the remaining battery capacity, allowing users to monitor battery levels and plan their work accordingly.
Assembly of the blower involves attaching various nozzles to suit different tasks. The end nozzle is installed by aligning triangle marks on the nozzle and front pipe, then attaching and turning to lock it. The length of the nozzle can be adjusted by moving it. Optional accessories include a flat nozzle, extension nozzle, and a gutter nozzle set. The flat and extension nozzles are attached to an adapter pipe, which then connects to the front pipe, aligning grooves and protrusions for a secure fit. The gutter nozzle set involves an adapter pipe, extension pipe, and end nozzle, connected with hose clamps. When using the gutter nozzle set, it is crucial not to exceed a total length of 4 meters including the blower body, to avoid losing balance and potential accidents. The shoulder strap can be attached to the machine for comfortable carrying, either directly to hooks on the machine or by attaching one end to a buckle on the strap itself. It is important to use the shoulder strap dedicated to this machine and ensure it is securely attached.
Maintenance of the Cordless Blower is straightforward but essential for its longevity and safe operation. Before any inspection or maintenance, the machine must be switched off, and the battery cartridge removed. Cleaning the machine involves wiping off dust with a dry cloth or one dipped in soapy water, avoiding harsh chemicals like gasoline or alcohol, which can cause discoloration or damage. Dust and dirt should also be removed from the suction inlet at the rear of the machine. For storage, the battery cartridge should be removed, and the machine should be fully maintained, then stored in a dry place, out of reach of children, and away from moisture, rain, or direct sunlight. A hook hole on the bottom of the machine allows for convenient hanging. Any repairs or adjustments should be performed by Makita Authorized or Factory Service Centers using genuine Makita replacement parts to ensure product safety and reliability.
The manual also provides troubleshooting guidance for common issues such as the motor not running, stopping after short use, not reaching maximum speed, abnormal vibration, or the motor not stopping. Solutions range from installing the battery cartridge correctly, recharging or replacing the battery, allowing the machine to cool down, or seeking repair from an authorized service center for more complex issues like drive system malfunctions or electrical problems. A list of optional accessories, including adapter pipes, various nozzles, shoulder straps, and genuine Makita batteries and chargers, is provided, with a caution to only use accessories recommended by Makita to prevent injury and ensure compatibility.
