Fault Cause Remedy
‡ Motor does not start > Fuse in mains plug has blown. • Reset the fuse.
> Overload protection switch has
tripped.
• Switch off the vacuum cleaner
and allow it to cool for approx. 5
minutes. If it can not be started
again, contact the Makita
service department.
‡ Motor does not run in
automatic mode
> Power tool is defective or not
connected properly.
• Check that the power tool
works or that the plug is
inserted correctly.
‡ Reduced suction power > Suction power selected with
suction power control is to low.
• Set suction power in
accordance with section

> Hose diameter does not
correspond with switch
position.
• Set correct switch position for
hose diameter.
> Clogged suction hose/nozzle. • Clean suction hose/nozzle.

‡ Voltage fluctuations > Impedance of power supply is
too high.
• Use a suitable extension cord
(see section “Technical data”).

impedance at the transfer point
is ≤ 0.15 Ω.
