Using the Makita T-03193 cloth vacuum filter is a breeze. First, make sure your Makita cordless vacuum (models BCL180W, XLC02, or LC01) is turned off. Then, open the filter compartment and install the filter quickly and easily. Once your vacuum is running, the filter will do its job of trapping debris. When you notice the suction power decreasing or the filter looking dirty, it's time for a cleaning. Simply remove the filter from the vacuum. You can gently tap it to remove large debris, and then wash it with mild soap and water. Let it dry completely before reinstalling it. Remember, don't use harsh chemicals or abrasive materials to clean the filter as it may damage the cloth. With proper care, this filter will serve you well for a long time.
