Product Description
The Makita XCV18PTX is a top - notch, cordless 1.6 - gallon dry dust extractor kit. Powered by two 18V lithium - ion batteries, it offers 36V power within the 18V LXT® System. This kit is a game - changer for construction work and professional contractors. It gets rid of the hassle of extension cords that traditional corded backpack vacuums have. The efficient BL™ Brushless Motor provides 64 CFM of suction and 44' of static water lift, enabling quick clean - ups and excellent dust extraction. Weighing only 15 lbs with an empty dust bag and two 18V 5.0Ah batteries, it comes with padded shoulder straps and an adjustable waist belt for a comfortable fit. The push - button power selection controller attaches to the waist belt, making it easy to operate. The HEPA filter, combined with the filter bag, effectively captures large, small, and micro dust particulates. The dust collection container can be easily removed for dust disposal. When using two 18V 5.0Ah batteries, you can enjoy up to 62 minutes of continuous operation on the low setting and 33 minutes on the high setting. It's part of Makita's extensive 18V LXT® System, which uses lithium - ion slide - style batteries with fast charge times. The Star Protection Computer Controls™ protect the tool and battery from overloading, over - discharging, and overheating. The kit includes a dust extractor, a battery, a charger, a flexible hose, a main HEPA filter, tool cuff adapters, a harness, and a filter bag. It features an Auto - start Wireless System (AWS™) that uses Bluetooth® technology for wireless power - on/off communication. The BL™ Brushless Motor runs cooler and more efficiently, and the two - stage HEPA filter extends the main filter's life. With dual - port rapid optimum charging and an L.E.D. battery charge level indicator, this dust extractor kit is a must - have for any construction or professional cleaning job.
Using the Makita XCV18PTX is a breeze. First, attach the batteries to the side - loading battery slots. Make sure they are properly inserted. Then, connect the flexible hose to the dust extractor and attach the appropriate tool cuff adapter to the hose for your specific tool. Put on the harness, adjust the shoulder straps and waist belt for a comfortable fit, and attach the push - button controller to the waist belt. You can select the power level (high or normal) and turn the AWS™ on or off with the controller. When starting the tool, if you have the Auto - Start Wireless Transmitter (sold separately), the dust extractor will start automatically. For best results, use it on a flat surface and keep the hoses unobstructed. When it comes to maintenance, empty the dust collection container regularly. Replace the disposable filter dust bag when it's full or clogged. Check the HEPA filter frequently and clean or replace it as needed. Store the batteries in a cool, dry place and charge them using the provided dual - port charger. Don't forget that the Star Protection Computer Controls™ protect the tool and battery, but avoid overloading the tool to ensure its long - term performance.
