Using your Makita XLC09R1B vacuum is easy. First, charge the 18V LXT Lithium - Ion Compact 2.0Ah battery using the Rapid Optimum Charger. It'll take about 25 minutes or less to fully charge. Once charged, attach the battery to the vacuum. You can use the push - button to select from four different speeds based on your cleaning needs. For general cleaning, the normal speed should work well. If you need more power, choose the max or high speed. When you're in a quiet environment, like when someone is sleeping, use the quiet mode. The vacuum comes with different nozzles and attachments. The floor nozzle is great for cleaning large areas like carpets and floors. The crevice nozzle is useful for getting into tight spaces like corners and between cushions. The extension attachment can help you reach high or hard - to - reach places. After use, empty the bagless cloth filtration system regularly. It's easy to clean and allows for quick debris disposal. Also, check the reusable stick vacuum filter. If it gets dirty, clean it according to the instructions. Always use genuine Makita batteries and chargers to ensure the best performance and to avoid any damage to the tool. Keep in mind that the vacuum has Star Protection Computer Controls. This means it can protect itself from overloading, over - discharging, and overheating. But still, don't use it continuously for too long. If it starts to get hot, let it cool down before using it again. The tool, battery, and charger come with a 3 - year limited warranty. If you have any problems during this time, contact Makita for support.
