The Makita 18V X2 LXT (36V) Brushless Cordless 1/2 Gallon HEPA Filter Backpack Dry Dust Extractor Kit, capable of AWS™, is a powerful and portable cleaning solution. It gets rid of the extension cords that trouble corded backpack vacuums, making it perfect for cleaning crews. For contractors in construction, it serves as a great dust extraction option when used with the included tool connecting adapters as part of a dust extraction system. The kit comes with 3 tool adapters to connect the hose to most Makita Dust Extraction Attachments (sold separately). Powered by two 18V lithium - ion batteries for 36V power, it stays within the 18V LXT battery platform. The efficient BL Brushless Motor generates 64 CFM of suction and 44 inches of static water lift, enabling fast clean - ups and better dust extraction without a cord in the way. Weighing only 10 lbs (with an empty dust bag and two 18V 5.0Ah batteries), it has padded shoulder straps and a waist belt with multiple adjustments for a comfortable fit. The cordless and compact design features a push - button power selection controller that attaches to the waist belt for easy operation. The 39 - inch flexible hose has a telescoping extension wand that adds 20 - 34 inches of reach. The HEPA filter, combined with the filter bag, captures large, small, and micro dust particles, and the half - gallon dust collection container can be easily removed for dust disposal. With two 18V 5.0Ah batteries, users can get up to 62 minutes of continuous operation on low setting and 33 minutes on high setting. It's part of Makita's expanding 18V LXT system, the world's largest cordless tool system powered by 18V lithium - ion batteries. Makita 18V Lithium - Ion Batteries charge quickly, so they spend more time working. Makita's Star Protection Computer Controls™ improve tool performance and extend battery life by protecting against overloading, over - discharging, and overheating. The tool can also be powered by Makita 18V LXT and Compact Lithium - Ion Batteries with Star Protection.
Using the Makita 18V X2 LXT Dust Extractor is easy. First, make sure the batteries are fully charged. Attach the batteries to the unit and then connect the hose with the appropriate adapter to your tool. Put on the harness, adjust the shoulder straps and waist belt for a comfortable fit, and then use the push - button controller on the waist belt to turn on the unit and select the power setting. When the dust collection container is full, simply remove it and empty the dust. Remember to replace the disposable filter dust bag regularly to keep the suction power strong. When not in use, store the unit in a dry place. Avoid overcharging the batteries; the dual - port charger will optimize the charging process. If you use the AWS feature, make sure to pair the transmitter (sold separately) correctly. Keep the HEPA filter clean to maintain its efficiency in capturing dust particles.
