Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between L-Class and M-Class dust extractors?

L-Class extractors are suitable for dust with exposure limits greater than 1mg/m³ (wood dust, plasterboard), whilst M-Class extractors handle more hazardous materials including hardwood dust, concrete and some metal dusts. M-Class units feature superior filtration capturing 99.9% of particles down to 0.3 microns.

Can Makita vacuums connect to other brands of power tools?

Yes, Makita dust extractors use industry-standard hose diameters (typically 28mm or 38mm) and include various adaptors, allowing connection to most professional power tools. However, automatic power take-off features work optimally with Makita power tools.

How long will Makita LXT batteries run a cordless vacuum?

Runtime varies by battery capacity and workload, but typically a 5.0Ah battery provides 20-40 minutes of continuous use. Many Makita cordless vacuums accept dual batteries for extended runtime on larger jobs.
