Product Information
Full details
The Makita VC006GM is a powerful cordless dust extractor designed for professionals needing robust dust management on job sites. Its key benefit is the high airflow comparable to corded models, enabled by dual 40v Max XGT batteries, combined with an automatic self-cleaning filter system for continuous performance. A potential caveat is the need for two XGT batteries, which are sold separately.

FAQs
Does the Makita VC006GM come with batteries?
No, the Makita VC006GM requires two 40v Max XGT batteries, which are sold separately.
What is the difference between the dust and liquid tank capacities?
The tank has a capacity of 40 liters for dust and 30 liters for liquids.
How does the automatic self-cleaning filter work?
The system automatically pulses air to dislodge dust from the pre-filters during operation, maintaining suction power and extending filter life.
Can I use this with any power tool?
You can connect it to most power tools via the hose. For the automatic start/stop feature, you need a compatible AWS-enabled tool.
What maintenance is required for the filters?
While the filters self-clean, it's recommended to manually inspect and clean them periodically, especially after heavy use or when dealing with very fine dust. Refer to the user manual for detailed instructions.
Is this suitable for fine dust like drywall dust?
Yes, it is designed for efficient dust extraction and features a self-cleaning filter system that helps manage fine dust particles effectively.
Troubleshooting
No power/suction
Ensure both XGT batteries are correctly inserted and charged. Check that the power switch is in the 'on' position. Verify that the hose is securely connected and not kinked or blocked. Check filter status and clean if necessary.
Reduced suction power
The automatic self-cleaning filter may need assistance, or the filters may be clogged. Clean the filters manually as per the instruction manual. Check the hose and tool connection for blockages. Ensure the tank is not full.
AWS not starting/stopping with tool
Confirm both the dust extractor and the power tool are AWS compatible and correctly paired. Ensure batteries are installed in both devices and are charged. Check the wireless connection status.
Low airflow warning buzzer sounds
This indicates reduced airflow. Check for blockages in the hose, tank, or filters. Clean the filters and empty the tank if necessary.
Extractor stops during wet use
The water level sensor has likely activated, indicating the tank is full of liquid. Empty the tank.
