MAKITA L-CLASS DUST EXTRACTORS
18 April 2018
The Makita DVC861LZ L-class extractor is operated by both AC mains power and DC batteries, using the twin 18v battery system that is storming the construction and outdoor power tool market with its 36v performance.

This is proving invaluable in a location where mains power is not available. The new dry material vacuum has a 1,050watt motor that will generate 24 kPa maximum suction in mains mode, and a useful 9 kPa suction when powered by battery. Maximum airflow is 3.6 m³/min and 2.1 m³/min respectively. Rated for L-class operations for plaster, china clay and mica materials. Suction into the 8 litre tank can be varied by the dial on the body front adjacent to the large On/Off switch. Commercial dust bags fit this machine and the filters are HEPA type.
If the batteries are in place and at the same time the mains cord is connected and power available, the mains power takes priority and an indicator lamp shows when AC power is operating. The useful storage box on the top of the machine, as well as the power cord can be removed. A 2.5metres suction hose is provided together with long lance and roller collector head. Strong polymer bumpers protect property and the castors can be locked for stability.
Also included in the range are the DVC863 36v, VC2512, VC2012, VC3011 and VC1310 models.
