Makita lets you breathe easy
Makita’s Auto-Start Wireless System – AWS – helps reduce silica dust even when you’re working away from a power source.
The AWS uses Bluetooth technology for wireless power-on and power-off communication between the tool and the extractor. That means that when your tool starts or stops, so does the AWS. And that means less noise.
“Since it’s cordless, there’s no more grounding issues, no re-plugging the cord, and reduced trip hazards,” the company says.
Press the activation button on the extractor for three seconds until the activation lamp blinks green. Then press the wireless activation button on the tool in the same way.
Now you’re connected. Once your power tool starts, the dust extractor starts automatically.
