Makita DVC151L Twin 18V LXT Cordless / Corded L Class Dust Extractor 110V

The Makita DVC151L is a twin 18V LXT dust extractor that runs on mains or batteries. This is the 110V model for site transformers. It is rated L Class. That covers dust from mica and china clay. It also covers gypsum. Think plastering and drylining.

The dual power design is the draw. Plug it into 110V for long workshop days. Fit two Makita 18V LXT batteries when no socket is near. Mains power takes priority if both are connected. Batteries and charger are not included. Suction is 24 kPa on mains and 9 kPa on batteries.

Filtration is strong here. A HEPA filter gives clean exhaust air. The automatic self cleaning filter cuts downtime. A dial sets variable suction for the task. The tank holds 15 litres. Dust bags are the common plastic type. Noise is 75 dB(A).

It is built for knocks. A large bumper protects walls and furniture. Castor stoppers stop it rolling off. A removable storage box holds your fittings. The unit weighs 9.6kg without batteries. Two hoses come in the box. One is 3.5m and the other is 2.5m. Double insulation adds electrical safety. This is a handy pick for plasterers and drylining crews.

L Class suits dust such as mica and china clay and gypsum. The HEPA filter traps fine particles from the exhaust air. On mains the unit makes 24 kPa of sealed suction and 320 W of suction power. On batteries that drops to 9 kPa and 70 W. In real use mains power suits long heavy jobs. Battery power suits quick clean ups where no socket is near.

Fit the filter and dust bag before every start. Use only Makita LXT batteries. Remove them before servicing. Keep the cord clear of the nozzle path. Use a 110V site transformer on site. Lock the castors when parked. Wear a dust mask when you empty the bag. Do not use it for hazardous dust above its L Class rating.
