Makita VC2012L L Class Wet and Dry Dust Extractor

The Makita VC2012L L Class Wet and Dry Dust Extractor is a corded vacuum for site and workshop. It picks up wet and dry debris. It comes in 240V and 110V versions. The details below are for the 240V version.

The drum is stainless steel and holds 20 litres. Wet capacity is 12 litres. Dust bag capacity is 19 litres. Rated input is 3000W. Max sealed suction is 21.0 kPa. Airflow is 3.6 m²/min. The hose is 3.5m long with a 32mm diameter.

Upkeep is simple. A washable PET cartridge filter protects the turbine. A fleece filter bag resists damage from sharp debris. Push and Clean uses the airflow to clear caked dust at the press of a button. The drum is IP24 splash protected. The 240V version has an automatic on and off function that follows your power tool.

Why choose it? It weighs 8kg and runs at 72 dB(A). A flat top with a recessed handle lets you stack tools on the drum. The hose strap keeps things tidy. It suits trades who need tough everyday suction for cutting, drilling and sanding.

L Class is a dust class for fine non-hazardous dust. The filter and bag stop it escaping back into the air. Sealed suction of 21.0 kPa shows how hard the turbine can pull when the hose is blocked. Airflow of 3.6 m²/min shows how much air it moves. Push and Clean reverses the airflow across the filter so you do not have to take it out.

Use the correct filter bag and cartridge for the job. Check both before each use. Do not pick up burning or glowing material. Unplug before emptying or cleaning. Keep the cable and plug dry. Use the 110V version on site where a reduced voltage supply is required. The drum is splash protected only. Do not submerge it.
