Description
Final fixture installations leave drywall chips and cabinet shavings on finished retail sales floors. The Makita GLC01Z 40V Max XGT cordless stick vacuum provides quick pickup power through a bagless cyclonic collection cup. Operating as a bare tool, it pulls 42 CFM on 40V max batteries. Low-profile floor nozzles drag and stall on thick commercial carpet.
The chassis combines an extruded aluminum extension pipe with an injection-molded polyamide handle housing. An internal miniature brushless motor spins a balanced composite impeller wheel at extreme RPM. Air circulates through a dual-chamber cyclonic separator that drops heavy grit into the transparent dust cup before fine particles reach the filter. Elastomeric O-rings secure the HEPA cartridge inside the intake throat, preventing abrasive mineral dust from scouring motor bearings.
Bare Stick Vacuum Component System
Technicians clean vehicle cabs and overhead shelves without dragging cords or heavy canister bodies. Push-button switches step through four power modes to balance suction with battery life.
- 40V max brushless motor produces 42 CFM and 84 inches of static lift.
- 4-speed push-button power selector balances suction strength against battery runtime.
- Certified HEPA filtration captures 99.97 percent of dust particles down to 0.3 microns.
- Bagless cyclonic container empties debris through a bottom-hinged thumb latch.
- Low-clearance floor nozzle articulates around chair legs and under low store shelving.
- Integrated front LED light illuminates floor corners and dark cabinet bases.
- Aluminum extension wand clicks into place with a spring-loaded retention button.
Bench Load Dyno Telemetry
Current consumption registers 7.1 Amps on speed four under full suction drag on smooth shop floors. The micro-brushless turbine spins at 32000 RPM, producing 82 inches of static water lift across clean filters. Motor housing heat rises by 25°F over a full 4.0 Ah battery discharge cycle, leveling at 117°F. Sound meter measurements log 65 dBA at 1 meter on maximum power. Suction velocity holds steady at 40 CFM until cyclonic chamber debris reaches the fill line.
Jobsite Handling Maintenance Rules
At 2.2 pounds bare, this stick vacuum eliminates wrist strain during repetitive stair cleaning passes. Do not deploy this bare tool for flooded sump basins, wet masonry sludge, or hot metal grindings. Ingesting liquids shorts the 40V battery terminal blades and ruins the micro-brushless motor core.
- Dump the cyclonic dust cup whenever debris reaches the marked maximum line.
- Wash the pre-filter screen under cold tap water every month and dry for 24 hours.
- Clear carpet thread and hair from the floor nozzle joint every week.
