Makita takes another step towards a truly cordless job site with the new Auto-start Wireless System (AWS) using Bluetooth technology for wireless power-on and power-off communication between the equipped tool and dust extractor.
The AWS system is intelligent communication, as once connected a power tool via AWS, to your dust extractor it will automatically power on or off when your cordless tool starts or stops, running only when your cordless tool is in use. For added convenience, you can link up to 10 AWS tools to one AWS dust extractor/vacuum.
HOW TO CONNECT YOUR TOOL TO THE EXTRACTOR
THE BENEFITS OF AWS SYSTEM:
- It means no more grounding issues, no re-plugging the cord
- Reduced trip hazards with excessive power cords
- Increases productivity and convenience
- Reduces excessive noise as the dust extractor / vacuum is only in use when the compatible tool is in use, reducing continuous noise at the job or work site
