Dust Extractor Makita DAS180RT 18V Cordless Compact Design

The Makita DAS180RT 18V Cordless Compact Design dust extractor is a portable solution for on-site dust control. Built to work with Makita's 18V battery platform, this compact unit captures dust at the source to help maintain cleaner work areas during light to medium renovation, repair and installation tasks. Its battery-powered operation and small footprint make it suitable for confined spaces where corded extractors are impractical.

Advantages

The cordless design provides mobility and easy repositioning without the need for power outlets or extension cables. Compact dimensions and a low profile enable use in tight or crowded jobsite conditions. The unit integrates with Makita 18V batteries, allowing shared battery use across tools for reduced downtime. Filtration and capture at the source reduce airborne dust, improving visibility and reducing cleanup time.

How to use
