Wall mount installed out of level, Worn or broken docking hooks, Deformed housing from impact, Incorrect mounting hardware used

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Remove the battery before adjusting any wall mount or stand.

  • Check installation: Verify that the wall mount is installed according to the Makita instructions, using the correct screws and anchors.
  • Level the mount: Use a spirit level to ensure the mount is straight. Reinstall if necessary.
  • Inspect hooks and slots: Examine the docking hooks on the mount and the slots on the vacuum for wear or cracks. Replace damaged parts.
  • Do not force the tool: Forcing it into a misaligned mount can crack the housing.
