The Makita 451208-3 Pre-Filter (OEM part number 4131K6-6) is a genuine replacement pre-filter designed for Makita DCL180ZB and CL106FDZW cordless stick vacuums, capturing coarse dust and debris before it reaches the main filter. Positioned ahead of the primary filter inside the dust cup, this pre-filter acts as a first line of defence, protecting the main filter and motor from larger particles. By intercepting coarse debris early, it helps maintain consistent airflow and suction performance across repeated use. It locates securely on the filter cage and installs without tools. The fine-mesh washable fabric construction allows the filter to be rinsed, dried, and reused, making it well suited to regular housekeeping, workshop tidying, and light site clean-up tasks. Lightweight by design, it dries quickly between uses. Suitable for dry vacuuming applications only. As a genuine Makita OEM component, this pre-filter is manufactured to Makita's own fit and sealing tolerances, ensuring it performs as intended. It serves as a direct replacement for the older part number 451208-3 and is supplied as a single unit.
