injury from accidental starting,

unplug power cord before changing

or cleaning filter.

NOTE: This filter is made of high quality

paper designed to stop very small parti-

cles of dust. The filter can be used for wet

or dry pick up. Handle the filter carefully

when removing to clean or installing it.

Creases in the filter pleats may occur from

installation but creases will not affect the

performance of the filter.

Cleaning

Your filter should be cleaned often to

maintain peak vac performance.

Be sure to dry the filter before storing or

picking up dry debris.

IMPORTANT: After cleaning, check the

filter for tears or small holes. Do not use a

filter with holes or tears in it. Even a small

hole can cause a lot of dust to come out of

your vac. Replace it immediately.

Removal

To remove the filter for cleaning or

replacement, unscrew the filter nut from

the filter cage and lift off filter.

WARNING: Do not remove the filter

cage. It is there to help prevent your

fingers from getting into the blower

wheel.

IMPORTANT: To avoid damage to the

blower wheel and motor, always reinstall

the filter before using the vac for dry mate-

rial pickup.

Dry Filter

1. Some removal of dry debris can be

accomplished without removing the fil-

ter from the vac. Slap your hand on top

of the lid while the vac is turned off.

2. For best cleaning results due to accu-

mulated dust, clean the filter in an open

area. Cleaning SHOULD be done out-

doors and not in the living quarters.

3.After filter removal from vac, remove the

dry debris by gently tapping the filter

against the inside wall of your dust

drum. The debris will loosen and fall.

4.For thorough cleaning of dry filter with

fine dust (no debris), run water through

it as described under “Wet Filter”.

Wet Filter

After filter is removed, run water through

the filter from a hose or spigot. Take care

that water pressure from the hose is not

strong enough to damage filter.
