Filter
WARNING: To reduce the risk of
injury from accidental starting,

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.
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.

replacement, unscrew the filter nut from
the filter cage, remove filter plate and lift
off filter.
IMPORTANT: To reduce the risk of
