Vacuuming Dry Materials

1.The filter must always be in correct position to reduce the risk of leaks and possible damage to vac.

2.Your Wet/Dry Vac comes with the VF5000 Filter installed. When using your vac to pick up very fine dust, it will be necessary for you to empty the drum and clean the filter at more frequent intervals to maintain peak vac performance.

NOTE: A dry filter is necessary to pick up dry material. If you use your vac to pick up dust when the filter is wet, the filter will clog quickly and be very difficult to clean.
