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.

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.

Filter Removal

To remove the filter for cleaning or replacement, unscrew the filter nut from the filter cage, remove filter plate and lift off filter.

IMPORTANT: To reduce the risk of damage to the blower wheel and motor, always reinstall the filter before using the Vac for dry material pickup.
