SECTION 6: MAINTENANCE
Filters
The amount of use has a direct bearing on when you must change the primary air filter and service the secondary air filter.
To maintain optimal operation, checking the fil- ters once a week in a small home shop is a good habit. Checking them once a day during heavy use will be important. Always wear a respirator when checking the filters.
!Keep the air filter unitunplugged during all
maintenance procedures. Ignoring this warning may result in serious personal injury to you or others!
