Choose one of the following cleaning options:

9.To lightly clean, tap the filter against a smooth, flat surface to dislodge most saw dust and dirt particles.

10.For a more thorough cleaning, clean in warm soapy water, rinse, and let dry completely.

NOTE: An alternative method is to clean the filter with compressed air (always wear eye protection to avoid eye injury).

11.Reinstall the air filter, making sure that the tabs on the air filter are located in channels on the air filter bottom before tightening filter retainer screw.
