CARTRIDGE FILTER MAINTENANCE
WARNING: Always disconnect the plug
from the wall outlet before removing the tank
cover.
NOTICE: This filter is made of high quality pa-
per designed to stop small particles of dust.
The filter can be used for wet or dry pick-up. 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. The filter may become
saturated when picking up large quantities of
liquid causing misting to appear in the exhaust
air. At this time, you should dry or change
the filter to eliminate this occurrance. Please
handle the filter carefully when removing it for
cleaning or when installing it.
Check the filter for tears or small holes. Even a
small hole can cause dust to be exhausted. Do
not use a filter with holes or tears. Replace it
immediately.

over filter cage.
