cleanup and workshop applications to
blow sawdust and other debris.

eyewear complying with ANSI Z87.1
(or in Canada, CSA Z94.3) before
using as a blower.
!
WARNING: To reduce the risk of
injury to bystanders, keep them
clear of blowing debris.
!
CAUTION: Wear a dust mask if
blowing creates dust which might
be inhaled.

hearing damage, wear ear protectors
when using the Vac/blower for
extended hours or when using in a
noisy area.

Maintenance

Filter

NOTE: This filter is made of high quality
paper designed to stop very small
particles 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.
