FILTER CARE
The HEPA filters included with this vacuum are long life filters. To
be effective in minimizing dust recirculation, especially in lead paint
(EPA RRP Rule) applications, the filters MUST be installed correctly
and in good condition.
To Remove Filters
1. Turn on/off/tool control switch (O) to the OFF position (O) and
unplug cord from outlet.
2. Release canister latches (D) and
remove vacuum head (C) from
canister. Place vacuum head on a
level surface upside down.
3. Turn each filter (I) counterclockwise
by gripping it on the plastic end cover
as shown, and carefully remove from
head, ensuring debris does not fall
into mounting hole.
NOTE: Use care to not damage filter
material.
4. Inspect filters for wear, tears or other damage.
NOTE: If there is any doubt on the condition of the filters they
MUST be replaced. DO NOT continue use if filters are damaged.
WARNING: Never use compressed air or a brush to clean filters,
otherwise damage to the filter membrane will occur which will allow
dust to pass through the filter. If needed, gently tap against a hard
surface or rinse with room temperature water and let air dry.
Cleaning of the filters is typically unnecessary. Even if the filter is
covered with dust, the automatic filter cleaning system will maintain
maximum performance and continue to function. If visual damage to
the filter membrane exists, replace filters. Filters typically last
between six and twelve months, depending on use and care.
To Install Filters
1. Ensure filter seal (X) is in place and is secure
FIG. 10
2. Line up filter threads (W) to vacuum head threads and using
moderate force, turn filter clockwise until tight.
I
NOTE: Use care to not damage filter material.
3. Place the vacuum head (C) onto the container and secure it by
closing the canister latches (D).
Cleaning
WARNING: Blow dirt and dust out of all air vents with dry air at
least once a week. Wear proper ANSI Z87.1 (CAN/CSA Z94.3) eye
protection and proper NIOSH/OSHA/MSHA respiratory protection
when performing this.
WARNING: Never use solvents or other harsh chemicals for
cleaning the non-metallic parts of the tool. These chemicals may
weaken the plastic materials used in these parts. Use a cloth
dampened only with water and mild soap. Never let any liquid get
inside the motor.
