NOTICE! The filter included is made of
high quality material designed to stop
small dust particles. The filter should
be used for dry pick-up only. A dry filter
is necessary to pick up dust. If the dust
filter is wet, it will clog quickly and be
very difficult to clean. Handle the filter
carefully when removing it for cleaning
and replacing it. Check the filters for
tears or small holes; a small hole can
let dust pass through and out of the
cleaner. Do not use a filter with holes or
tears; replace it immediately.
