FILTER CARE
The wet/dry filter (E) included with this vacuum is a long life filter. To be effective
in minimizing dust recirculation the filters MUST be installed correctly and in good
condition.
NOTE: Never operate without a filter in place. A clean filter is the most important
factor in the operation and efficiency of any vacuum. If the filter becomes clogged
beyond cleaning, damaged, or fails to operate properly, replace only with genuine
D WALT replacement filters.
