CLEANING OR REPLACING THE
FILTER BAG
TIP/HINT: To avoid potentially costly
down-time, consider keeping a spare filter
bag on-hand and nearby for use if needed.
After a period of time, depending on the
frequency of use, the filter bag may become
clogged and affect airflow as well the overall
efficiency of the unit. Should you notice a drop
in the efficiency or performance of the unit, it
may be a sign that it is time to clean
the filter bag. If so, proceed as follows:
1. Turn off and unplug the machine.
2. Unclip the belt clamp and remove the bag
from the machine.
3. Clean the dust from inside the filter bag
using a vacuum.
4. For extreme cases, after the initial cleaning
with a vacuum, turn filter bag inside out
and vacuum a second time, laying the
bag on a flat hard surface (such as a table
or workbench) and slowly passing the
vacuum nozzle over the entire surface
area.
5. Reinstall the bag and reattach the clamp.
NOTE: Filter bags can also be machine
washed (gentle cycle only) in cold or warm
water. Do not use hot water or detergent.
Make sure the bag has completely dried
before reinstalling on the machine. Make
sure to remove the belt clamp from the bag
before washing!
