IMPORTANT! Clean or change the cartridge filter regularly for best performance. ALWAYS USE
CARTRIDGE FILTER FOR DRY VACUUMING. If the machine is used without the cartridge filter,
the motor will burn out and the warranty will be voided. Always keep spare filters on hand.
NOTICE! The filters included are made of high quality materials designed to stop small dust
particles. The cartridge filter should be used for dry pick-up only. A dry cartridge filter is necessary
to pick up dust. If the cartridge 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 filter. Do not use a filter with holes or
tears in it; replace it immediately.
WARNING!
ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE PLUG FROM THE POWER OUTLET BEFORE
REMOVING THE POWER HEAD FROM THE COLLECTION TANK.
