ALWAYS USE DUST FILTER FOR DRY
VACUUMING. If the machine is used
without the cartridge fi lter, the motor will
burn out and the warranty will be voided.
Always keep spare fi lters on-hand.
NOTICE! The fi lters included are made
of high quality material designed to stop
small dust particles. The cartridge fi lter
should be used for dry pick-up only. A
dry cartridge fi lter is necessary to pick up
dust. If the cartridge fi lter is wet, it will
clog quickly and be very diffi cult to clean.
Handle the fi lter carefully when removing
it for cleaning and replacing it. Check
the fi lters for tears or small holes, a small
hole can let dust pass through and out of
the cleaner. Do not use a fi lter with holes
or tears in it, replace it immediately.
