Filter
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of injury from
accidental starting, unplug power
cord before changing or cleaning
filter.
NOTE: The Filter is made of high quality
paper designed to stop small particles of
dust. The Filter can be used for dry pick
up or small amounts of liquid. Handle the
Filter carefully when removing or installing
it. Creases in the Filter Pleats may occur
from installation but will not affect the
performance of the Filter.
