Risk of damage caused by incor-
rect cleaning.
The pre-filter can become damaged
and be less effective as a result.
Do not use pointed or sharp-edged
objects to clean the filter.
 Carefully knock the dust out of the
pre-filter over a bin.
Tip: Use a tool like a fine cleaning brush
to clean the inside of the pre-filter thor-
oughly.
You do not need to clean the motor pro-
tection filter. It can be removed so that
the inside of the pre-filter is easier to
reach.
 After cleaning the pre-filter, place the
motor protection filter back into the
pre-filter securely, making sure it is
properly positioned.
 Lock the motor protection filter by
turning it clockwise as far as it will go.
 Replace the pre-filter in the dust con-
tainer.
 To do this, line up the guide lines on
the two sections and turn the dust
container lid back to its original posi-
tion.
 Close the cover at the bottom of the
dust container, making sure it clicks
into place.
 Replace the fine dust filter.
 Replace the dust container on the
PowerUnit connector.
