10.0 User-maintenance
Always disconnect power to
the machine before performing maintenance.
Failure to do this may result in serious personal
injury.
10.1 Changing the Filters
To reduce the risk of injury,
disconnect the air filtration system from the
power source (unplug) before servicing or
changing filters. Failure to comply may cause
serious injury!
There are two filters that need to be changed.
Filter life will vary depending on the amount of usage
and the environment of your shop. Clogged filters
will reduce the amount of air circulation.
1.
Lift the filter up and pull outward on the bottom
edge to remove the filter.
Figure 10-1
2.
Remove the inner filter by pulling straight out of
the cabinet.
3.
Remove any protective wrapping from the new
filters.
4.
Install the filters in reverse of the removal. The
outer filter has directional air flow arrows printed
on the frame which depicts the direction of air
flow. Make sure it is facing the proper direction
when installed. If no directional arrows are
present, the inboard side of the filter will
typically have metal support not used on the
outboard side.
Replacement Filters:
NOTE: JET brand filters are recommended for best
performance.

10.2 Cleaning the Filters
To reduce the risk of injury,
disconnect the air filtration system from the
power source (unplug) before servicing or
changing filters. Failure to comply may cause
serious injury!
This AFS is designed to remove airborne non-
metallic dust particles from the air. Cleaning is about
removing those particles from the filter in the
opposite direction from which it came.
It is recommended to clean both filters at the same
time. Whether using the Filter Status Indicator or a
visual inspection, both filters should be cleaned to
restore as much filtration ability as possible.
Remove the filters from the AFS unit as described
in 10.1 Changing the Filters.
10.2.1 Washable Filters
Washable filters are those filters which may get wet
and allowed to dry before returning to service. The
replacement Washable Electrostatic Outer Filter
(P/N 708732) is a washable filter.
Figure 10-2 Inside of filter shown.
•
Using a hose and spray nozzle with normal tap
water pressure, spray the filter from the inside
out. Opposite the operating air flow. This will
rinse the larger loose particles out of the filter.
•
Mix a mild detergent and water mixture (soap)
such as dish soap. Mix a drop or two of dish
soap and water into a spray bottle. If using a
commercial electrostatic detergent, follow the
label instructions.
•
Spray the soap onto the entire filter until fully
covered.
•
Allow the soap to soak 1 to 2 minutes on the
filter but do not allow the soap to dry. This will
create a sticky film that is difficult to remove.
•
Thoroughly rinse the soap out of the filter and
the filter frame.
