to pick up dust. if the dust 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.

small hole can let dust pass through and
out of the cleaner. Do not use a filter with
holes or tears; replace it immediately.
