Maintenance
Filter
Ak WARNING: To reduce the risk of
injury from accidental starting, unplug
power cord before changing or
cleaning filter.
17910/17915 Wet/Dry Vacs are supplied
with the Craftsman Fine Dust Filter.
Replacement Fine Dust Filters are
available at your local Sears Store or at
www.Sears.com. Ask for the Craftsman
Fine Dust Filter 17907.
NOTE: The filter is made of high quality
paper designed to stop very small
particles of dust. 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.
Filter Cleaning
Your filter should be cleaned often to
maintain peak Vac performance.
Be sure to dry the filter before storing or
picking up dry debris.
IMPORTANT: After cleaning, check the
filter for tears or small holes. Do not use a
filter with holes or tears in it. Even a small
hole may allow a lot of dust to come out
of your Vac. Replace it
immediately.
Filter Removal and Replacement
IMPORTANT: To reduce the risk of
damage to the blower wheel and motor,
always reinstall the filter before using the
Vac for dry material pickup.

the filter over the Qwik Lock
TM
stud on
the filter cage. Press firmly on top of
