should be used for dry pick-up and small
amounts of liquids. A dry cartridge filter is
necessary to pick up dust. If the cartridge
filter is wet, it will clog quickly and be
difficult to clean. Handle the filter carefully
when removing it for cleaning and replacing
it. Check the filters for tears or small holes,
a small hole can let dust pass through and
out of the cleaner. Do not use a filter with
holes or tears in it, replace it immediately.
