vacuuming Dry Materials

1. The filter must always be in correct
position at all times to avoid leaks and
possible damage to Vac.
2. When using your Vac to pick up very
fine dust, it will be necessary for you
to empty the drum and clean the filter
at more frequent intervals to maintain
peak Vac performance.
NOTE: A dry filter is necessary to pick up
dry material. If you use your Vac to pick
up dust when the filter is wet, the filter will
clog quickly and be very difficult to clean.
3. If your filter is wet but you need to use
the Vac to pick up dry material, you
must first allow the filter to dry.
