Cleaning Vac Filter
WARNING: To reduce the risk of
injury from accidental starting,
unplug power cord before changing
or cleaning filter.
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 can cause a lot of dust to
come out of your Vac. Replace the filter
immediately.

(or in Canada, CSA Z94.3) before
using as a blower.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of
injury to bystanders, keep them
clear of blowing debris.
CAUTION: Wear a dust mask if

CAUTION: To reduce the risk of
hearing damage, wear ear protectors
when using the Vac/Blower for
extended time or in a noisy area.
