Cleaning Vac Filter

WARNING: To reduce the risk of
injury from accidental starting,
unplug power cord before changing
or cleaning filter or foam pad.
NOTE: The filter is made of high quality
paper designed to stop very small particles
of dust. The filter can be used for dry pick
up or small amounts of liquid. Handle the
filter carefully when removing to clean or
installing it. Creases in the filter pleats may
occur from installation but will not affect the
performance of the filter.

Filter Installation:

over the filter cage and press down on
the outside edge of the filter until the

seats securely around the base of the
filter cage and against the lid.

without filter cage and float, as they
prevent liquid from entering the
impeller and damaging the motor.
