Air Filter System
The air filter system can be adapted to
suit different operating conditions by
installing a choice of filters. Changing
the filter is quick and simple.
The saw comes standard with either a
fleece filter or a fabric filter.
Fleece filter with felt prefilter
For normal, dry and very dusty work
areas.
Fabric filter
For severe winter conditions (e.g.
powder and drifting snow, frost).
