DRY PICK-UP
1. The filter must always be in correct position to reduce the risk
of leaks and possible damage to vac. Make sure that the filter
is completely covering the filter cage. Make sure there are no
gaps between the filter and the lid. It is very important to
assemble the filter to the cage without allowing any possible
leaks or tears. Any leaks will allow the picked up debris to be
blown out of the blowing port and back into the surrounding
environment.
2. When using your vac to pick up very fine dust, it will be
necessary to empty the dust tank and clean or replace the filte r
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. If the filter gets wet, replace it before
continuing to do dry pickups.
