FILTER REMOVAL & INSTALLATION
There are a variety of Filters available for
WORKSHOP® Wet/Dry Vacuums. The
Filters you choose should depend upon
the task you are performing. Use the
filter bag for larger, general dirt and
debris. For smaller particles such as
dust, use a standard cartridge filter.
For fine dust pickup, a fine dust cartridge
filter is recommended.
Removal and Installation of the
Filter Bag
1. Remove the retainer band and the
Filter Bag from the filter cage.
2. Place new filter bag on filter cage until
the open end touches the bottom of
the lid.
3. Stretch the retainer band over the filter
bag, securing it to the lid.
4. Make sure the retainer band is
positioned on the Filter Bag properly,
covering the black printed line.
Removal and Installation
of the Qwik Lock™ Filter
Filter Removal:
1. Hold the filter tabs of the Qwik Lock™
Filter in each hand.
2. With one thumb on the Qwik Lock™
stud, which protrudes through the
integrated filter plate, lift up on the
filter tabs while pushing down on the
stud.
3. This action will cause the filter to
release from the filter cage. Slide filter
off cage.
Filter Installation:
1. Carefully slide the Qwik Lock™ Filter
over the filter cage and press down on
the outside edge of the filter until the
rubber gasket on the bottom of the
filter seats securely around the base
of the filter cage and against the lid.
2. Align the small center hole in the top
of the filter over the Qwik Lock™ stud
on the filter cage. Press firmly on top
of the filter near the stud to allow the
filter to snap over the ball on the end
of the stud. The filter is now attached.
