Choosing the Correct Filter

WARNING: To reduce the risk of
damage to the Vacuum, do not run
motor with float in raised position.
A cartridge Filter should be used
and positioned correctly during all
vacuuming operations to avoid
debris leaks and possible damage
to the vacuum motor.
There are a variety of Filters available for
WORKSHOP ® Wet/Dry Vacuums.
The Filters you choose should depend
upon the task you are performing.
Not all available Filters are included with
each model, but they may be purchased
from retailers carrying WORKSHOP
Wet/Dry Vacuums or from
www.WORKSHOPvacs.com.
The available Filters include:
1. Half-Height Pleated Paper Cartridge
Filters
a. The available Half-Height Pleated
Paper Cartridge Filters include catalog
numbers WS11045F (Standard),
WS12045F (Fine Dust).
b. Each of these Pleated Paper
Cartridge Filters are intended for
cleaning up dry debris, however, a
small amount of liquid can be picked
up without damaging the Filter. When
maintained properly, small amounts
of liquid will not cause damage to the
Filter. When picking up larger
amounts of liquid, the Pleated Paper
Cartridge Filter will become
saturated, misting may appear in the
vacuum's exhaust, and the Filter may
be damaged. After using the Vac to
pick up small amounts of liquid, the
Pleated Paper Cartridge Filter must
be dried to avoid mildew and
damage.
c. If you are using your Vac to pick up
very fine dust, it will be necessary for
you to empty the drum and clean the
Filter at more frequent intervals to
maintain peak vacuum performance.
OPERATION (continued)
d. See "Filter Removal and Installation"
section for directions on how to
change the Pleated Paper Cartridge
Filter.
2. Dust Collection Bags
a. The available Dust Collection Bag
is catalog number WS32045F.
b. The Dust Collection Bag is intended
for cleaning up dry debris ONLY.
c. If the debris being picked up has any
moisture, the bag will absorb the
moisture and may deteriorate very
quickly, making the bag non-functional.
d. If you are using your vacuum to pick
up fine dust, the Dust Collection Bag
will make cleanup easier.
Note: Dust Collection Bag MUST be used in conjunction with a Pleated
Paper Cartridge Filter.
e. Directions for Installation and
Removal of Dust Collection Bags are
printed on the bags.
