vacuum,

 

constantly

 

check

 

the

 

nozzle,

 

hose,

 

canister,

 

fi

lters

 

and

 

motor

to

 

see

 

if

 

the

Hints

 

 

Do

 

not

 

shove

 

or

 

bury

 

the

clog

 

with

 

debris.

 

 

Rest

 

the

 

nozzle

 

tip

 

on

 

the

 

fi

rebrick

 

at

 

roughly

 

a

 

45°

and

 

allow

quickly

 

through

 

the

&

 

hose

 

without

 

clogging.
