NOTICE! 

The filter included is made of 

high quality material designed to stop small 
dust particles. The filter should be used for 
dry pick-up only.  A dry filter is necessary 
to pick up dust.  If the dust filter is wet, it 
will clog quickly and be very difficult to 
clean.  Handle the filter carefully when 
removing it for cleaning and replacing it. 
Check the filters for tears or small holes, a 
small hole can let dust pass through and 
out of the cleaner. Do not use a filter with 
holes or tears, replace it immediately.
