CLEANING OR REPLACING THE FILTER BAG
Tip: To avoid potentially costly down-time, consider keeping a spare filter bag on-hand and nearby for use if needed.
After a period of time, depending on the frequency of use, the filter bag may become clogged and affect airflow
as well the overall efficiency of the unit. Should you notice a drop in the efficiency or performance of the unit, it
may be a sign that it is time to clean the filter bag. If so, proceed as follows:
1.
Turn off and unplug the machine. Unclip the belt
clamp and remove the bag from the machine.
Clean the dust from inside the filter bag using a
vacuum.
Note: For extreme cases, after the initial cleaning with a
vacuum, turn the filter bag inside out and vacuum a sec-
ond time, laying the bag on a flat hard surface (such as
a table or workbench) and slowly passing the vacuum
nozzle over the entire surface area.
2.
Reinstall the bag and reattach the clamp.
Note: Filter bags can also be machine washed (gentle
cycle only) in cold or warm water. Do not use hot water
or detergent. Make sure the bag has completely dried be-
fore reinstalling on the machine. Make sure to remove the
belt clamp from the bag before washing!
