Maintenance
Never perform maintenance on
this machine before turning switch off and
removing plug from power source. Failure to
comply may cause serious injury!
Cleaning the Filter Bag – DC-1100A/RC
Wearing a particle mask or
respirator for protection against fine dust
particles during cleaning is highly recommended.
During first use and after cleaning, the filter bag may
allow some dust to escape. This is normal and will
stop after a short period of time.
Clean both the filter and collector bags frequently to
keep the collector's performance at its optimum. To
clean:
1. Disconnect the machine from the power source.
2. Unhook the filter bag from the hanger and shake
the bag so that the majority of the dust falls into
the collector bag.
3. Loosen the retaining strap, and remove the filter
bag from the housing.
4. Turn the bag inside out and clean.
5. Turn the bag outside in and re-attach to the
housing using the retainer strap to secure.
