To reduce the risk of in-
jury, always remove the battery pack before
removing the dust box. Do not use tool with-

fi
lter clean. Ef
fi
ciency of
the HAMMERVAC™ is largely dependent on
the
fi
lter. A dirty
fi
lter will reduce the air
fl
ow

fi
ciency of the system. Do not
clean with water or compressed air. Remove
