filter compartment. The dust filter filters the air
which is drawn up from the main brush
compartment. Rap on the front filter housing with
a fist daily to shake the excess dust from the filter.
Clean the filter after every 3 hours of operation.
Use one of the following methods to clean the
dust filter:

Tapping -- Tap the filter gently on a flat
surface with the dirty side down. Do not
damage the edges of the filter element or
the filter will not seat properly in the filter
frame.

Air -- Blow compressed air, 40 psi (275 kPa)
maximum, through the dust filter opposite
the direction of the arrows.
