Your Filter Bag should be cleaned often to
maintain peak Vac performance.
NOTE: The Filter Bag is made of high
quality material designed to stop small
particles such as sawdust. Handle the
Filter Bag carefully when removing to
clean or installing a New Filter Bag. Do
not tear the Filter Bag during removal or
installation if your intent is to reuse the
Filter Bag.
Easy to Replace Filter Bag
1. Remove the Retainer Band and Filter
Bag from the Filter Cage.
2. Place the Replacement Filter Bag on
the Filter Cage until the open end
touches the bottom of the Powerhead
Assembly.
3. Install the Retainer Band around the
Filter Bag, locating it over the Rib Tabs
on the Filter Cage.
IMPORTANT: To avoid damage to the
Blower Wheel and Motor, always reinstall
the Filter Bag before using the Vac for dry
material pick-up.
Take the dirty Filter Bag to a disposal
container and gently brush away small dirt
particles that may be adhering to the Filter
Bag material.
IMPORTANT: After cleaning, check the
Filter Bag for tears or small holes. Do
not use a Filter Bag with holes or tears
in it. Even a small hole can allow a lot of
dust to come out of your Vac. Replace it
immediately.
Maintenance

Installation of Filter Bag
Before installing the Filter Bag on the
Vac, clean the area of the Powerhead
Assembly so that the Retainer Band will
seal the Filter Bag against the Powerhead
Assembly and stop small particles from
bypassing the Filter Bag.
If the Filter Bag is clean and not damaged,
replace it on the Filter Cage. If it cannot be
reused, place a new Filter Bag over the
Filter Cage.
Replace the Retainer Band around the
Filter Bag. Make sure the Retainer Band
is positioned on the Filter Bag, and the
Filter Bag completely covers the Filter
Cage. Also, make sure the edges of the
Filter Bag are completely secured under
the Retainer Band.
NOTE: Clean the Filter Bag in an open
area. Cleaning should be done outdoors
and not in the living quarters.

Do not remove the filter cage and
float. The float prevents liquid from
entering the impeller and damaging
the motor. The cage prevents fingers
from touching the moving impeller.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of injury from
accidental starting, unplug power
cord before changing or cleaning
filter bag.
