There are a variety of Filters available
for STINGER
TM
Wet/Dry Vacuums.
The Filters you choose should depend
upon the task you are performing.
Use the filter bag for larger, general dirt
and debris. For smaller particles such
as dust, use optional cartridge filter
(VF3500). For fine dust pickup, a fine
dust cartridge filter is recommended.
Removal and Installation of the
Filter Bag
1. Remove the retainer band and the
Filter Bag from the filter cage.
2. Place new filter bag on filter cage until
the open end touches the bottom of
the lid.
3. Stretch the retainer band over the filter
bag, securing it to the lid.
4. Make sure the retainer band is
positioned on the Filter Bag properly,
covering the black printed line.
Removal and Installation
of the Qwik Lock™ Filter
Filter Installation:
1. Carefully slide the Qwik Lock™ Filter
over the filter cage and press down on
the outside edge of the filter until the

of the filter cage and against the lid.
2. Align the small center hole in the top
of the filter over the Qwik Lock™ stud
on the filter cage. Press firmly on top
of the filter near the stud to allow the
filter to snap over the ball on the end
of the stud. The filter is now attached.
Filter Removal:
1. Hold the filter tabs of the Qwik Lock™
Filter in each hand.
2. With one thumb on the Qwik Lock™
stud, which protrudes through the
integrated filter plate, lift up on the
filter tabs while pushing down on the
