filters on hand. 
NOTICE!
 The filters included are made of high 
quality materials designed to stop small dust 
particles. The cartridge filter should be used 
for dry pick-up only. A dry cartridge filter is 
necessary to pick up dust. If the cartridge filter 
is wet, it will clog quickly and be very difficult to 
clean. Handle the filter carefully when removing 
it for cleaning and replacing it. Check the filters 
for tears or small holes, a small hole can let 
dust pass through and out of the filter. Do 
not use a filter with holes or tears, replace it 
immediately.
