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.
