NOTICE

Do not vacuum drywall dust, replace soot, or ash with a standard Wet/Dry lter. This is a very

ne dust which will not be captured by the lter and may cause damage to the motor. When

vacuuming ne dust, use a ne dust lter (included). To purchase the additional ne dust lters,

call 1-866-384-8432 or get them at your local or online Vacmaster

retailer.
