Cleaning the Filter Bag

CAUTION
Wearing a particle mask/respirator for
protection against fine dust particles during
cleaning is highly recommended.
During first use and after cleaning, the filter bag
may allow some dust to escape. This is normal

Clean both the filter and collector bags
frequently to keep the collector's performance at
its optimum. To clean:
1. Disconnect the machine from the power
source.
2. Unhook the filter bag from the hanger and
shake the bag so that the majority of the
dust falls into the collector bag.
3. Loosen the retaining strap, and remove the
filter bag from the housing.
4. Turn the bag inside out and clean.
5. Turn the bag outside in and re-attach to the
housing using the retainer strap to secure.
Removing the Collector Bag
1. Disconnect the machine from the power
source, unplug.
2. Remove the collector bag by pushing the
ring of the collector bag upwards and pulling
the bag out at an angle.
3. Empty the contents into an appropriate
container.
4. Turn the bag inside out and clean.
5. Turn the bag outside in and insert into the
housing.
