NOTICE
Insuffi cient maintenance on the air fi lter
The power of the machine lessens and damage may
occur to the machine.
The fi lter cartridges (Fig. 7/e) and (Fig. 7/f) must be
cleaned by blowing through from the inside out once
a month or more often depending on the level of
contamination. In spite of cleaning the fi lters their
separation effi ciency will continue to deteriorate.
Therefore the fi lters should be replaced every six
months.
The fi lter cartridges (Fig. 7/e) and (Fig. 7/f) can be
removed for cleaning after undoing the fi lter screw
knobs (Fig. 7/h) and the fi lter housing cover (Fig. 7/
g).
Clean the fi lter housing chambers too.
NOTICE
Do not damage the fi lter cartridges when clean-
ing them.
No dirt must get into the machine when cleaning
the fi lter housing chambers.
WARNING
Danger of injury when dealing with com-
pressed air.
When blowing through with compressed air, solid
particles may be carried along or powder dust swirl-
ing around may cause injury to the eyes. Therefore,
when cleaning with compressed air always wear
goggles and a dust mask.
