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

pass through and out of the cleaner. Do not use a filter with holes or tears, replace it immediately.
