However, if fine dust, such as drill dust,
sand, plaster or flour is vacuumed, the
pores of the filter bag may become
blocked. The marker will indicate that
the bag is "full" even when it is not. The
filter bag should be changed as the
suction power is greatly reduced.
If the bag is bulging with pet fur, hair,
carpet fluff, etc. the indicator may not
register "full". This is because the air
flow of the filter bag may still be high
enough not to activate the marker to
show maximum. The filter bag should
still be changed.

How to change the filter bag

^ Open the dust compartment lid
(see fig. 9).

closes to prevent dust from escaping
when the bag is removed.
^ Grasp the finger grip and pull the
filter bag out of the holder.
^ Insert the new filter bag into the hol-
der as far as it will go. Note: Do NOT
unfold the filter bag when you first re-
move it from the box.
^ Wait until you have inserted the filter
bag into the compartment before
unfolding it.
^ Now close the dust compartment lid
until it clicks into place, taking care
not to catch the filter bag in the lid.

If you do not insert a replacement
filter bag, the dust compartment lid is
designed not to close. Do not use
force!
