particles of dust. The filter can be used for wet or dry pick up. A dry filter is necessary to
pick up dry material. If you use your vac to pick up dust when the filter is wet, the filter
will clog quickly and be very difficult to clean. The filter may become saturated when
picking up large quantities of liquid causing misting to appear in the exhaust air. At this
time, you should dry or change the filter to eliminate this occurrence. Please handle the
filter carefully when removing it for cleaning or when installing it. Check the filter for tears
or small holes. Even a small hole can cause dust to be exhausted. Do not use a filter with
holes or tears. Replace it immediately.
