SAFETY

READ MANUAL BEFORE OPERATING MACHINE.

FAILURE TO FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS BELOW WILL

RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY.

Standard Safety Instructions

1. READ THROUGH THE ENTIRE MANUAL BEFORE STARTING MACHINERY. Machinery presents serious

injury hazards to untrained users.

2. ALWAYS USE ANSI APPROVED SAFETY GLASSES WHEN OPERATING MACHINERY. Everyday eye-

glasses only have impact resistant lenses—they are NOT safety glasses.

3. ALWAYS WEAR A NIOSH APPROVED RESPIRATOR WHEN OPERATING MACHINERY THAT PRODUCES
DUST. Wood dust is a carcinogen and can cause cancer and severe respiratory illnesses.

4. ALWAYS USE HEARING PROTECTION WHEN OPERATING MACHINERY. Machinery noise can cause

permanent hearing damage.

5. WEAR PROPER APPAREL. DO NOT wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, or jewelry which may
get caught in moving parts. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair and wear non-slip
footwear.

6. NEVER OPERATE MACHINERY WHEN TIRED, OR UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF DRUGS OR ALCOHOL.

Be mentally alert at all times when running machinery.

7. ONLY ALLOW TRAINED AND PROPERLY SUPERVISED PERSONNEL TO OPERATE MACHINERY. Make
sure operation instructions are safe and clearly understood.

8. KEEP CHILDREN AND VISITORS AWAY. Keep all children and visitors a safe distance from the work
area.

9. MAKE WORKSHOP CHILD PROOF. Use padlocks, master switches, and remove start switch keys.

Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, WILL
result in death or serious injury.

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, COULD
result in death or serious injury.

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, MAY
result in minor or moderate injury.

This symbol is used to alert the user to useful information about proper
operation of the equipment, and/or a situation that may cause damage
to the machinery.

NOTICE

SAFETY

-6-

W1816 Owner's Manual (Mfg. Since 10/09)

10. NEVER LEAVE WHEN MACHINE IS RUNNING. Turn power OFF and allow all moving parts to come to
a complete stop before leaving machine unattended.

11. DO NOT USE IN DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS. DO NOT use machinery in damp, wet locations, or
where any flammable or noxious fumes may exist.

12. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN AND WELL LIT. Clutter and dark shadows may cause accidents.

13. USE A GROUNDED EXTENSION CORD RATED FOR THE MACHINE AMPERAGE. Undersized cords over-

heat and lose power. Replace extension cords if they become damaged. DO NOT use extension cords
for 220V machinery.

14. ALWAYS DISCONNECT FROM POWER SOURCE BEFORE SERVICING MACHINERY. Make sure switch is
in OFF position before reconnecting.

15. MAINTAIN MACHINERY WITH CARE. Keep blades sharp and clean for best and safest performance.
Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.

16. MAKE SURE GUARDS ARE IN PLACE AND WORK CORRECTLY BEFORE USING MACHINERY.

17. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Make a habit of checking for keys and adjusting

wrenches before turning machinery ON.

18. CHECK FOR DAMAGED PARTS BEFORE USING MACHINERY. Check for binding and alignment of
parts, broken parts, part mounting, loose bolts, and any other conditions that may affect machine
operation. Repair or replace damaged parts.

19. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Refer to the instruction manual for recommended accessories.
The use of improper accessories may cause risk of injury.

20. DO NOT FORCE MACHINERY. Work at the speed for which the machine or accessory was designed.

21. SECURE WORKPIECE. Use clamps or a vise to hold the workpiece when practical. A secured

workpiece protects your hands and frees both hands to operate the machine.

22. DO NOT OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.

23. MANY MACHINES WILL EJECT THE WORKPIECE TOWARD THE OPERATOR. Know and avoid condi-

tions that cause the workpiece to "kickback."

24. ALWAYS LOCK MOBILE BASES (IF USED) BEFORE OPERATING MACHINERY.

25. BE AWARE THAT CERTAIN DUST MAY BE HAZARDOUS to the respiratory systems of people and

animals, especially fine dust. Make sure you know the hazards associated with the type of dust you
will be exposed to and always wear a respirator approved for that type of dust.

Additional Safety for Dust Collectors

READ and understand this
entire manual before using
this machine. Serious per-

SAFETY

1. IMPELLER/INLET SAFETY: Do not place your hands or tools near the open inlet during operation

for any reason. The power suction of the rotating impeller could cause accidental contact,
resulting in serious personal injury or damage to the machine.

2. MACHINE USE: The machine is intended to only collect wood dust and chips. Do not use the dust

collector as a vacuum or with machines producing dust/chips from metal, asbestos products, lead
paint, silica, or any products that are not natural wood or man-made products manufactured from
wood fiber, such as plywood or particle boards.

3. WEAR RESPIRATOR: This machine may blow fine dust particles into the air during operation

causing a hazard to the lungs. Always wear an ANSI approved respirator during dust collector
operation and for a short time after as the dust settles.

sonal injury may occur
if safety and operational
information is not under­stood and followed. DO
NOT risk your safety by
not reading!

USE this and other machinery with caution
and respect. Always consider safety first,
as it applies to your individual working
conditions. No list of safety guidelines can
be complete—every shop environment is
different. Failure to follow guidelines could
result in serious personal injury, damage
to equipment or poor work results.

4. SUSPENDED DUST PARTICLES & IGNITION SOURCES: Do not operate the dust collector in areas

where dust explosion risks are high, such as near pilot lights or open flames.

5. ALLERGIC REACTION: Be aware that certain woods may cause an allergic reaction in people and

animals, especially when exposed to fine dust. To avoid an allergic reaction, make sure you know
what type of wood dust you will be exposed to.

6. AVOIDING FIRES: Do not allow metal particles to strike the impeller! This may produce a spark,

which can smolder in the wood dust for a long time before the fire or flame is detected. If you
accidentally collect metal during operation, immediately turn the dust collector OFF, disconnect it
from power, and wait for the impeller to stop. Then, remove the collection bags and empty them
into an approved air-tight metal container. Prevent any chance of accidental collection of metal
again before resuming operations.

7. EMPTYING DUST: When emptying dust from the collection bags, wear an ANSI approved respirator

and safety glasses to avoid lung or eye hazards caused by fine dust. Empty the dust away from
ignition sources and into an approved container, then dispose of it properly.

8. SAFE MAINTENANCE & SERVICE: Disconnect the dust collector from power and allow the impeller

to come to a complete stop on its own before performing maintenance, service, adjustments, or
emptying collection bags.

Machine Placement

• Floor Load: This machine distributes a

heavy load in a small footprint. Some
residential floors may require additional
bracing to support both machine and
op er ato r.

• Lighting: Lighting should be bright enough

to eliminate shadow and prevent eye strain.

• Electrical: Electrical circuits must be

dedicated or large enough to handle
amperage requirements. Outlets must be
located near each machine, so power or
extension cords are clear of high-traffic
areas. Follow local electrical codes for
proper installation of new lighting, outlets,
or circuits.

SETUP

USE helpers or power lift­ing equipment to lift this
dust collector. Otherwise,
serious personal injury
may occur.

Mounting to Shop

Floor

Although not required, we recommend
that you mount your new machine to the
floor. Because this is an optional step and
floor materials may vary, floor mounting
hardware is not included.

We also recommend that you use a
precision level to level your dust collector
for smooth operation of the motor and
imp el ler.

Bolting to Concrete Floors

Anchor studs and lag screws and anchors
(Figure 6) are two popular methods for
anchoring an object to a concrete floor.
We suggest you research the many options
and methods for mounting your machine
and choose the best that fits your specific
application.

MAKE your shop “child
safe.” Ensure that your
workplace is inaccessible
to children by closing and
locking all entrances when
you are away. NEVER allow
untrained visitors in your
shop when assembling,
adjusting or operating
equipment.

Anchor Stud

Lag Screw and Anchor

Figure 6. Typical fasteners for mounting to

concrete floors.

NOTICE

Anchor studs are stronger and more
permanent alternatives to lag shield
anchors; however, they will stick out of
the floor, which may cause a tripping
hazard later if you decide to move
your machine.

W1816 Owner's Manual (Mfg. Since 10/09)

Assembly

NOTICE

Using air tools to tighten the fasteners in the
assembly of your dust collector may crack or chip the
paint because of their high torque. We recommend
that you use hand tools or an electric tool with a low
clutch setting.

The safest and most efficient method of assembling your
dust collector is to turn the blower housing assembly
upside down and attach the parts upward, as instructed
in the following steps.

Tools & Items Needed Qty

Wrench 8mm .....................................................1

Wrench 12mm ...................................................2

Wrench 14mm ...................................................1

Phillips Screwdriver #2 .........................................1

Shop Scissors or Knife ..........................................1

To assemble your dust collector, do these steps:

1. After removing the crate from the shipping pallet,

set the smaller items aside in a safe location.

2. With help from other people, place the blower

housing assembly upside down on two saw horses
that are at least 18" from the floor and that can fully
support the weight (see Figure 7 for an example).

Note: Take care not to damage the attached switch

assembly and electrical cords as you turn the blower
housing assembly over, and make sure that the
motor is not supporting any weight.

Test Run

Once the assembly is complete and before you connect to
any duct lines, test run your machine to make sure it runs
properly.

If, during the test run, you cannot easily locate the source
of an unusual noise or vibration, stop using the machine
immediately, then review the Troubleshooting guide on
Page 39.

If you still cannot remedy a problem, contact our Tech
Support at [phone] for assistance.

Note: Without any inlet flow constriction, the motor
will work the hardest and draw maximum amps. If this
condition should trip the circuit breaker, connect the inlet
port to your duct system or a duct hose with a blast gate
closed half-way.

To test run the machine, do these steps:

1. Make sure you have read the safety instructions at

SETUP

the beginning of the manual and that the machine is
setup properly.

2. Make sure all tools and objects used during setup are
cleared away from the machine.

3. Review the Electrical requirements on Page 9 and
connect the machine to the power source.

4. Press the start switch to allow power to flow to the
magnetic switch—the power light will illuminate
(see Figure 31). Refer to Basic Controls on Page 24
for additional details on the controls for your dust
collector.

5. Press the ON/OFF button to turn the machine
ON—the run light will come on. Make sure your hand
is poised over the start switch in case you need to
quickly turn the machine OFF.

Remote Control

The remote control for the Model W1816
(see Figure 33) uses infrared (IR) to
communicate with the magnetic switch
rather than radio frequency (RF). This
prevents accidental startup of the dust
collector by other common devices that
use radio frequencies, such as garage door
openers. Because the remote control must
have a direct line-of-sight path between
the devices, you must point the remote
control directly at the switch to make it
operate.

If you plan on placing your dust collector
in a different room or outside of your
shop, you must mount the switch in the
shop and wire it through the wall to the
dust collector to make use of the remote
control.

Note: The remote control requires two AA
batteries for operation.

Ducting Materials

You have many choices regarding main line and branch
line duct material. For best results, use metal duct for
the main line and branch lines, then use a short length
of flexible hose to connect each machine to the branch
lines.

Plastic duct is also a popular material for home shops.
However, be aware that there is a fire or explosion hazard
if plastic duct material is used for dust collection without
being grounded against static electrical charge build-up.
This topic will be discussed later in the manual. Another
problem with using plastic is that it is less efficient per
foot than metal.

Metal Duct

Advantages of metal duct (see Figure 34) is its
conductivity and that it does not contribute to static
electrical charge build-up. However, static charges are
still produced when dust particles strike other dust
particles as they move through the duct. Since metal duct
is a conductor, it can be grounded quite easily to dissipate
any static electrical charges.

There are quite a number of options when it comes to
metal duct, but metal duct that is specially manufactured
for dust collection is the best choice. When selecting
your metal duct, choose high quality metal duct with
smooth welded internal seams that will minimize airflow
resistance. This type of duct usually connects to other
ducts or elbows with a simple, self-sealing clamps, is very
quick and easy to assemble, and can be dismantled and
re-installed with no problems. This is especially important
if you ever need to change things around in your shop or
add more tools.

Avoid inferior metal duct that requires you to cut it to
length and snap it together. This type of duct is time
consuming to install because it requires you to seal all
the seams with silicone and screw the components on
the ends with sheet metal screws. Another disadvantage
is the rough internal seams and crimped ends that
unavoidably increase static pressure.

OPERATIONS

Figure 34. Examples of metal duct.

-25-

Flexible Duct

Flexible hose is generally used for short runs, small shops
and at rigid duct-to-tool connections. There are many
different types of flex hose on the market today. These
are manufactured from materials such as polyethylene,
PVC, cloth hose dipped in rubber and even metal,
including steel and aluminum.

The superior choice here is metal flex hose (see
Figure 35) that is designed to be flexible, yet be as
smooth as possible to reduce static pressure loss.

There are also many kinds of pure plastic flexible hose,
such as non-perforated drainage type hose and dryer vent
hose. Drainage type hose, while being economical, does
not quite have the flexibility required for dust collection.
The inside of the duct is also deeply corrugated and
can increase the static pressure loss by as much as 50%
over smooth wall duct. Dryer vent hose, while being
completely flexible, is non-resistant to abrasion and has
a tendency to collapse in a negative pressure system. We
DO NOT recommend using dryer vent hose in your dust
collection system.

W1816 Owner's Manual (Mfg. Since 10/09)

Figure 35. Example of a metal flexible

duct.

If using flex-hose, you should choose one of the many
types that are designed specifically for the movement
of solid particles, i.e. dust, grains and plastics. However,
the cost of specifically designed flexible duct can vary
greatly. Polyethylene hose is well suited for the removal
of particulate matter, especially sawdust, since it is
durable and completely flexible. Polyethylene is also very
economical and available in a wide variety of diameters

OPERATIONS

and lengths for most applications.

Plastic Duct

The popularity of plastic duct (see Figure 36) is due to
the fact that it is an economical and readily available
product. It is also simple to assemble and easily sealed
against air loss. The primary disadvantage of plastic
duct for dust collection is the inherent danger of static
electrical build-up.

System Design

Step 1: Decide Who Will Design

For most small-to-medium sized shops, you can design
and build the dust collection system yourself without
hiring engineers or consultants. We have included some
information here to get you started on a basic design.

If you have a large shop or end up designing a
complicated system, then we recommend that you do
additional research beyond this manual, or that you seek
the help of an expert.

Step 2: Sketch Your Shop Layout

When designing a successful dust collection system,
planning is the most important step. In this step, you
must sketch a basic layout of your shop.

Your sketch only needs the basic details of the shop
layout, similar to Figure 37, including all your current/
planned machines and your planned placement of the
dust collector.

Figure 37. Example of initial shop layout

sketch.

Step 3: Sketch a Basic Duct Layout

For the next step, sketch how you will connect your
machines to the dust collector. Consider these general
guidelines for an efficient system:

1. Machines that produce the most saw dust should be
placed nearest to the dust collector (i.e. planers and
sanders).

2. Ideally, you should design the duct system to have
the shortest possible main line and secondary
branch ducts. See Figures 38–39 for ideas of good
duct layouts versus bad duct layouts.

OPERATIONS

Figure 38. Example of a good basic duct

layout.

Figure 39. Example of a bad basic duct

layout.

-27-

3. Directional changes should be kept to a minimum.
The more directional change fittings you use directly
increases the overall resistance to airflow.

4. Gradual directional changes are more efficient than
sudden directional changes (i.e. use the largest
corner radius possible when changing hose or pipe
direction).

5. Each individual branch line should have a blast gate
immediately after the branch to control suction from
one machine to another.

6. The simpler the system, the more efficient and less
costly it will be.

Step 4: Determine CFM of Each Machine

Since each machine produces a different amount of
sawdust, the requirements for the minimum amount of air
flow or CFM (cubic feet per minute) to move that sawdust
is unique to the machine (for example, a planer produces
more sawdust than a table saw). Knowing this required
CFM is important to gauging which size of duct to use.

W1816 Owner's Manual (Mfg. Since 10/09)

The chart in Figure 40 will give you a close estimation
of the airflow your machine requires. Keep in mind that
machines that generate the most sawdust should be
placed closest to the dust collector. If the machine has
multiple dust ports, the total CFM required is the sum of
all ports.

The general rule of thumb for a main line duct is that the
velocity of the airflow must not fall below 3500 FPM.

Use the inlet size of the dust collector as a starting point
for the main line. Neck the main line down 1" for every
10' of length. This will usually keep the air velocity above
3500 FPM and, depending on your system, will allow you
to keep multiple branches open at one time.

Mark your drawing as in Figure 43, but using the inlet size
for your dust collector as the main line.

Determining Branch Line Duct Diameter

The general rule of thumb for a branch line duct is that
the velocity of the airflow must not fall below 4000 FPM.

For small/medium sized shops, using the dust port size
from the machine as the branch line duct size will achieve
the correct velocity in most applications. However, if the
dust port on the machine is smaller than 4", make the
branch line 4" and neck the line down right before the
dust port.

W1816 Owner's Manual (Mfg. Since 10/09)

Note: Systems with powerful dust collectors work better
if multiple blast gates are left open. This also allows you
to run two machines at once. Experiment with different
combinations of blast gates open/closed to find the best
results for your system.

Write your determined branch line sizes on your drawing,

Multiple Dust Ports

If your machine has multiple dust ports, add the total CFM
given for each dust port size from Figure 40. Refer to
the chart in Figure 45 and find the CFM that is closest to
your total to determine the correct branch size. Split the
branch line just before the dust ports with matching duct
sizes.

Two Machines on Same Branch Line

If both machines will be running at the same time,
add the total CFM given for each dust port size from
Figure 40.

If both the machines will never be run at the same time,
reference the machine with biggest dust port to Figure
45 and add blast gates after the Y-branch to open/close
the line to each machine.

Calculating Duct Resistance

Adding duct work, elbows, branches and any other
components to a duct line increases airflow resistance
(static pressure loss). This resistance can be minimized by
using rigid (smooth) pipe and gradual curves, as opposed

toflexiblepipeand90˚elbows.

To help you think about this resistance, imagine riding a
bicycle in a tunnel that is an exact replica of your duct
work. If the inside of the tunnel is very bumpy (flexible

pipe)andhasalotofsharpturns(90˚elbows),itwilltake

a lot more effort to travel from one end to the other.

The purpose of calculating the resistance is to determine
if it is low enough from the machine to the dust collector
to meet the given CFM requirement for the machine. Use
the charts in Figure 46 to calculate the resistance of duct
work.

calculate the line with the longest duct length or the

line with the highest resistance works, the others will be
fine).

To calculate the static pressure of any given line in the
system, do these steps:

W1816 Owner's Manual (Mfg. Since 10/09)

1. Make a list of each size duct in the line, including

the length, and multiply those numbers by the static
pressure value given in Figure 46.

2. List each type of elbow or branch and multiply the

quantity (if more than one) by the static pressure
loss given in Figure 46.

3. Add the additional factors from Figure 47 to your

list.

4. Total your list as shown in the example in Figure 48

to come up with your overall static pressure loss
number for that line.

Note: Always account for a seasoned filter, so you

don't end up with a system that only works right
when the filter is clean.

Note: When calculating static pressure loss to determine

if multiple lines can be left open at the same time,
only include the main line numbers once.

5. Compare the total static pressure loss for that line
to the closest CFM given in the Performance Curve
section on the Machine Data Sheet for your dust
collector on Page 4.

Example: The Model W1816 Data Sheet

Performance Curve is illustrated in Figure 49.
Find 4.4 on the Static Pressure axis (the amount of
total static pressure loss calculated in Figure 48),
then refer to the closest value on the CFM axis—
approximately 1380 CFM.

The 1380 CFM for the static pressure loss of the line

connected to the router table is well above the 220
CFM requirement of that machine.

— If the CFM for your static pressure loss is above

the requirement of the machine connected to the
end of that branch line, then dust collection will
most likely be successful. Congratulations! You've
just designed your own dust system.

— If the CFM for your static pressure loss is below

the requirement of the machine, then that line
will not effectively collect the dust. You must then
modify some of the factors in that line to reduce
the static pressure loss. Some of the ways to do
this include: 1) Installing larger duct, 2) reducing
amount of flexible duct used, 3) increasing
machine dust port size, 4) moving machine closer
to dust collector to eliminate duct length, and 5)

Screw

Since plastic hose is abundant, relatively inexpensive,
easily assembled and air tight, it is a very popular
material for conveying dust from woodworking machines
to the dust collector. However, plastic flex-hose
and plastic duct are an insulator, and dust particles
moving against the walls of the plastic duct create a
static electrical build up. This charge will build until
it discharges to a ground. If a grounding medium is
not available to prevent static electrical build up, the
electrical charge will arc to the nearest grounded source.
This electrical discharge may cause an explosion and
subsequent fire inside the system.

To protect against static electrical build up inside a non­conducting duct, a bare copper wire should be placed
inside the duct along its length and grounded to the dust
collector. You must also confirm that the dust collector
is continuously grounded through the electrical circuit to
the electric service panel.

W1816 Owner's Manual (Mfg. Since 10/09)

ALWAYS guard against static electrical
build-up by properly grounding all dust
collection lines.

If you connect the dust collector to more than one
machine by way of a non-conducting branching duct
system and blast gates, the system must still be
grounded as mentioned above. We recommend inserting
a continuous bare copper ground wire inside the entire
duct system and attaching the wire to each grounded
woodworking machine and dust collector.

Be sure that you extend the bare copper wire down all
branches of the system. Do not forget to connect the

OPERATIONS

wires to each other with wire nuts when two branches
meet at a “Y” or “T” connection.

Ensure that the entire system is grounded. If using plastic
blast gates to direct air flow, the grounding wire must be
jumped (see Figure 50) around the blast gate without
interruption to the grounding system.

We also recommend wrapping the outside of all plastic
ducts with bare copper wire to ground the outside of the
system against static electrical build up. Wire connections
at Y’s and T’s should be made with wire nuts.

Attach the bare ground wire to each stationary
woodworking machine and attach to the dust collector
frame with a ground screw as shown in Figure 51. Ensure
that each machine is continuously grounded to the
grounding terminal in your electric service panel.

sides of a plastic blast gate and metal

MAINTENANCE

General

Regular maintenance on your machine will ensure its
optimum performance. Make a habit of inspecting your
machine each time you use it.

Check for the following conditions and repair or
replace when necessary:

• Loose mounting bolts.

• Worn switch.

• Worn or damaged cords and plugs.

• Any other condition that could hamper the safe

operation of this machine.

Emptying Drum

MAKE SURE that your machine is
unplugged during all maintenance pro­cedures! If this warning is ignored,
serious personal injury may occur.

Empty the collection drum when it is no more than 3⁄4
full. If the drum is overfilled, dust will be sucked into the
inlet cylinder and pass through to the filter.

How quickly the drum will fill up is based on the type of
work being done at that time.

A machine that produces fine dust, such as a sander or
table saw, will slowly fill the drum.

A machine that produces curly shavings, such as a planer
or jointer, will quickly fill the drum.

In the beginning, check your drum regularly to get an idea
of how often it needs to be emptied.

Lubrication

Since all bearings are sealed and
permanently lubricated, simply leave them
alone until they need to be replaced. Do
not lubricate them.

Removing Canister Filter

The canister filter assemblies can be easily removed for
replacing or cleaning.

Tools Needed Qty

Wrench or Socket 12mm .......................................1

To remove a canister filter, do these steps:

1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!

2. Remove the bag clamp and the collection bag from

the canister bottom.

3. With the help of another person to support the

canister filter, remove the hex bolt and fender
washer from the center shaft shown in Figure 52.

4. Slide the filter off the cleaning assembly, making

sure not to damage the cleaning flaps.

W1816 Owner's Manual (Mfg. Since 10/09)

Note: The upper filter seal that mates with the

blower housing assembly is very tight. It may be
necessary to wiggle the filter back and forth with a
downward pressure to remove it.

To replace the canister filter, perform the above steps in
reverse.

Cleaning Canister Filter

Your cyclone dust collector is equipped with easy-to-use
canister filter cleaning mechanisms that are controlled
by the cleaning handles on the tops of the canisters (see
Figure 53). To clean the filters, rotate the cranks 3–4
revolutions to knock the caked dust from the inside filter
pleats into the attached collection bag.

MAINTENANCE

Empty the canister collection bag when it is no more than

3

⁄4 full. If the bag becomes overfilled, the dust collector

will become ineffective in removing the fine dust from
the lines.

Hex Bolt

& Fender Washer

NOTICE

To avoid damaging the filter fabric, do
not leave it in the sun or use compressed
air in the cleaning process.

Cleaning Handle

Rinsing Canister Filter

For a thorough cleaning, the filter can be removed and
rinsed off. However, make sure to clean the filter with the
cleaning mechanisms first. Allow the filter to air dry, but
do not leave it out in the sun or use compressed air—both

could damage the filter fabric.
