(1)
Checking the Filters 		Daily

First, remove the catch clip on the filter case. Then remove the filter case lid. Take cartridge filter from filter case lid and clean. Remove any dust sticking to filter with vacuum cleaner After cleaning, securely put everything back in place.

  When installing the cartridge filter, set open side with packing facing the lid of the filter case.
  When used with lid not securely attached to packing, dust may penetrate blower and cause blower damage.
  Filters that have been damaged, are deteriorating, deforming or cannot have dirt removed, should be replaced with new ones. If dust penetrates the blower because of the damaged areas or the material does not convey because of the filters clogging, these may cause damage to the blowers.
