DO’S AND DON’TS WITH FILTERS

Do’s

Don’ts

• Clean filter with automatic filter cleaning (close hose for a 3-5 cycles)

• Power cleaning: Remove hose, close inlet for 3-5 automatic filter cleaning cycles

• Use performance filters (PTFE) in order to have a longer lifetime of your tool, longer lifetime of the

filter and less blockage of the filter

• Filter sealing needs to be properly installed

• During filter change, clean up filter frame and sealing area

• Check filter condition before starting an application

• Mix dry and wet applications. Filter used for wet applications needs to be exchanged or dried before

using it for dry applications

• Manually cleaning the filter, it will be damaged -> a damaged or missing filter can lead to a broken

turbine since dust can enter (reduces lifetime of vacuum cleaner)

‒ Banging against the wall

‒ Cleaning with high-pressured air

‒ Use water jet / air pressure jet to clean the filter

‒ Use sharp things e.g. wrench etc. to clean the filter

• Use vacuum cleaner without a filter
