Use and Care Manual

Model W1844 (For Machines Mfd. Since 5/17)
MAINTENANCE
Always empty the collection bag on a regular basis.
Emptying the collection bag allows the machine to
operate at a much higher level of efficiency. Always wear
the appropriate respirator or dust mask and safety glasses
when emptying the collection bag. Small dust particles
can escape the bag during emptying, causing them to
become airborne and easily inhaled. This microscopic
airborne dust is unsafe to breathe and can cause serious
health problems.
To clean the canister filter on the Model W1844, move the
canister cleaning handle back and forth to free trapped
dust particles from the filter pleats (see Figure 17). The
particles will fall into the collection bag.
Cleaning Canister Filter
NOTICE
The use of compressed air or liquids to clean the
canister filter will damage the filtration pleats of the
filter. Use ONLY the cleaning handle or, if necessary,
a soft brush to clean the inside of the canister filter.
