The filters included are made of high quality materials designed to stop small dust particles. The non- woven filter bag should be used for dry pick-up only. A dry non-wo- ven filter bag is necessary to pick up dust. If the non-woven filter bag is wet, it will clog quickly and be very difficult to clean. Handle the filter carefully when removing it for cleaning and replacing it. Check the filters for tears or small holes, a small hole can let dust pass through and out of the filter. Do not use a filter with holes or tears in it; replace it immediately.
