FILTER MAINTENANCE

iQ426HEPA™ Dual Filter System
The dual filter system of the iQ426HEPA uses both an IQ Durabond filter and a HEPA filter.
CLEANING THE DURABOND FILTER
In most operations cleaning the dura bond filter by spinning the filter 3-5 times is only necessary before emptying the dust collection tub. However, there may be some dust collection operations that require turning the machine off and on many times before the tub is full.
In this case, it may prove beneficial to spin the dura bond filter periodically to maintain a higher airflow for the best dust collection.
Note: the machine must be turned off before spinning or cleaning the filter.

REPLACING THE IQ DURABOND FILTER
Spin the filter knob 5 times to ensure all dust is released. While the dust settles, remove the 5 screws around the filter cover. Remove filter cover and filter. Put in a new filter and cover with a filter cover. The cover should be attached in the same position as in the image below. Replace the 5 screws.
NOTE: Durabond filter should be changed once a year.

REPLACING THE HEPA FILTER
When the HEPA filter light turns red, it is time to change the filter. To change the filter, first, remove the dust extractor from the cart by releasing the lever on the left side of the cart.

DUST DISPOSAL
