before cleaning filter.
The only maintenance your Power
Canister requires is emptying the dust
container as required and periodically
cleaning the filter.
To clean the filter:
1) Remove the dirt container by unlatch-
ing the latches located on each side of
the dirt container.
2) Place a plastic grocery bag over the
dacron/cloth filter and around the
cyclonic deflector that surrounds the filter.
3) Using the plastic bag as hand protec-
tion from dirt particles, shake the filter to
cause any particles adhering to the filter
to fall into the bag. (Fig. 4-1)
4) Replace the dirt container and secure
latches.
