Operating Considerations
These filters are designed for dry dust collection only. Do not use these filters for wet vacuuming or collecting liquids, as this can damage the filter and the dust collector.
Regularly check the filter for signs of fullness or damage. A full filter will reduce the suction power of your dust collector.
