Maintenance Tips

• Disconnect Power First: Always turn the unit OFF and unplug it before cleaning or performing maintenance.

• Clean Dust After Each Use: Remove accumulated sawdust from the housing and components using a brush, cloth, or compressed air to maintain airflow efficiency.

• Empty Collection Bag Regularly: Do not allow the lower bag to fill beyond about ¾ capacity, as overfilling reduces suction and may clog the filter system.

• Maintain the Filter Canister: Clean the canister or upper filter bag periodically and inspect it for tears or wear to ensure proper dust filtration.

• Inspect Hoses & Connections: Check ducting, hose connections, and the “Y” inlet for blockages or leaks that can reduce airflow performance.

• Check Hardware & Power Cord: Before each use, ensure screws, clamps, and the power cord are secure and undamaged for safe operation.

• Motor Requires Minimal Maintenance: The motor uses sealed, lubricated bearings and typically does not require additional lubrication.
