WARNING

Fine dry powders like cement, gyprock dust, talcum powder or materials of similar consistency can cause clogging of filter with resulting overheating of the machine and possible motor burn outs.

We suggest for handling materials of this type a Microweb filter, used in conjunction with a suitable Aussie Eco-Clean paper bag vacuum cleaner insert, should be used. This will help to protect your machine. Please note, overheating caused by handling fine dust as described above is not covered by your machine’s warranty.
