cleaning HEPA filter (CT 26)

[dicktill]

I had an "oops" with my CT 26: didn't have the bag properly seated, and managed to get a lot of sawdust outside of the bag and plugging up the HEPA filter. I was successful in blowing out most of it out of the filter, but wonder if I should try rinsing out with water. Opinions?

Thanks, Dick

Do not use water!  That ruins the HEPA filter.  Generally speaking you only need to tap the dust out of the filter.  Also, do not use high pressure compressed air.  If you do use compressed air only use low pressure.
