the dust bag housing. Lift the plastic casing of the filter out() then open the
plastic casing to access the foam filter ().

push the filter cover switch to the right () and remove the filter cover (). The
filter is located on the reverse side of the filter cover (). Pull the filter off the
filter cover.
