Professional's Guide to Filter Selection

Now you have a choice of two distinctly different filters designed to do distinctly different jobs with your 3M Service Vacuum Cleaner. Make a professional decision on which filter meets your in-house or client clean-up requirements.

• Type I Filter for extremely fine particles
• Type 2 Filter for toners and dust

The two filters described in this “Professional’s Guide to Filter Selection” are completely disposable. Replacements are easy and clean.

Type 1 Filter, Fine Particle

A thinner, more concentrated weave (HEPA media) for trapping extremely fine particles to 0.3 microns. Typical applications are color laser printers, color copiers and highly sensitive equipment.

Type 2 Filter, Toner/Dust

Specifically designed for trapping unwanted toner from copiers and laser printers. Also ideal for cleaning data processing equipment.
