When the bag needs servicing (empty, clean)...do you empty and reattach it or do you wash it......or do you replace with a new one. The 1 micron on my unit is due. Thanks, Frank
Never wash a dust collection bag. just empty it.
By the way make sure you wear a dust mask when emptying. That fine dust is a killer. Do it outdoors.
When it leaves dust around, you either have a poor seal around the rim, or the particle size is less than your 1 micron. No guarantee on those bags and particle size either. I don't imagine they ever need to be replaced unless you want to get finer bags.
Here's some good info on fabric.
