This filter protects the motor and stops small particles from
escaping to the outside of the power unit wihout the need to
replace it. The filter cleans itself by moving up when the power
unit starts, and dropping down when the unit is turned off.
Under normal use, there is no need to maintenance this filter.
It is possible to remove it to inspect the motor foam filter, or
to replace it if ever it has been damaged (by sharp debris, for
example).
