The VR mills are equipped with an air lter (P/N 59-9088) for the motor hous-
ing. The recommended replacement interval is monthly, or sooner depending
on the machining environment.
The air lter is located on the rear of the head cover. To remove the air lter,
simply pull up on the lter; the lter will slide upward out of its bracket. To
replace the lter, slide in the new air lter, oriented properly to lter air into the
motor housing. Filter air-ow direction is determined by a sticker on the re-
placement lter.
