The washable PET filter of the Makita VC2512L wet and dry vacuum cleaner is made of polyester fleece and can be washed with water. Here are the general steps for washing the filter:

- Remove the filter from the vacuum cleaner.
- Rinse the filter with cold or warm water to remove dust and debris.
- Gently shake the filter to remove excess water.
- Allow the filter to air dry completely before reinstalling it in the vacuum cleaner.

It is important to ensure the filter is completely dry before using the vacuum again to maintain its effectiveness and prevent any damage to the vacuum's motor.

Is the vacuum cleaner immediately compatible with the Makita SP6000J plunge saw without the need for an adapter?
