  • Publication number: 20230233979
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to fine filter part kit (63), comprising a replacement fine filter part (15) that is adapted to be mounted to a fine filter section (12) for a dust extractor (1). The fine filter part kit (63) further comprises a filter lid (16) that is adapted to be mounted to a corresponding used fine filter part (15) to be replaced, already mounted to the fine filter section (12), and thereby seal an opening (28) of a particle containing space inside the used fine filter part (15) before removing the used fine filter part (15). In this way, release of particles contained in the particle containing space into the ambient air is prevented and a secure disposal of the used fine filter part (15) is enabled.
