Milwaukee Tool is building upon its M12 Universal HAMMERVAC Dust Extractor and M18 Dedicated HAMMERVAC designs with an updated dust box. Both HAMMERVAC units utilize a replaceable HEPA filter for efficient debris filtration. An updated dust box will allow users to easily clean the filter with the press of a button, making these tools OSHA-compliant solutions through Table 1 Requirements.
Per HEPA standards, the certified HEPA filter removes 99.97 percent of particles greater than 0.3 µm. However, the M12 Universal HAMMERVAC and M18 Dedicated HAMMERVAC feature unique replaceable filters so users can replace the filter independently of the dust box to cost-effectively maintain suction efficiency. By pressing a button twice on the side of the unit this filter cleans itself every time users empty the dust box.
