Can you use this filter when vacuuming up pine shavings, like when cleaning a chicken coop?

The filter protects the vacuum motor. Yes you can use this filter to vacuum a chicken coop.

It is not recommended to use the vacuum without the filter. I don't know the answers to the rest of your questions, you'll need to look it up with Dewalt.

just pour it in, it will run through the filter anyway - keep in mind it will cause a lot of scum to collect/ coagulate on the surface. I use my shop vac to suck this stuff out off the surface - it takes awhile to get it all though. and it is a PIA - but it works

I'm not aware of any filtering options, If you're cutting pressure treated or pine boards, it's gonna clog alot, If you're cutting hardwoods with an 80 tooth or better blade, you'll be fine. Tom

Definitely. I use a Walmart product called Grime Busters. They are cheap & wetter. I have very soft old pine floors also & just use a dry Swiffer cloth on them.

Not if you use the pleated filter. Yes if you don't put that critical part in. Has the best vacuum and forward pressure of any machine I ever used.

It works fine, but to do the job properly, we use a Swiffer. The vacuum will clean up just fine, but to remove dirt, etc., the Swiffer is designed to do that better.

I don't have a pine tree and live in a very dry climate but it does pick up small twigs from a blue palo verde tree and those twigs are larger and heavier than reasonably dry pine needles. As with any blower-vac, you can clog it if you try to pick up a huge pile of anything. Just work from the edges and it should do fine. I'm still amazed at how much better it is than my previous one from a different manufacturer.

The carbon filter on the front of the filters collect a lot of dust. I vacuum it clean once in a while. For your question, I would say yes.

You could, but I'd be very careful because there is NO air filter. That would not be a good addition to this blower/vac. It doesn't have a filter because the area that the filter would be in is also the area that grinds up the leaves in the vacuum mode. An air filter would also slow down the blower because there would be a restrictive filter in the way of the air input to the blower. It is a leaf Blower/vac after all. It works great for that purpose.

I don't think so, it's disposable. I vacuumed the surface of my machine but not the filter

there are multiple filters available, I use the better grade "Hepa" filter. I get very very little dust when using it to suck concrete dust while grinding / cutting concrete. This dust is very fine and a significant challenge for the unit. When the filter starts to get heavily clogged, then I do see some dust and know it's time to clean out the filter

Yes just keep in mind to use the filterbecause when used in a enclosed space it will fogg up in about 10 min and you don't want the product being sucked into the motor.

The item pictured with your question is for the vacuum bags and NOT THE HEPA FILTER. The heap filter for the Miele vacuum cleaner is Miele Active HEPA Filter SF-AH 30. Hope this helps.

I don't think so. In the meantime I bought a new Dustbuster with the sponge filter. Much simpler to clean!

So long as you don't vacuum damp material that could permanently attach itself to the filter, you should be able to clean and re-use it for a time period comparable to any competitively priced product. After vacuuming drywall dust, I noticed a significant loss of vacuum performance. I removed the filter and cleaned it with compressed air. That solved the problem. I normally use the FB for dog hair and I've had no such performance problem, but I plan to clean the filter from time-to-time anyway. I prefer this unit over my heavier Hoover that has brushes and a BAG!!

Yes, but why would you want to fill your house vacuum with saw dust. Small shop vacs are very affordable.
