Vacuum loses suction only when using the wand; suction is normal when tools are attached directly to the main body

Safety first: Remove the battery and detach the wand.

Step-by-step checks:

• 1. Inspect inside wand: Look through the wand toward a light source. Use a flexible rod to gently push out any debris.
• 2. Check for cracks: Examine the wand along its length for cracks or dents that could cause leaks.
• 3. Inspect seals: Look at the rubber seals at each end of the wand. Replace the wand if seals are torn or missing.

When to stop: If suction is still poor only with the wand, replacing the wand is usually the most effective solution.
