How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Remove the battery and wear a dust mask when working around fine dust.
- 1. Inspect gaskets: Check the rubber gasket around the container opening and lid. Look for cuts, flattening, or missing sections. Replace if damaged.
- 2. Check hose seals: Inspect the O-rings on the Festool hose connector. Replace worn or cracked O-rings.
- 3. Verify bag installation: Ensure the filter bag collar is fully seated on the inlet stub and not folded or twisted.
- 4. Examine container for cracks: Look for hairline cracks in the plastic container or lid. Replace the container if structural damage is found.
