Suction is weak even though the motor sounds normal

Safety first: Remove the battery before opening the container or filter compartment.

• 1. Inspect hose: Detach the Festool hose and look through it against light. Remove clogs using a flexible rod or compressed air from the opposite end.
• 2. Replace filter bag: Open the container and check the Festool filter bag. If more than 2/3 full or collapsed, replace it.
• 3. Clean or replace main filter: Remove the main filter cartridge or flat filter. Tap it gently outdoors or replace if heavily loaded or damaged.
• 4. Check seals: Inspect the container gasket and hose connection O-rings for damage or misalignment. Replace worn seals to restore suction.
