Possible Causes

Using coarse filter instead of fine/HEPA, Damaged filter media, Missing pre-filter, Filter installed incorrectly

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Remove the battery and wear respiratory protection when handling filters.

  • Verify filter type: Check that you are using the correct Hilti filter (e.g., fine dust or HEPA) for the application.
  • Inspect filter for damage: Look for holes, tears, or separated pleats. Replace damaged filters immediately.
  • Install pre-filter: If your model supports a pre-filter or fleece bag, use it to protect the main filter and improve performance.
  • Seal check: Ensure the filter frame seals tightly against its housing.
