How to Fix / Troubleshooting

  • Empty container: Open the dust container and empty it before it reaches maximum fill level.
  • Inspect gaskets: Check the lid and filter gaskets for tears, flattening, or missing sections. Replace if damaged.
  • Check filter installation: Ensure the filter is fully inserted and locked into its holder.
  • Clean sealing surfaces: Wipe dust from the gasket and mating surfaces to ensure a tight seal.
