Possible Causes

Overfull dust bin, Blocked cyclone, Severely clogged filters

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Remove the battery before cleaning.

  • Empty bin completely: Do not fill beyond the MAX line. Tap the bin and cyclone to remove compacted dust.
  • Clean filters thoroughly: Wash or replace the pre-motor filter and tap out the post-motor filter.
  • Check for blockages: Inspect wand, floorhead, and bin inlet for obstructions.
  • Test without tools: Run the handheld unit alone. If pulsing stops, the blockage was in the tools or wand.
