Vacuum emits a burning smell or visible smoke during use

Safety first: Immediately switch OFF the vacuum and remove the battery. Do not continue to operate the unit.

• Inspect brush head: Check for jammed brush roll or foreign objects that could stall the motor.
• Check wiring: Open the nozzle and handle to inspect for melted insulation or burnt connectors.
• Assess motor: If the smell comes from the main motor area and there is discoloration or soot, the motor is likely burnt and must be replaced.
• Do not reuse until repaired: Operating a vacuum that has emitted smoke is a fire risk. Replace damaged components or have the unit serviced professionally.
