Vacuum emits an unusual chemical or plastic smell during first uses.

Safety first: If the smell is strong or accompanied by smoke, stop use and remove the battery.

• 1. Check airflow: Ensure the filter is clean and the canister, hose, and nozzle are free of obstructions.
• 2. Short test runs: Run the vacuum in a well-ventilated area for short intervals to allow new components to break in.
• 3. Monitor temperature: If the housing becomes excessively hot or the smell intensifies, stop use and inspect the motor.
• 4. Inspect for melting: Remove the canister and check for any melted plastic near the motor inlet.
• 5. Service if needed: If odor persists after several uses or is accompanied by performance issues, have the motor assembly inspected or replaced.
