Possible Causes

Fine dust loading filter quickly, Partial clog in cyclone, Overfilled dust bin, Moist debris causing filter matting

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Power off and disconnect from charger.

  • Step 1 – Empty bin frequently: Do not allow the dust bin to fill beyond the indicated max line. Empty it before each use in dusty environments.
  • Step 2 – Clean filters more often: Tap out filters after each use if you notice performance drop. Replace filters if they no longer clean effectively.
  • Step 3 – Check cyclone: Inspect the cyclone assembly for packed fine dust. If removable, disassemble and clean according to the manual, ensuring it is completely dry before reassembly.
  • Step 4 – Avoid wet debris: Do not vacuum damp or wet materials, as they rapidly clog filters and cyclones.
