Safety: Remove the battery before adjusting the dust container.

• Check bin fit: Remove and reattach the dust container, ensuring it clicks firmly into place and that all latches engage.
• Inspect seals: Examine the rubber gasket around the bin connection for tears, deformation, or missing sections. Replace if damaged.
• Look for cracks: Inspect the Parkside dust container for hairline cracks, especially around the mounting points. Replace the bin if cracked.
• Sensor check: Locate the bin presence sensor (often a small switch or magnet/reed pair). Ensure it is not obstructed and that the actuator moves freely.
• Replace bin or sensor: If the sensor does not change state when the bin is attached, replace the sensor or the entire bin assembly.
