Possible Causes

Clogged cyclone holes, Damaged cyclone cone, Fine dust buildup in cyclone chamber, Incorrect bin assembly after cleaning

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Remove the battery before servicing the cyclone.

  • Disassemble cyclone: Remove the dust bin and separate the cyclone assembly according to the manual.
  • Clean cyclone ports: Use a soft brush to clean the small holes and channels in the cyclone. Do not use sharp tools.
  • Rinse if allowed: If the manual permits, rinse the cyclone with water and let it dry completely.
  • Reassemble correctly: Ensure all cyclone parts are reinstalled in the correct order and fully seated.

Restoring cyclone airflow will help maintain suction as the bin fills.
