Vacuum spits out dust from the exhaust or around the dust container area.

Safety first: Remove the battery before opening the filter or dust container compartments.

• Step 1 – Check filter installation: Ensure the pre-motor and HEPA filters are present and oriented correctly according to the arrows or markings.
• Step 2 – Inspect filter frames: Look for cracks or warping in the plastic frames that hold the filters. Replace if damaged.
• Step 3 – Examine dust container: Check for cracks or gaps in the container body and lid. Replace the container if it is damaged.
• Step 4 – Inspect seals: Verify that all rubber gaskets are in place and not torn. Replace worn seals.
• Step 5 – Avoid overfilling: Do not fill the dust container beyond the MAX line, as this can force dust past the filters.
