Vacuum emits a burning smell or visible smoke from the nozzle or main body during use.

Safety: Immediately switch off the vacuum and remove the battery. Move the unit away from flammable materials. Do not continue to use until fully inspected.

• 1. Identify source: Smell near the nozzle, wand, and main body to determine where the odor is strongest (do this only after cooling).
• 2. Inspect nozzle: Remove the brush roll and check for melted plastic, burnt hair, or jammed objects. Replace the brush roll or nozzle if there is visible heat damage.
• 3. Check wiring: Open the nozzle and wand (if serviceable) to inspect wiring for melted insulation or burn marks. Replace damaged harnesses.
• 4. Inspect main motor: Open the motor housing and look for discoloration, soot, or melted components. A strong burnt smell from the motor indicates failure.
• 5. Replace damaged components: Replace the main motor assembly, nozzle motor, or wiring harness as needed. Do not attempt to repair burnt motors.

Because of fire risk, if you are unsure of the source of the burning smell, have the vacuum inspected by a qualified technician.
