Vacuum leaves fine dust inside the motor compartment or around filter seals

Safety: Remove the battery before opening the motor or filter compartments.

• 1. Inspect pre-motor filter: Remove and check for tears or holes. Replace if damaged.
• 2. Check filter frame and gasket: Ensure the filter frame is not cracked and that any rubber gasket is intact.
• 3. Reassemble carefully: Make sure the cyclone and filter are seated correctly and that all latches are fully engaged.

Persistent internal dust indicates a need to replace the filter assembly or gaskets.
