Dust and debris escape from the vacuum exhaust, or fine dust appears around the unit during use.

Safety first: Turn off the vacuum and remove the battery. Avoid breathing dust near the exhaust.

• Check HEPA filter presence: Remove the exhaust cover and confirm the HEPA filter is installed.
• Inspect filter condition: Look for tears, holes, or deformation. Replace if damaged.
• Verify correct installation: Ensure the filter is oriented and seated as indicated by arrows or tabs.
• Inspect housings and seals: Check the filter frame and surrounding plastic for cracks. Replace the filter housing or dust bin if damaged.
