Tristar
Cyclone or Filter Loading Under Heat
Vacuum loses suction after a few minutes of use, but suction returns after it is turned off for a short time.

Possible Causes
Fine dust clogging cyclone under warm airflow, Pre-motor filter loading quickly, Dust bin overfilled, High humidity causing dust to cake
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn OFF the vacuum and remove the battery pack before cleaning.
- Empty bin frequently: Do not allow the dust bin to fill beyond the indicated max line. Empty it more often when vacuuming fine dust.
- Clean cyclone and filters: Brush off the cyclone shroud and clean the pre-motor filter regularly. Allow filters to dry completely after washing.
- Use appropriate tool: When vacuuming large amounts of fine dust (e.g., drywall), use a different vacuum designed for that purpose to avoid rapid clogging.
- Monitor performance: If suction still drops quickly despite clean filters and bin, the cyclone assembly may be partially blocked internally and may need replacement.
