Unusual burning or electrical smell when the vacuum is running.

Safety first: Stop using the vacuum immediately, switch OFF, and remove the battery. Do not continue to run a unit that smells of burning.

• Inspect brush roll: Check for hair or fibres melted onto the brush or end caps. Clean thoroughly.
• Check for visible damage: Look for scorch marks around the nozzle, battery contacts, and vents.
• Allow to cool: Let the unit cool completely before any further testing.

If the smell appears to come from the main body or persists after cleaning the brush, the motor or internal wiring may be overheating. Do not use the vacuum until it has been inspected and repaired by a qualified technician.
