when to get help
- stop for sharp or inaccessible debris, damaged parts, a burning smell or unusual battery heat. do not open the battery or electrical housing.
steps
- disconnect the charger
stop using the vacuum and let it cool. disconnect the vacuum from its charger before checking anything, and keep your finger away from the trigger.
- check the removable air path
detach the wand and cleaner head using their releases and look for a visible obstruction. keep clear of sharp debris. do not run the motor while inspecting openings or dismantle the motor housing.
- refit before trying again
clear only an obstruction you can reach safely, then secure every removed part. if the blockage remains or pulsing returns, ask for service instead of repeatedly restarting.
