Troubleshooting
Extractor does not turn on
Ensure the power source is connected (if applicable for certain functions). Check if the battery on a compatible cordless tool is charged, as the extractor may rely on tool power for some operations. Verify Bluetooth connection if using auto-start. If using mains power for charging or specific functions, check the power adapter.
No suction or weak suction
Check that the dust box is properly inserted and not full. Inspect the suction hose for any kinks or blockages. Ensure the filter is clean and not clogged; clean or replace if necessary. Verify that the lid is securely closed.
Bluetooth auto-start not working
Confirm that both the extractor and the power tool are equipped with Bluetooth functionality and are within range. Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on both devices and that they are correctly paired. Refer to the user manuals for both the extractor and the tool for pairing instructions.
Dust escaping from the unit
Check that the dust box is securely latched and that the main lid of the extractor is properly closed. Ensure the filter is correctly installed and that there are no tears or damage to the filter or dust box seal.
