The hose of my vacuum cleaner is clogged, what can I do? Verified

Detach the hose and look through it to determine if it is actually clogged. If this is the case, you can take a long object such as a broomstick and carefully push it through the hose. This will generally remove any objects that are clogging the hose. If this didn't help you should contact the manufacturer.

It is possible that there is a twist or fold in the cord. Completely roll out the cord a few times and rewind it back into the device under guidance of your hands.

Can I use a regular vacuum cleaner to suck up ash? Verified

No, this is absolutely not possible. Ash that seems cooled may still be warm or even hot inside. A regular vacuum cleaner is not designed for this and it can cause a fire. Also, the filters of regular vacuum cleaners are not always suited for retaining extremely small particles such as ash. It can then reach the motor of the vacuum cleaner and cause damage.

My problem with this vacuum is it is producing a high pitch noise ,also when I use with my sander or other tools it is making a whirling noise . I have checked and cleaned hose and filters and new bag, it makes no difference. It seems that it's partially blocked , but it is not ! Any help appreciated. Thanks Mark

Dear Address! VC4210M vacuum cleaner. A new vacuum cleaner that has been used for half a minute makes a beeping sound, the heart rate "handle" symbol flashes red. Factory bag in place, empty. Fixing tabs fit. When restarted after switching off, it soon starts beeping, the red light flashes. The pipe is not blocked. We await your reply. Thank You! Sincerely! Ferenc Tóth
