• Inspect fi lter for excessive debris or foreign material on top side of fi lter.
• Make sure all the saw attachment components are installed and working properly in the blade block.
• Check hoses for damage, cuts or holes that could cause a loss of vacuum pressure.
• Block the inlet with a fl at and rigid material.  Check for air leaks on the entire unit and repair as necessary.
• Make sure there is no debris build up in the saw blade block.
• Check the vacuum exhaust port for air fl ow.  Inspect the turbine drive belt if there is no or low air fl ow.
• Check that there are no missing bolts on the vacuum assembly.

Unusual or High Pitched Noises

• Block the inlet with a fl at and rigid material.  Check for air leaks on the entire unit and repair as necessary.
