Troubleshooting
Dust Deputy not separating well. (Only a tiny amount of dust
should reach the vacuum.)
Low air volume.
Material swirls in cyclone and won’t drop down into drum.
Air leak. Check cyclone flange / drum lid / barrel. Even
small leaks will affect performance.
Vacuum filter clogged. Blockage in hose.
Air leak in bottom of cyclone / drum lid or dust drum.
Large, bulkier material might swirl. Restart or temporarily
cut off air flow to drop material down.
