FM-26: Dust collection remains weak with holes aligned

Dust pickup is poor even with the disc and pad holes aligned and a collector attached.

• Bag is full or internal spring/filter is clogged
• Disc, pad, skirt, or port passage is blocked
• Vacuum airflow is inadequate
• Skirt or fixed port is damaged

1. Visible pickup improves and dust moves into the attached collector.

1. Remove the battery, empty the bag, depress its internal spring, and tap it clean.
2. Clear all eight disc and pad holes, the skirt path, and the dust port without liquids.
3. Test with the correct locked bag or a known-good compatible vacuum at the port.
4. If pickup stays weak, route the proven skirt, port, or internal dust path for repair.
