Air leak normal? I just got my duster the other day and when testing it out noticed quite a bit of air leaking between the 2 pieces here: Is this normal or do I have a bad seal/etc in it?

Turbine spins very fast, I hope people don't try to block it as it keeps things within operating temps. Duster already gets quite warm with extended use. Also as of note the fine tool attachment adapter has a 'blow hole'. I wanted to block it at first, but it regulates the pressure out of the tiny nozzle so it doesn't get overloaded. Don't try to block that either, it blows plenty strong without covering it up.

I've had mine for months, the gasket seems fine. What can happen is that air escapes if the seal on the compressor, for lack of a better term, is not seated properly. I run the bead that contacts the container under the tap to moisten it. This insures a proper seal with no air escaping. As an aside, gaskets can be hsd very inexpensively.

Maybe you have a clog in the hose or maybe you should check the filter (there is a hidden filter I was unaware of in the bottom of the vacuum, to locate it look at the front of your vacuum just under the dust bin you will see a vented area, look for a clip to open the vent and the filter is right there. Otherwise I would say maybe you have a hole in your hose? Hope this helps. Good luck.

When I got mine I opened it slowly and carefully and could hear the vacuum seal break. So it was sealed and I didn't have a issue using it.

I know what the problem is. I had the same thing happen to me. Here are the instructions for attaching the handle. The 7000 model has a slight variation in the instructions, which someway preventso the handle from laying down flat for low position. I learned this the hard way. The instructions read: 1) Remove handle screw. 2) Insert handle into top of dust cover with handle switch facing fforward (Model 7000 only). 3) Align small hole on handle with screw hole in dust cover. Insert screw and tighten securely (All models). After that just turn cord hook upward and wrap cord between the hooks. To quick release cord, turn upper hook downward. Hope this helps. This sweeper is great, and I hope you get a manual soon because it has a fuse to replace sometime, and a secondary filter that needs cleaned after every third dust bag replacement.

That is a good thing. PB2 in the bag arrives as a vacuum packed powder, when you cut the bag open the powder should be loose and dry. If it was NOT hard when you received it then that would mean the bag had an air leak in it.

yes for some reason the air is coming out by the trigger and no air is coming out of the tip, anyone else have this problem or know how to fix it?

Sorry, can't help you there. I've never had a leaking problem with my MaxExtract. Maybe the seals have dirt around them not allowing the device to seat smoothly into the track? Are the seals dried out? If so; try a thin layer of any brand extra virgin olive oil on them. Be sure to let it set a while before gently rubbing it off, though. If the seals are too bad, then look in your manual and see about replacing them.

I certainly haven't seen (or heard) any evidence of air leaking out. It seems to form a nice tight seal when you put the horn on to the can. If it does leak, and I truly don't think it does, it is a very, very slow one.

It may restrict the airflow, the problem is: it gets clogged with dust quite fast and you need to keep an eye on it, I usually clean it like once a week and I take the filters out when I'm playing a heavy game because you need a lot of airflow during that time.

I am not sure if it's normal or not but I have never had any issues with it. I just make sure to set it in the space, wiggle it around to make sure it's in there properly and then go about my cleaning. It's never come out, leaked, or done anything else I would be concerned with.

The disclaimer from the company states that it may afffect the dust seal. However when I installed it it didn't seam to affect the seal at all, but I didn't test that theroy out ether.

Did you put the fine film of oil on the lid? I originally missed that on my AA. I have only gotten a slight steam leak once or twice, but it seemed to stop when I got up to pressure. Sorry I can't help more.

I believe the issue with ESD is if there's a possibility of close contact with the part and the device. As long as you don't touch the nozzles to the part, you should be fine. The duster is plenty powerful with the narrow nozzle attachment to use sufficiently far a way.

I have been having the same issue with mine, the manual suggests the use of adhesive tape to remove dust from the adhesive. I haven't tried it yet, will let you know what works, looking forward to replies on this post for other innovative ideas on cleaning...

In my experience some light oil is normal around the breather. If its dripping or puddling around it, then you might have a problem. I hope this helps.
