What to do if the air flow rate is low on my Stihl SE 133 ME?
- A
  April RussellAug 16, 2025
  If the air flow rate is less than 20 m/s, the air velocity monitoring LED in the suction hose lights up and a succession of short beeps is heard on your Stihl Vacuum Cleaner, first, ensure that the diameter of the suction hose is correctly set. Then, check if the filter bag or the container is full and replace the filter bag or empty the container. Also, a dirty filter may cause this problem, so clean or replace the filter. Furthermore, inspect the suction hose, the hand tube, or the accessory for any blockages and clean them if necessary. Finally, verify the seal between the top part and the container is clean and undamaged; clean the seal or ask a STIHL authorized dealer to replace it if needed.

  If your Stihl Vacuum Cleaner is not starting when switched on, make sure the connecting cord is plugged in. Check and replace the fuse of the building service connection or the earth-leakage circuit breaker if it has tripped. Also, empty the container if it is full, as the float switch may have activated. Finally, inspect the float switch itself to ensure it is working correctly.

  Nathan HoffmanAug 31, 2025
  If your Stihl Vacuum Cleaner switches off during operation, it could be due to several reasons. First, ensure the connecting cord is properly plugged into the socket. Check the fuse of the building service connection or the earth-leakage circuit breaker and replace it if tripped. It's also possible that the fuse rating of the socket is too low, so try plugging the cord into a socket with the correct fuse rating. The container might be full, causing the float switch to operate; empty the container in this case. Lastly, a dirty cooling air filter can cause overheating; clean or replace the filter and allow the vacuum cleaner to cool for 5 minutes.
