I have an AC400 Record Power air filter - bought in December 2022. I hadn't been in the workshop for a few weeks due to the cold, and have found out that the air filter has stopped working. Have checked the fuses - internal and plug to see if there is a problem, But that hasn't solved it...

I have been very pleased so far with the Triton which I bought a few weeks ago. I used it quite happily to round off wood for a project I was doing with no problems whatsoever. And the height adjuster is brilliant for fine-tuning the height. But today when I came to use it for another project...
