This week my shop vac (Metabo - only a year old) has started to produce a slight burning smell from the from the exhausted air when switched on. Once the vacuum is switched off the burning smell disappears instantaneously, and so attempts at locating the source by immediately opening the vac up after use haven’t discovered anything.
I appreciate the exhaust system moves the air through rapidly, but, if the motor was the culprit, I would have expected to find the smell still present near the motor straight after powering down.
Does anybody have any advice or to potential causes or remedies? I’ve cleaned all the filters, but that doesn’t seem to have made much of a difference.
Thanks,
