What is the warranty period?

Are there any adapters needed for different vacuum hose sizes?

How do I improve the seal between the cyclone and the collection container?
Ensure the seal ring is properly in place. If the seal isn't tight enough, consider using weather stripping or another appropriate sealant to improve the seal.
Troubleshooting
Vacuum suction is weak.
Check the dust collector and vacuum hose for any blockages. Ensure the cyclone unit is properly sealed to the collection container. Clean or replace the vacuum filter.
Dust is escaping into the air.
Check all hose connections and seals for leaks. Ensure the lid of the dust collector is properly sealed. Also, check for a faulty filter and replace if necessary.
The unit is difficult to move.
Ensure the caster wheels are properly attached and functioning. Check for any obstructions hindering movement.
The dust collector is not separating debris effectively.
Ensure the vacuum is powerful enough to create a good airflow. Check for any cracks or holes in the cyclone unit.
