Hackspace Vacuums and how to look after them

[Mark Wainwright]

Hi All, when using the hackspace vacuums please make sure your not hoovering up items that are near to or larger than the diameter of the hose. The laser hoover was bunged up today with the contents of the red bucket you could hear them rattling when moving the tube. After spending a few minutes manipulating and dancing with the tube I managed to get the contents out including pieces that were almost double the diameter of the tube.
please be mindful of looking after our hoovers as we've had to replace 3 in the last year. if it sounds dodgy stop using and investigate or report it.
