Possible Causes

Partially blocked hose causing motor strain, Poor electrical contact in handle switch, Undersized extension lead

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug and allow to cool.

  • Check hose for blockages: Clear any obstructions to reduce motor load.
  • Inspect handle switch wiring: Look for discoloured or loose terminals. Tighten or replace the handle switch assembly if overheating.
  • Avoid long thin extension leads: Use a heavy-duty extension rated for the machine's current draw.
