Safety: Unplug the unit before working on the handle.

  • Open handle housing: Remove screws and carefully separate the handle halves.
  • Inspect trigger parts: Check the plastic trigger lever, pivot pins, and any linkage rods. Replace broken or cracked parts.
  • Check return spring: Ensure the spring is present and correctly hooked. Replace if stretched or missing.
