Possible Causes

Sticky trigger mechanism, Failing electronic switch on PCB, Firmware behavior for soft-stop, Contaminated trigger contacts

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Remove the battery before cleaning the trigger area.

Step-by-step checks:

  • 1. Clean trigger: Use a dry cloth or compressed air to remove dust from around the trigger.
  • 2. Observe behavior: Some models are designed to run briefly after release to clear dust; compare with the user manual description.
  • 3. Check for sticking: Press and release the trigger repeatedly. If it physically sticks, the handle assembly may need replacement.

When to stop: If behavior is inconsistent or unsafe (e.g., vacuum will not stop), discontinue use and have the switch assembly serviced.
