Vacuum shuts off intermittently when moving the handle or rotating the wand

Safety first: Remove the battery before manipulating joints or connectors.

• Check battery fit: Insert the battery and ensure it clicks firmly. Wiggle it gently; if power cuts in and out, the contacts or latch may be worn.
• Test movement: With the vacuum running (battery installed), gently move the handle and wand through their full range while listening for power loss. Then remove the battery before further work.
• Inspect connectors: Check all plug-in joints (handle-to-body, body-to-tube, tube-to-nozzle) for looseness or visible damage.
• Secure or replace: If a particular joint causes cutouts, the connector or internal wiring in that section likely needs replacement. Often the entire tube or handle assembly is replaced.
• Avoid strain: Until repaired, avoid twisting or bending the vacuum sharply, as this can worsen the break.
