Possible Causes

Loose battery fit, Worn battery contacts, Faulty trigger switch, Cracked solder joints on PCB

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Remove the battery before inspecting contacts.

  • 1. Check battery fit: Insert the battery and gently shake the vacuum. If power cuts out, the contacts may be loose.
  • 2. Clean contacts: Wipe the battery and vacuum contacts with a dry cloth. Ensure there is no debris preventing full insertion.
  • 3. Test trigger: Hold the trigger firmly and move the vacuum in different orientations. If it cuts out when the handle is moved, the trigger switch may be faulty.
  • 4. Internal inspection (advanced): Open the handle and main body to inspect for cracked solder joints on the PCB, especially around high-current connectors. Resolder or replace the PCB as needed.
