Possible Causes
Battery pack with high internal resistance, Poor contact at battery terminals, Defective battery cell group, Faulty undervoltage detection circuit on control PCB
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Remove the battery before inspecting contacts.
- 1. Test battery in another tool: Use the same Festool battery in another cordless tool under load. If the other tool also cuts out quickly, the battery is likely weak and should be replaced.
- 2. Clean and inspect contacts: Clean the battery and vacuum terminals with a dry cloth. Ensure the battery locks firmly into place without excessive play.
- 3. Try a different battery: Install a fully charged, known-good Festool battery. If E08 disappears, the original battery is at fault.
- 4. Check for heat: If the battery becomes unusually hot during short use, discontinue use; the pack may be failing internally.
- 5. Control board check: If multiple good batteries all trigger E08, the undervoltage sensing circuit on the control electronics may be defective. This requires replacement of the control electronics module by a service center.
