Possible Causes

Clogged filter increasing load, Blocked hose or nozzle, Worn motor drawing extra current, Aged battery with low capacity

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Remove the battery before clearing blockages.

  • Clean filters and hose: Ensure all filters are clean and the hose/nozzle are free of obstructions.
  • Use appropriate power setting: Use lower power modes when full suction is not required.
  • Test with another battery: Compare runtime with a newer or higher-capacity Hilti battery.
  • Service if needed: If runtime is short even with a good battery and clean filters, the motor may be inefficient or failing and should be inspected.
