How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Remove the battery before inspecting contacts.

  • Check battery fit: Ensure the battery locks firmly into place and does not wobble. Replace damaged latches.
  • Inspect contacts: Look for discoloration or pitting on the battery and tool contacts. Clean gently with a dry cloth.
  • Wiggle test: With the vacuum running (use caution), gently move the battery and handle. If movement causes shutoff, there is a connection or switch issue.
  • Service recommendation: Intermittent faults often require PCB or switch replacement by a technician.
