Hose kinks easily and restricts airflow during use.

Safety first: Remove the battery before handling the hose near the inlet.

• 1. Straighten hose: Lay the hose out straight in a warm area to relax kinks.
• 2. Inspect for thin spots: Run your hand along the hose to feel for soft or collapsed sections.
• 3. Avoid tight bends: During use, keep the hose in gentle curves rather than sharp bends.
• 4. Replace hose: If the hose continues to kink or collapse, replace it with a new Milwaukee-compatible flexible hose.
