How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Remove the battery. Do not use the vacuum if the housing is severely cracked near electrical components.
- 1. Assess severity: Determine if the crack affects structural integrity or exposes internal components.
- 2. Stop-gap repair: For minor, non-structural cracks, you may use high-strength epoxy as a temporary fix, avoiding any moving or hot parts.
- 3. Replace housing: For cracks near the battery mount, handle, or motor housing, replace the affected housing half or shell with genuine Milwaukee parts.
- 4. Avoid further stress: Use the designated handle and avoid dropping or overloading the tool.
