Vacuum intermittently loses suction when the hose is twisted or rotated.

Safety first: Remove the battery before manipulating the hose.

• 1. Shake out debris: Detach the hose and shake it vigorously to dislodge any loose obstructions.
• 2. Flex-test hose: While blowing air through the hose (by mouth or low-pressure air), bend it in different directions to feel for restriction.
• 3. Inspect swivel joint: Check the hose-to-tool and hose-to-nozzle joints for internal obstructions.
• 4. Replace hose: If the hose collapses internally or shows signs of delamination, replace it with a new Milwaukee-compatible hose.
