Vacuum will not turn on unless the battery is held or wiggled in a certain position.

Safety first: Remove the battery before attempting to adjust contacts.

• 1. Clean battery slot: Use compressed air or a soft brush to remove dust and debris from the battery rails and contacts.
• 2. Inspect contacts: Look for bent, recessed, or burned contacts inside the vacuum’s battery interface. Contacts should be springy and protrude evenly.
• 3. Gently adjust contacts: Using a non-conductive tool, carefully lift any flattened contacts slightly to improve pressure on the battery terminals.
• 4. Check battery latches: Ensure the battery clicks firmly into place. If the latch is worn or cracked, replace the battery housing or latch mechanism.
• 5. Test with multiple batteries: If the issue occurs with all packs, the tool’s contact assembly is at fault and should be replaced.
