How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Remove the battery before working on the handle.

  • Clean around button: Use a dry brush or compressed air to remove dust around the power button.
  • Check operation: Press the button repeatedly to see if it regains normal click and latch behavior.
  • Firmware behavior: Some Sencor models are designed to run only while the trigger is held; verify with the user manual.
  • Internal repair: If the button should latch but does not, the switch or latch circuit on the PCB may need replacement by a technician.
