How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Remove the battery before inspecting the trigger area.

  • Check trigger movement: Squeeze the trigger and feel for a distinct click. If it feels mushy or stuck, debris may be lodged around it.
  • Clean around trigger: Use a dry brush or compressed air to remove dust from the trigger gap. Do not spray liquids into the switch.
  • Check for physical damage: Inspect the plastic trigger for cracks or broken pivots.

If E13 persists and the trigger does not reliably click, the internal microswitch or trigger assembly must be replaced. This requires opening the handle and is best performed by a service technician.
