How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Remove the battery before working near the trigger.

  • Clean around trigger: Use a soft brush or compressed air to remove dust and debris from the trigger gap.
  • Check for cracks: Inspect the trigger for visible cracks or looseness.
  • Operate trigger repeatedly: With the battery removed, pull and release the trigger multiple times to free any sticking.

If the vacuum only runs when the trigger is held at an odd angle, the internal trigger components are worn and the trigger assembly or microswitch should be replaced by a technician.
