Possible Causes
Normal safety function misinterpreted as a fault, Faulty tilt sensor, Loose hose causing airflow loss, Blocked bypass vent
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug before inspecting hose and attachments.
- Check user manual: Confirm how the machine is designed to operate when using tools; some models reduce or alter operation when tilted.
- Inspect hose connection: Ensure the hose is fully inserted and latched when using tools.
- Clear bypass vents: Clean any vents that may be blocked when the machine is tilted.
- Service if abnormal behavior persists: If the machine shuts off completely and does not restart until upright, the tilt sensor may be faulty and require replacement.
