My Cordless Blower Vac is losing power

Overview

If your Cordless Blower Vac is losing suction or blowing power, the issue is usually caused by a low battery charge or a blockage in the air path. Before assuming a fault, it is important to carry out a few simple checks to restore normal performance.

This guide explains how to check the battery, identify blockages, and safely clear any obstructions from the machine.

Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Check the Battery Charge

• Ensure the battery is fully charged before use.
• If performance drops quickly, remove the battery and recharge it completely.
• Confirm the battery is securely inserted and locked into place.

Step 2: Check for Blockages

• Inspect the suction and blower tube for any visible debris.
• Check the collection bag (if fitted) for clogging or overfilling.
• Remove any leaves, dust, or obstructions that may restrict airflow.

Step 3: Clear Blockages Safely Using the Lever Method

⚠️ Important Safety Note:
 Always wear protective gloves and safety goggles before carrying out any blockage clearing.

To clear using the machine:

• Remove the collection bag (required for this process).
• Set the machine to maximum speed (setting 5).
• Locate the black lever on the left side of the unit.
• Move the lever back and forth repeatedly to help dislodge the blockage.
• Allow the machine to clear through airflow.

Step 4: Manual Blockage Removal (If Required)

⚠️ Safety First: Always remove the battery before touching internal parts.

• Switch off the machine completely.
• Remove the battery to ensure it cannot power on.
• Carefully check inside the tube and housing for debris.
• Remove any blockage by hand using gloves.

Step 5: Reassemble and Test

• Refit the collection bag if needed.
• Reinsert the battery securely until it clicks into place.
• Switch the machine on and test at a lower speed first.
• Gradually increase to maximum setting (5) to confirm normal operation.
