Troubleshooting: Multi Tool Will Not Start
  1. Check the Switch Position

    If the battery was fitted while the switch was in the ON position, the tool will not start.

    • Switch the tool OFF, then insert the battery, and turn the tool ON.
  2. Test with Another Battery

    Try a fully charged battery in the tool to confirm whether the issue is with the battery or the tool.

  3. Inspect Battery Contacts

    Examine the contacts on both the tool and the battery.

    • Ensure they are clean and free from debris or corrosion, as dirty contacts can block power flow.
  4. Consider Overheating

    If the tool has been used for heavy applications or extended periods, the motor may have overheated.

    • Allow the tool to cool down before restarting.
  5. Check Accessory Installation

    If an accessory (such as a cutting blade or sanding pad) is attached, make sure it is installed correctly and not obstructing the tool’s operation.
