FM-06: POWER CUTS OUT WHEN THE TOOL OR BATTERY IS MOVED
movement-dependent power cutout.
Diagnostic overview
movement-dependent power cutout.
Likely Root Causes
- Dry contamination, wear, or damage at the battery contacts
- Battery shell or latches allow electrical movement despite physical retention
- Tool contact block or internal wiring is loose
- Trigger, direction switch, brush, or motor connection is intermittent
Quick Checks
- Ordinary handling no longer interrupts power, or the internal intermittent path is conclusively routed to service.
Repair Preview
- Repeat with a known-good compatible battery to separate a pack-side intermittent condition from the tool-side path.
- With the chuck empty, make one brief no-load test while changing only normal hand orientation; do not flex, strike, shim, or hold the pack in place.
- If a proven battery still causes cutout with ordinary movement, remove it and route the contact block, wiring, switch, brush, or motor path to service.
- Release the trigger and remove the battery before inspecting the contacts, latches, stem, and tool rail path for heat, burning, looseness, or impact damage.
- Dry-clean the accessible contacts and latch surfaces, then install the original pack until the release latch pass an unpowered pull test.
