A cordless bolt cutter lets you work anywhere without relying on an external electrical power source. If your cordless bolt cutter isn’t performing quite as expected, a few simple checks may be all that’s needed. Here are some quick troubleshooting tips to help keep your tool performing at its best.
Quick check: Tool isn’t turning on
Start by checking the battery charge. If the battery is low or fully discharged, recharge it before trying again. It’s also worth checking that the battery is correctly fitted and securely connected to the tool.
Quick check: Battery isn’t lasting as long
If you notice a shorter runtime than usual, make sure the battery has been fully charged before use. Battery performance can naturally reduce over time, so if the battery is older, check it for signs of wear or damage and replace it if required.
Quick check: Cutting performance has changed
If cuts aren’t as clean or efficient as usual, check the condition of the blade on your cordless bolt cutter. Regular use can gradually wear cutting components, and replacing a worn blade can help restore cutting performance. It’s also a good idea to check cutting blades for any looseness and tighten as required.
Quick check: More sparks than usual
Certain cordless bolt cutters should produce little to no sparks while cutting. If you notice more sparks than usual, allow the tool to cool and carry out a quick inspection before continuing. Check for signs of wear or overheating and replace any worn components where required.
