Need quick fix for a sticky switch

[PuffinStuff]

I have been using my Prodigy 801 for about 8 hours and love it. Just in the last hour my switch button sticks down about every other time I push it. Is this something that works out with use or is there something I can do to keep it from sticking? I hold it down for about 2-3 seconds at a time. Any suggestions or help appreciated.

You may need to reposition your switch housing. 1. Remove batteries. 2. Unscrew and remove adaptor. 3. Push switch housing towards the adaptor end and out of tube. 4. Inspect the button and button holder for any small plastic burrs that may be causing the issue and remove any burrs with a nail file or emory cloth. 5. Verify the switch (small round, grey button) is clean and operates freely. 6.place the button and holder back on top of the switch housing (ensure the button holder stays centered on the switch housing by holding parts in place) and slide the assembly fully back into the tube. 7. Thread adaptor back on while holding the switch housing centered with your thumb. 8. Reinstall batteries and end cap.
Hope that helps.

Thanks very much. Wow that was easy! When I read your reply I was apprehensive as I am not a Miss Fixit! So easy even a girl can fix it!! Also, I think the adapter was on too tight. no more sticking!!

You can actually use them to help push the switch up and out
