Operating Instructions

Problems

Possible Causes

Remedies

If tool runs at normal 

speed, but loses 

speed under load

Motor parts worn

Lubricate clutch housing.

Cam clutch worn or sticking 

due to lack of lubricant

Check for excess clutch oil. Clutch 

cases need only be half full. Overfilling 

can cause drag on high speed clutch 

parts, i.e. a typical oiled/lubricated air 

tool requires 1⁄2 ounce of oil

GREASE LUBRICATED:

 Heat usually 

indicates insufficient grease in cham-

ber. Severe operating conditions may 

require more frequent lubrication

If tool runs slowly 

and air flows lightly 

from exhaust

Motor parts jammed with dirt 

particles

Check air inlet filter for blockage
Pour air tool lubricating oil into air inlet 

as per instructions

Power regulator in closed 

position

Operate tool in short bursts quickly 

reversing rotation back and forth 

where applicable

 Air flow blocked by dirt

Repeat above if needed

If tool will not run 

and air flows freely 

from exhaust

One or more motor vanes 

stuck due to material build 

up

Pour lubrication oil into the tool air inlet
Operate tool in short bursts of forward 

and/or reverse rotation where 

applicable
Tap motor housing gently with plastic 

mallet
Disconnect supply. Free motor by   

rotating drive shank manually where 

applicable

If tool will not shut 

off

O-rings throttle valve 

dislodged from seat inlet 

valve

Replace O-ring

Trouble Shooting

The following table details the common operating system with problem and solutions. Please read 

the table carefully and follow it. 

WARNING:

 If any of the following symptoms appear during your operating, stop using the tool                 

immediately, or serious personal injury could result. Only qualified persons or an authorised service 

centre can perform repairs or replacement of tool.
Disconnect tool from air supply before attempting repair or adjustment. When replacing O-rings or 

cylinder, lubricate with air tool oil before assembly.
