Troubleshooting

Problem

Possible Causes

Likely Solutions

Decreased output.

1.  Not enough air pressure and/

or air flow. 

 

 

2.  Obstructed trigger. 

3.  Incorrect lubrication or not 

enough lubrication.

4.  Blocked air inlet screen (if 

equipped).

5.  Air leaking from loose housing. 

6.  Mechanism contaminated. 

 

7.  Chisel edge is damaged. 

1.  Check for loose connections and make sure 

that air supply is providing enough air flow 

(CFM) at required pressure (PSI) to the 

tool’s air inlet.  

Do not exceed maximum air 

pressure.

2. 

Clean around trigger to ensure free 

movement.

3.  Lubricate using air tool oil and grease 

according to directions.

4.  Clean air inlet screen of buildup. 

5.  Make sure housing is properly assembled 

and tight.

6.  Have qualified technician clean and lubricate 

mechanism.  Install in-line filter in air supply 

as stated in Initial Set Up: Air Supply.

7.  Replace with a new chisel do not sharpen. 

Housing heats 

during use.

1.  Incorrect lubrication or not 

enough lubrication.

2.  Worn parts.

1.  Lubricate using air tool oil and grease 

according to directions.

2.  Have qualified technician inspect internal 

mechanism and replace parts as needed.

Severe air 

leakage.

(Slight air leakage 

is normal, 

especially on older 

tools.)

1.  Cross-threaded housing 

components. 

2.  Loose housing. 

 

3.  Damaged valve or housing.
4.  Dirty, worn or damaged valve. 

1.  Check for incorrect alignment and uneven 

gaps.  If cross-threaded, disassemble and 

replace damaged parts before use.

2.  Tighten housing assembly.  If housing cannot 

tighten properly, internal parts may be 

misaligned.

3.  Replace damaged components.
4.  Clean or replace valve assembly.

 Follow all safety precautions whenever diagnosing or servicing the 

tool.  Disconnect air supply before service.
