If the tool runs slowly or will not operate, check these possible problems and take the 
required corrective action:

POSSIBLE PROBLEM

SOLUTION

Grit or gum in tool.

Flush the tool with air-tool oil or gum solvent.

No oil in tool.

Lubricate the tool.

Low air pressure.

Adjust the regulator on the tool to the maximum setting.
Adjust the compressor regulator to tool maximum of 90 PSI.
NOTE: Air hoses may cause up to 15 PSI loss in 
pressure, so you may need to set a higher compressor 
output to maintain the required pressure at the tool.

Air hose leaks.

Tighten and seal hose fittings if leaks are found. Use 
sealing tape.

Pressure drops.

Be sure the hose is the proper size. Long hoses or tools 
using large volumes of air may require an internal 
diameter of 1/2 in. I.D. or larger, depending on total 
hose length.
Do not use multiple hoses connected together with 
quick-connect fittings. This causes additional loss of 
pressure and reduces the tool power. Use single hoses 
of the proper length.

Worn rotor blade.

Replace rotor blade.

Moisture blowing out of 
tool exhaust.

Water in compressor tank; drain tank. (See air 
compressor manual.) 
Oil the tool and run until no water is evident. Oil the tool
again and run 1 – 2 seconds.
