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.
