INSUFFICIENT POWER:

Probable Cause 

Solution

Dirty or clogged air passages  . . . . . . . . . Flush and lubricate tool, drain air tank and supply line
Insufficient air supply  . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Increase line pressure, Make sure compressor

 

matches tool's air pressure and consumption needs

Air leakage . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Use PTFE tape at all fittings and joints. Check tool for 

 

worn or damaged O-rings & seals.

Worn/damaged wear & tear parts  . . . Replace as necessary.
Tool matching  . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Be sure you are using a tool suited for the torque

Oil tool before each use.

 4 to 5 drops of a good grade Air Tool Oil placed in the air inlet is 

sufficient. Use proper air pressure and CFM rating listed for this tool.

Drain water from hoses and 

compressor tank.

 Water in the air 

supply line will cause gumming and 

loss of power. Clean the air filter on 

the supply line and flush the tool with 

gum solvent or a 50/50 mix of air tool 

oil and kerosene. It may be necessary 

to disassemble the tool to properly 

clean and re-lubricate.

1. Make sure your Multi-Tool is disconnected from the air hose before attempting any 

maintenance.

2. Wipe the tool down with a lint free cloth after each use.
3.  If you do not use an inline oiler/filter system, lubricate the tool daily with a few drops of 

air tool oil by holding it so that the valve (37) is facing up. Squeeze the trigger (35), and 

place one or two drops of oil into the valve (37), allowing oil to circulate in the motor. 

4. If you do use an inline oiler/filter system the lubricator’s oil level needs to be maintained 

and the moisture filter must be regularly drained.   Performing routine maintenance on 

the air supply will allow the tool to operate more safely and will also reduce wear on the 

tool.

5. Daily - air supply maintenance: Every day, perform maintenance on the air supply 

according to the component manufacturers’ instructions.

6. Quarterly (every 3 months) - tool disassembly, cleaning, and inspection:
  a.  Have the internal mechanism cleaned, inspected, and lubricated by a qualified  

 

  technician.  

  b.  Replace accessories when they become worn or damaged.
7. Store in a safe and dry location out of the reach of children.
