the tool, the following points should be checked:
a) check the pressure at the output of the compressor;
adjust to 80-100 psi (5.5-7.0 bar) as required
b) check the tank pressure of the compressor & adjust the
start/stop limits
c) check the air delivery system
d) use fewer tools simultaneously; do not exceed the
capacity of the compressor or of the delivery system
e) drain water from the compressor

do not exceed 110 psi (7.6 bar)
d) Check the driving blade for broken end
e) Check piston wear-ring Q-022A; replace if piston is
sliding to easily
f) Check seal bushing Q-025B
g) Check the adjustment of the base and ensure the tool
