operate.
There is grit or gum in the tool.
Flush the tool with air tool oil or gum solvent.
The tool is out of oil.
Lubricate the tool according to the lubrication
instructions in this manual.
The air pressure is low.
□
Adjust the regulator on the tool to the

Tighten and seal the hose fittings with pipe thread
tape if leaks are found.

hoses or tools using large volumes of air may
require a hose with an I.D. of ½" or larger

connected together with a quick connect
fitting. This causes additional pressure drops
and reduces the tool power. Directly connect
the hoses together.

of the tool’s exhaust.
