Troubleshooting
Problem
Possible Cause
Solution
The tool runs slowly or will not
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
maximum setting.
□
Adjust the compressor regulator to the tool’s
maximum setting of 90 psi.
The air hose leaks.
□
Tighten and seal the hose fittings with pipe
thread tape if leaks are found.
The air pressure drops.
□
Ensure the hose is the proper size. Long
hoses or tools using large volumes of air may
require a hose with an I.D. of ½" or larger
depending on the total length of the hose.
□
Do not use a multiple number of hoses
connected together with a quick connect
fitting. This causes additional pressure drops
and reduces the tool power. Directly connect
the hoses together.
There is a worn rotor blade in the motor.
□
Replace the rotor blade.
There is a worn ball bearing in the motor.
□
Remove and inspect the bearing for rust, dirt,
and grit. Replace or clean and grease the
bearing with bearing grease.
There is moisture blowing out
of the tool’s exhaust.
There is water in the tank.
□
Drain the tank. (See the air compressor
manual for instructions.) Lubricate the tool
and run it until water is not evident. Lubricate
the tool again and run for 1-2 seconds.
