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.

□
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.

Remove and inspect the bearing for rust, dirt, and
grit. Replace or clean and grease the bearing with
bearing grease.

of the tool’s exhaust.

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.

at all.
The tool needs lubricating.
Lubricate the air motor and the impact mechanism
according to the lubrication instructions in this
manual.
