TROUBLESHOOTING
If the tool runs slowly or will not operate, check these possible problems and
take the required corrective action:
POSSIBLE PROBLEM SOLUTION
Grit or gum in tool.
No oil in tool.
Low air pressure.
Flush the tool with air-tool oil or gum solvent.
Lubricate the tool.
Adjust the regulator on the tool to the
maximum setting.
Adjust the compressor regulator to tool
maximum of 90 PSI.
NOTE: Air hoses may cause up to 15 PSI
loss in pressure, so you may need to set a
higher compressor output to maintain the
required pressure at the tool.
Tighten and seal hose fittings with sealing
tape if leaks are found.
Air hose leaks.
Pressure drops. Be sure the hose is the proper size. Long
hoses or tools using large volumes of air may
require an internal diameter of 1/2 in. I.D. or
larger, depending on total hose length.
Do not use multiple hoses connected together
with quick-connect fittings. This causes
additional loss of pressure and reduces the
tool power. Use single hoses of the proper
length.
Replace rotor blade.Worn rotor blade.
Moisture blowing out of tool
exhaust. Water in compressor tank; drain tank. (See air compressor manual.) Oil the tool and
run until no water is evident. Oil the tool again
and run 1 – 2 seconds.
