Problem Possible Cause Solution
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
instrucons.) Lubricate the tool again and run for 1-2
seconds.
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 lubricaon
instrucons in this manual.
The air pressure is low. ˏAdjust the regulator seng on the tool.
ˏAdjust the compressor regulator to the tool's
maximum seng of 90psi.
The air hose leaks. ƷCheck the ng and connecon;
ƷCheck the air hose.
The air pressure drops. ˏEnsure the hose is the proper size. Long hoses or
tools using large volumes of air may require a hose
with an I.D. of 1/2" or large depending on the total
length of the hose.
ˏDo not use a mulple number of hoses connected
together with a quick connect ng. This causes
addional 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.
