  If your DeWalt Air Compressor isn't supplying enough air, first, try decreasing the amount of air you are using. Also, make sure the compressor is large enough for the accessory by checking its air requirement. If the air requirement is higher than the CFM or pressure supplied by your air compressor, you'll need a larger compressor. Finally, inspect the air hose for any holes and replace it if necessary.
