Why does my Husky Impact Driver run slowly or not operate?

Your Husky Impact Driver might be running slowly or not operating due to several reasons. It could be due to grit or gum in the tool, which can be resolved by flushing the tool with air tool oil or gum solvent. Another cause could be that the tool is out of oil; in this case, lubricate it according to the manual's lubrication instructions. Low air pressure or leaking air hoses can also be culprits; adjust the regulator to the maximum setting, check for leaks and tighten hose fittings, sealing them with pipe thread tape if necessary. Also, ensure the hose is the proper size, and directly connect the hoses together. Finally, worn components like a rotor blade or ball bearing in the motor may be the cause, requiring replacement or cleaning.
