Troubleshooting
Problem
Possible Cause
Solution
Tool runs slowly or will not
operate
□ Grit or gum in tool
□ Flush the tool with air tool oil or gum
solvent.
□ No oil in tool
□ Lubricate the tool according to the
lubrication instructions in this manual.
□ Low air pressure
□ Adjust the regulator on the tool to the
maximum setting.
□ Adjust the compressor regulator to tool
maximum of 90 psi.
□ Air hose leaks
□ Tighten and seal hose fittings if leaks
are found use pipe thread tape.
□ Pressure drops
□ Be sure 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 larger depending on the total length
of the hose.
□ Do not use a multiple number of hoses
connected together with quick connect
fitting. This causes additional pressure
drops and reduces the tool power.
Directly connect the hoses together.
□ Worn rotor blade in motor
□ Replace rotor blade.
□ Worn ball bearing in motor
□ Remove and inspect bearing for rust,
dirt and grit. Replace or clean and
grease bearing with bearing grease.
Moisture blowing out of tool
exhaust.
□ Water in tank.
□ Drain tank. (See air compressor manual).
Oil tool and run until no water is
evident. Oil tool again and run 1-2
seconds.
