Why is my Powermate 024-0077CT tool not running or running slowly?

If your Powermate Impact Driver isn't running or is running slower than expected, there are several potential causes. First, ensure the air compressor regulator is set to 90 PSI to provide adequate air pressure. Also, check the torque regulator knob and adjust it to a higher setting if it's currently set low. Air hose leaks can also cause performance issues; tighten and seal any leaking hose fittings using Teflon tape. Lack of oil can also cause this issue, add 4-6 drops of air tool oil into the air inlet of the tool. Finally, grit or gumming inside the tool can impede its operation; clean the air motor with WD-40.
