Why pro.point Sander has loss of power or erratic performance?

  If your pro.point Sander loses power or performs erratically, start by checking the air supply. Make sure it's connected to a 3/8" I.D. or larger air hose without any kinks or restrictions, and that the fittings are properly connected. Also, ensure that your compressor's rated flow matches the tool's requirements. The issue may arise from excessive drain on the air line, moisture or restrictions in the air hose, or using the wrong size or type of hose connectors; or the air compressor might not have sufficient flow.

  If your pro.point Sander runs slowly and air flows slightly from the exhaust, the motor parts might be jammed with dirt particles. Here's what you can do: 1. Check the air inlet filter for any blockage. 2. Pour air tool oil into the air inlet as instructed. 3. Operate the tool in short bursts, quickly reversing the rotation back and forth where applicable. 4. Disconnect the supply and try to free the motor by manually rotating the drive shank, if possible. 5. Repeat these steps as needed.
