How to fix insufficient pressure at air tool with Senco PC0968N Air Compressor?
- W
  Wayne PriceAug 16, 2025
  If you're experiencing insufficient pressure at your air tool or accessory with your Senco Air Compressor, first, adjust the pressure regulator knob to the proper setting or replace it if defective. Clean the air intake filter if it's restricted. Check for and repair any air leaks. Finally, ensure your air compressor is large enough for the air requirement of your tool or accessory; if the CFM or pressure requirement is higher than the compressor's supply, you'll need a larger air compressor.

Why is my Senco PC0968N Air Compressor not making enough air?
- M
  Michael MccarthyAug 19, 2025
  If your Senco Air Compressor isn't making enough air, start by cleaning the air intake filter if it's restricted. If the issue persists, the (reed) valve may be defective. Drain the air tank and measure the pump-up time, comparing it to the specifications. If the pump-up time is lower than expected, remove the pump head and inspect the valve plate, cleaning or replacing it as necessary.

How to troubleshoot Senco PC0968N Air Compressor motor that will not run?
- B
  bnguyenAug 26, 2025
  If the Senco Air Compressor motor won't run or restart, first, ensure the power cord is plugged into a grounded outlet. Then, check that the motor/pressure switch is in the ON (1) position. If it still doesn't work, the motor thermal overload switch may have tripped; turn the compressor off, let the motor cool, and check the motor circuit breaker. Also, verify the fuse and replace or reset the circuit breaker, ensuring the fuse amperage is correct and there are no low voltage conditions. Avoid using the extension cord of the wrong gauge wire or length. The motor will start automatically when air tank pressure drops below the motor/pressure switch’s cut-in pressure. If the pressure release valve hasn't unloaded pump head pressure, bleed the line by moving the switch to the OFF (0) position.

Why does my Senco PC0968N Air Compressor motor run continuously?
- H
  Hector WalkerAug 28, 2025
  If the Senco Air Compressor motor runs continuously when in the ON (1) position, and the safety relief valve activates, immediately move the motor/pressure switch to the OFF (0) position. If the motor still doesn’t shut off, unplug the air compressor, the electrical contacts may be welded together, replace the pressure switch. Also, limit the air pressure to the capacity of the air compressor by using a smaller tool or a larger air compressor if the current one is incorrectly sized.

What to do if Senco Air Compressor is leaking air from safety relief valve?
- K
  Karen CastroAug 31, 2025
  If air leaks from the safety relief valve on your Senco Air Compressor, manually operate the safety relief valve by pulling on the ring. If the leak persists, the valve should be replaced. This issue can also be caused by excessive air tank pressure, which indicates a defective motor/pressure switch that needs replacement.

  If air continues to leak at the motor/pressure switch release valve after the motor stops on your Senco Air Compressor, the check valve is likely stuck open. Remove, clean, or replace the check valve to resolve this issue.

How to reduce moisture in Senco Air Compressor discharge air?
- C
  Christine MartinSep 6, 2025
  If you're experiencing moisture in the discharge air from your Senco Air Compressor, it's likely due to condensation in the air tank caused by a high level of atmospheric humidity or because the air compressor isn't run long enough. To address this, drain the air tank after every use. In humid weather, drain the tank more often and consider using an air line filter.
