Corrective Action
1. Flush the tool with Campbell Hausfeld air tool
oil, gum solvent, or an equal mixture of SAE
10 motor oil and kerosene. If Campbell
Hausfeld oil is not used, lubricate the tool
after cleaning
2. Lubricate the tool according to the lubrication
instructions in this manual
3. Adjust the compressor regulator to tool
maximum while the tool is running free
4. Tighten and seal hose fittings if leaks are
found
5. Be sure hose is properly sized. Long hoses
or tools using large volumes of air may
require a hose with an I.D. of 1/2 inch or
larger depending on total hose length
6. Adjust air flow regulator with a flathead
screwdriver to maximum speed
7. Remove and inspect bearing for rust, dirt,
grit or worn race. Clean and regrease bearing
with bearing grease or replace bearing
8. Replace gears
1. Drain tank (See air compressor manual). Oil
tool and run until no water is evident. Oil tool
again and run 1-2 seconds
2. a. Install a water separator/filter (PA2100
or PA2110). NOTE: Separators work
properly only when air steam is cool.
Locate separator/filter as far as possible
from compressor
2. b. Install an air dryer
2. c. Anytime water enters the tool, the tool
should be oiled immediately
1. Replace with new stone or burr
2. Replace shaft or collet (See parts list manual)
