TROUBLESHOOTING
If the tool runs slowly or will not operate, check these possible problems and
take the required corrective action:
POSSIBLE PROBLEM
Grit or gum in tool
No oil in tool
Low air pressure
Air hose leaks
Low air pressure
Worn rotor blade
Moisture blowing out of
tool exhaust
Flush the tool with air tool oil.
Lubricate the tool.
Adjust the regulator on the tool to the maximum
setting.
Adjust the compressor regulator to tool
maximum of 90 PSI.
NOTE: Air hoses may cause up to 15 PSI loss
in pressure, so you may need to set a higher
compressor output to maintain the required
90 PSI pressure at the tool.
Tighten and seal hose fittings if leaks are found.
Use sealing tape.
Be sure the hose is the proper size. Long hoses
or tools using large volumes of air may require
an internal diameter of 1/2 in. or larger,
depending on total hose length.
Do not use multiple hoses connected together
with quick-connect fittings. This causes additional
loss of pressure and reduces the tool's power.
Use single hose of the proper length.
Replace rotor blade.
Water in compressor tank; drain tank. (See air
compressor manual.)
Oil the tool and run until no water is evident.
Oil the tool again and run 1 – 2 seconds.
