oil throughout the tool for 30 seconds
approximately. This will prolong the tool
life.
Avoid storing the tool in a humid
environment which promotes rusting of
internal mechanisms. Always oil the tool
before storage.
When the tool is seriously damaged or
out of life, it should be left in a resource
recycling can. Never drop it into fire.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Problem
Tool runs slowly
or will not operate
Abnormal
vibration and/
or excessive heat
develops in the
tool.
Possible cause
1. Grit or gum in tool.
2. No oil in tool.
3. Low air pressure.
4. Air hose leaks.
5. Pressure drops.
6. Worn rotor blade.
7. Moisture blowing out
of tool exhaust.
Improper lubrication.
Corrective action
1. Flush the tool with air-tool oil or
gum solvent.
2. Lubricate the tool according to the
lubrication instructions in this manual.
3. a. Adjust the regulator on the tool
to maximum setting.
b. Adjust the compressor regulator to
tool maximum of 90 PSIG.
4. Tighten and seal hose fittings if
leaks are found.
Use sealing tape.
5. a. Be sure the hose is the proper
size. Long hose or tools using
large volumes of air may require a
hose with an I.D. of 1/2 in. or larger
depending on the total length of the
hoses.
b. Do not use a multiple number
of hoses connected together with
quick-connect fittings. This causes
additional pressure drops and reduces
the tool power. Directly connect the
hoses together.
6. Replace rotor blade.
7. Water in tank: drain tank. (See air
compressor manual). Oil tool and run
until no water is evident. Oil tool again
and run 1-2 seconds.
Follow proper lubrication procedures
in this manual.
