TROUBLESHOOTING

CAUSE
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.
CORRECTION
Flush the tool with air-tool oil or gum solvent.
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 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. I.D. 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 power. Use single
hoses 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.
