Have the internal mechanism
cleaned, inspected, and lubricated by
a qualified technician.
Likely Solutions
1. Check for loose connections and make sure
that air supply is providing enough air flow
(CFM) at required pressure (PSI) to the
tool's air inlet. Do not exceed maximum air
pressure.
2. Clean around trigger to ensure free
movement.
3. Lubricate using air tool oil and grease
according to directions.
4. Clean air inlet screen of buildup.
5. Make sure housing is properly assembled
and tight.
6. Have qualified technician clean and lubricate
mechanism. Install in-line filter in air supply
as stated in Initial Set Up: Air Supply.
7. Replace all vanes.
1. Lubricate using air tool oil.
2. Have qualified technician inspect internal
mechanism and replace parts as needed.
1. Check for incorrect alignment and uneven
gaps. If cross-threaded, disassemble and
replace damaged parts before use.
2. Tighten housing assembly. If housing cannot
tighten properly, internal parts may be
misaligned.
3. Replace damaged components.
4. Clean or replace valve assembly.
