4.2 Troubleshooting
Problem Possible Cause Solution
Decreased Output
1. Not enough air pressure
and/or air flow.
2. Obstructed trigger.
3. Incorrect lubrication or not
enough lubrication.
4. Blocked air inlet screen.
5. Air leaking from loose
housing.
6. Mechanism contaminated.
1. Check for loose
connections and make sure
that air supply is providing
enough air flow (CFM) at
the required pressure (90
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
according to instructions.
4. Clean air inlet screen.
5. Make sure housing is
properly assembled and
tight.
6. Have a qualified technician
clean and lubricate
mechanism. Install an in-
line filter in air supply.
Housing heats during
operation.
1. Incorrect lubrication or not
enough lubrication.
2. Worn parts.
3. Extended continuous use.
4. Applying excessive force.
1. Lubricate using air tool oil
according to instructions.
2. Have a qualified technician
inspect internal mechanism
and replace parts as
needed.
3. Allow enough idle time to
cool.
4. Use lighter amount of force.
Severe air leakage
(slight air leakage is
normal, especially on
older tools)
1. Cross-threaded or loose
housing components.
2. Damaged valve or housing
3. Dirty, worn, or damaged
valve.
1. Check for incorrect
alignment and uneven
gaps. If needed,
disassemble and re-tighten.
2. Replace damaged
components.
3. Clean or replace valve
assembly.
