PROBABLE CAUSE

sticking due to insufficient
lubrication.
Dirt particles have gotten
jammed in motor.
The power regulator is in the
closed position.
The air flow is blocked by
dirt.
One or more of the motor
vanes is stuck due to
material build-up.

have dislodged from the
seat in the inlet valve.
CORRECTIVE ACTION
Lubricate the clutch housing.
Check for excess clutch oil. Clutch cases should only be
filled halfway. Overfilling may cause drag on high-speed
clutch parts. A typical oiled/lubricated air tool requires
1⁄2 oz (15 ml) of oil.
GREASE/LUBRICATION NOTE: Heat usually indicates
insufficient grease in the chamber. Harsh operating
conditions may require more frequent lubrication.
Check the air inlet filter for blockage.
Pour air tool lubricating oil into the air inlet, as per
instructions.
Operate the tool in short bursts, quickly reversing
rotation back and forth, where applicable.
Repeat above as needed.
