TROUBLESHOOTING
ImpAct WREnchES
TOOL DOES NOT RUN OR RUNS SLOWLY,
AND/OR AIR FLOWS ONLY SLIGHTLY FROM
EXHAUST — This condition is probably caused
by insufficient air pressure, contaminants
blocking the airflow or operation of motor
parts, or a power regulator which has
vibrated to a closed position.
YOU SHOULD: Check the air supply for
sufficient pressure. Check the air inlet
strainer for blockage. Pour a generous
amount of air tool oil into air inlet. Operate
tool in short bursts, in both forward and
reverse directions. Repeat if necessary. If
tool performance does not improve, the tool
should be serviced by an authorized service
center.
TOOL WILL NOT RUN, EXHAUST
AIR FLOWS FREELY. This condition is probably
caused by one or more rotor vanes stuck on
ac c u m u l a t ed sludge or varnish; motor rusted.
YOU SHOULD: Pour a generous amount of air
tool oil into air inlet. Operate tool in short
bursts in both forward and reverse directions.
Lightly tap the motor housing with a plastic
mallet. Detach the air supply. Try to free the
motor by turning the drive shaft manually,
if possible. If the tool remains jammed, it
should be serviced by an authorized service
center.
SOCKETS WILL NOT STAY ON. This condition
is probably caused by a worn socket retainer
ring or a soft backup o-ring
YOU SHOULD: Wear safety goggles. Detach
the air supply. Using external retaining ring
pliers, remove the old retaining ring. While
holding the square drive with an appropriate
wrench, use a small screwdriver to pry old
retainer ring out of its groove. Always pry
the ring away from your body, because it
can be propelled outward at high velocity.
Replace the backup o-ring and retainer ring
with correct new parts (see breakdown).
Place the retaining ring on a table and press
the tool anvil into the ring with a rocking
motion. Snap the ring into the groove by
hand.
PREMATURE ANvIL WEAR. This is probably
caused by using chromed sockets, which are
not designed for use with impact tools, or
worn sockets
YOU SHOULD: Stop using chrome sockets.
Chrome sockets have a hard exterior surface
and a soft core, which leads to a warped
but very hard drive hole when used with
impact tools. Chrome sockets will wear
wrench anvils quickly and present a danger of
splitting or breakage which can lead to injury
or death.
TOOL SLOWLY LOSES POWER BUT RUNS
AT FULL SPEED WHEN NOT UNDER LOAD.
This condition is probably caused by worn
clutch parts, inadequate lubrication, or worn
engaging cam.
YOU SHOULD: FOR OIL LUBED WRENCHES:
Check for presence of clutch oil (where oil
is specified for the clutch) and remove oil
fill plug. Tilt to drain all of the oil from
the clutch case. Refill the case with NAPA
air tool oil or that recommended by the
PLEASE REVIEW ALL WARNING INSTRUCTIONS PRIOR TO OPERATION. SAVE ThIS mAN U AL fOR fUTURE REfERENCE.

manufacturer in the specified amount. Also
check for excess
clutch oil. Clutch cases only need to be
filled 50%, and overfilling can cause drag
on high speed clutch parts. A typical 1/2"
Drive oil lubed wrench only requires 1/2
ounce of clutch oil. FOR GREASE LUBED
WRENCHES: Check for excess grease by
rotating drive shaft by hand. It should rotate
freely, and excess grease is usually expelled
automatically.
TOOL WILL NOT SHUT OFF. This condition is
probably caused by a broken or maligned
throttle valve O-ring, or a bent or jammed
throttle valve stem.
YOU SHOULD: Remove the throttle assembly
and install a new o-ring. Lubricate the
assembly with air tool oil and operate the
trigger briskly. If operation cannot be
restored, the tool should be serviced at an
authorized service center.
AIR RAtchEtS
MOTOR RUNS. SPINDLE DOESN'T TURN,
OR TURNS ERRATICALLY —This condition
is probably caused by worn teeth on the
ratchet or pawl, a broken or weak pawl
pressure spring, or weak drag springs which
fail to hold the spindle while the pawl
advances.
YOU SHOULD: Have replacement parts
installed by an authorized service center.
TOOL DOESN'T RUN, RATCHET HEAD
INDEXES CRISPLY BY HAND— This condition
is probably caused by the accumulation of
dirt or sludge in motor parts.
YOU SHOULD: Pour a generous amount
of air tool oil into the air inlet. Operate
the throttle in short bursts. With the tool
engaged on a bolt, alternately tighten
and loosen the bolt by hand. If the tool
remains jammed, it should be serviced at an
authorized service center
AIR DRILLS
TOOL WILL NOT RUN, RUNS SLOWLY, AIR
FLOWS SLIGHTLY FROM EXHAUST, SPINDLE
TURNS FREELY — This condition is probably
caused by a blocked air passage or jammed
motor parts.
YOU SHOULD: Check the air inlet for
blockages. Pour a generous amount of
air tool oil into air inlet. Operate the trigger
in short bursts. Detach the air supply.
Turn the empty and closed drill chuck by
hand. Reconnect air supply. If the tool's
performance does not improve, it should be
serviced by an authorized service center.
TOOL WILL NOT RUN. AIR FLOWS FREELY
FROM EXHAUST. SPINDLE TURNS FREELY.
This condition is prob a b ly caused by a broken
rotor vane or jammed or broken gears.
YOU SHOULD: Pour a generous amount
of air tool oil into air inlet. Operate the
trigger in short bursts. Detach the air supply.
Turn the empty and closed drill chuck by
hand. Reconnect air supply. If the tool's
performance does not improve, it should be
serviced by an authorized service center.
7
TOOL SEIzED. SPINDLE WILL NOT
TURN — This condition is probably caused by
a broken rotor vane or jammed or broken
gears.
YOU SHOULD: Have the tool serviced by an
authorized service center.
TOOL WILL NOT SHUT OFF — The throttle
valve o-ring has probably come unseated.
YOU SHOULD: Replace the o-ring (see
breakdown) or have tool serviced by an
authorized service center.
AIR hAmmERS
TOOL WILL NOT RUN — This condition is
probably caused by a clogged cycling valve or
throttle valve.
YOU SHOULD: Check the air inlet for
blockages. Pour a generous amount of
air tool oil into air inlet. Operate the trigger
in short bursts with the chisel in place and
against a solid surface. Detach the air supply.
Tap the nose or barrel lightly with a plastic
mallet, reconnect the air supply, and repeat
above steps. If the tool is still seized, insert
a 6" piece of 1/8" diameter rod in the nozzle
and lightly tap to loosen the piston in the
rear direction. Reconnect air supply and
repeat above steps.
CHISEL STUCK IN NOzzLE— This condition is
probably caused by a deformed shank.
YOU SHOULD: Have tool serviced by an
authorized service center
NOTE: DISASSEMBLY OF THIS TOOL BY ANY
OTHER THAN AN AUTHORIZED SERVICE
CENTER WILL VOID THE WARRANTY ON THIS
TOOL.
SAnDERS/GRInDERS
TOOL HAS NO POWER OR RUNS SLOWLY—
This condition is probably caused by
insufficient air pressure, contaminants
blocking the air flow, or speed regulator that
has vibrated to a closed or off position.
YOU SHOULD: Check the air supply at the
compressor and air lines to the tool for
sufficient air pressure. Check the air inlet
strainer for blockage and make sure speed
regulator is in the open or on position. If
power is not restored the tool should be
serviced by an authorized service center.
tOOL SEIZED. pAD/SpInDLE WILL nOt
tuRn–This condition is probably caused by a
broken rotor vane, jammed or broken gears,
or seized bearing.
yOu ShOuLD: Have the tool repaired by an
authorized service center.
TOOL WILL NOT SHUT OFF/RUNS
CONTINUOUSLY–The throttle valve seat has
become loose or damaged.
yOu ShOuLD: Replace o-ring or valve seat
(see breakdown for proper parts) or have tool
serviced by an authorized service center.
SAnDS / GRInDS unEVEnLy–This condition
is usually caused by loose pad/disc connection
or worn or damaged pad/disc.
yOu ShOuLD: Check pad/disc connection,
ensure that connection is secure and tight.
Replace worn or damaged pad/disc.
