2. No oil in tool.
not operate
3. Low air pressure.
4. Air hose leaks.
5. Pressure drops.
6. Worn rotor blade.
7.Moisture blowing
out of tool exhaust.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
An in-line oiler is recommended to be installed on air supply line as it increases tool life
and keeps the tool in sustained operation. The in-line oiler should be regularly checked
and filled with air-tool oil. Proper adjustment of the in-line oiler is performed by placing
a sheet of paper next to the tool's exhaust ports and holding the throttle open
approximately 30 seconds. The in-line oiler is properly set when a light stain of oil
collects on the paper. Excessive amounts of oil should be avoided.
In the event that it becomes necessary to store the tool for an extended period of time,
it should receive a generous amount of lubrication at that time. The tool should be run for
approximately 30 seconds to ensure oil has been evenly distributed throughout the tool.
The tool should be stored in a clean and dry environment.
Recommended lubricants: use air-tool oil or any other high-grade turbine oil containing
moisture absorbent, rust inhibitors, metal wetting agents and an EP (extreme pressure)
additive.
Clean the tool all over with a cotton rag after each use. Keep the tool in a dry and safe
place out of reach of children.
CORRECTIVE ACTION
1. Flush the tool with air-tool oil or gum solvent.
2. Lubricate the tool.
3. a. Adjust the regulator on the tool to
maximum setting.
b. Adjust the compressor regulator to tool
maximum of 90 PSI/6.3 BAR.
4. Tighten and seal hose fittings if leaks are
found. Use sealing tape.
5. a. Be sure the hose is the proper size. Long
hose or tools using large volumes of air may
require a hose with an I.D. of 1/2 in. or larger
depending on the total length of the hoses.
b. Do not use a multiple number of hoses
connected together with quick-connect fittings.
This causes additional pressure drops and
reduces the tool power.
Directly connect the hoses together.
6. Replace rotor blade.
7. Water in tank; drain tank. (See air compressor
manual). Oil tool and run until no water is evident.
Oil tool again and run 1-2 seconds.
