lubrication.
Dirt particles have gotten
jammed in the motor.
The power regulator is in
the closed position.
The air flow is blocked by
dirt.
The compressor is not
strong enough to operate
the tool.
One or more of the motor
vanes is stuck due to
material build-up.
The throttle valve O-rings
have dislodged from the

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 the previous steps as needed.
Use the tool with a more powerful compressor.
