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 block-

ing 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 suf-

ficient 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 proba-

bly caused by one or more rotor vanes stuck on
ac cu mu la ted 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

cased 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 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 cause 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 assem-

bly 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 pres-

sure 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 condi-

tion 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 bly 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.

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 break-

down) 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 suf-
ficient 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:
