Do not repair the leak. WARNING: Risk of bursting. Do not drill into, weld or otherwise modify air tank or it will weaken. The air tank can rupture or explode. Contact a DEWALT factory service center or a DEWALT authorized service center. Operate safety valve manually by pulling on ring. If valve still leaks, it must be replaced. It is normal for some pressure drop to occur when an accessory is used, adjust the regulator as instructed in Regulator under Features if pressure drop is excessive. NOTE: Adjust the regulated pressure under flow conditions while accessory is being used. Decrease amount of air usage. Check the accessory air requirement. If it is higher than the CFM or pressure supplied by your air compressor, a larger compressor is needed to operate accessory. Replace air hose. Remove, clean or replace. Tighten fittings. Replace. See Motor Overload under Features. Check for proper gauge wire and cord length. See Extension Cords under Installation.

still leaks, it must be replaced.
7
Regulator is not adjusted correctly for accessory being
used
It is normal for some pressure drop to occur when an acces-
sory is used, adjust the regulator as instructed in
Regulator
under
Features
if pressure drop is excessive.
NOTE:
Adjust the regulated pressure under flow conditions
while accessory is being used.
8
Prolonged excessive use of air
Decrease amount of air usage.
9
Compressor is not large enough for accessory
Check the accessory air requirement. If it is higher than
the CFM or pressure supplied by your air compressor, a
larger compressor is needed to operate accessory.
10
Hole in air hose
Replace air hose.
11
Check valve restricted
Remove, clean or replace.
12
Air leaks
Tighten fittings.
13
Regulator is damaged
Replace.
14
