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. Refer to Motor Overload Protection under Features. Motor will start automatically when tank pressure drops below cut-in pressure of pressure switch. English
