I just purchased this.The compressor seems to work but there is no airflow to the tube/brush. Defective or am I doing something wrong?

It sounds like you need to adjust the regulator. There should be a black knob on the regulator that you can pull out then turn to increase or decrease the air flow.

Mine is working great are you seeing air on the intake tube if not shake your canater around jently front to back left to right all of air pockets should come out and be whisper quiet.

Yes, this is normal for the unit. It is just running as the compressor runs.

In my opinion, the product that you have is defective and should be returned for replacement. Mine does not do this, but I have had the same thing happen with another brand that I used in the past. Or, is it possible that the hot air brush is too hot and needs to cool down before it restarts!! Hope this helps!!

Hello, I have a release valve pressure gauge on my unit. When I press to button air is released into the tire. I read the new pressure and decide if the ire needs more air or not. If air is not being released try pressing the small valve at the stem? If air does not come out then you have a problem with the hose connector. Hope that helps. The unit has work fine for me.

Yes this pretty normal with an air compressor. Even my big compressor does this. Even though you can not hear an air leak there is usually a small one and that makes the compressor kick on to fill back up.

There should be no air coming out, probably a bad valve. Try putting a 3 in 1 oil in, valve might be sticky.

For the first time/ new to the trade person this is a good question. " they assume we all know a air compressor is needed. that being said I would visit you tube and do your homework. all your questions should be answered there. its what helped me a great deal. pay special attention to the cutting heads and consumables. the more you know the longer they last. also study what kind of regulator you may want. this one works for a short time but you get what you pay for. good luck have fun.

The product manual addresses this question. the fan runs, but not the compressor. Not a feature I like, and i probably wouldn't have gotten the unit if i'd know this.

I had the same problem. You don't need to press it to hard to the surface or maybe your air compressor is up to high. Hope this helps�

You might check your ground wire to make sure it is still good and try again with direct 12v again. If nothing, ck with ohm meter to see if there is any ohms across the two wires. If nothing there, replace the compressor. Good luck.

Is yours leaking any fluids by chance? Mine started to shoot just puffs of air 90% of the time and I noticed that it had oil / grease leaking from the black plastic bit just above where the connection is on the gun. Only used it 2x, no jams, never used higher than 100 psi etc. In the process of sending it back and getting a porter-cable.

Jenny. I had the same problem and I needed my tool to get back to work. There is an "all air brushes" adaptor kit which includes all air fittings available thru Amazon or Ebay. Amazon should be quicker if you need to use your tool right away. It only costs a couple of bucks :)

The compressor has enough to run it. but ig you use it for any length of time you might run out of air.

If I recall correctly when I purchased mine well over a year ago I had a leak problem with the drain valve at the bottom of the tank. Called Rollair and they shipped me another valve and that fixed the problem. The compressor may have a small issue to fix but in my opinion it's well worth it. I'm considering buying another one for back up.

Could be a diaphragm problem with the unit. Make sure the part that goes inside the duct is at the 12 o'clock position straight up. If u remove the unit check that the nozzle that was in the duct is not plugged up with any dirt or dust.
