Kobalt KM1940 07 Use And Care Manual

Make sure that you have 90 psi of supply air. If you are not running an inline oiler run some air tool oil through the gun.
You could even try running some gum solvent through the gun to clean it. If it still does not work you may have to replace the two o-rings and bushing on the reverse switch shaft.

Mine does the same after trying to break some over tightened lug nuts. Did you ever get a solution?

first I hope that you drain the water out of the tank regularly. It seems as though you might have an air hose collapsing but in any case there is something apparently restricting air flow too the gun. try opening the petcock and see if you have steady air discharge or not and if you have another air hose try it. Also, are coming directly off the compressor to the tool or do you have an oiler or drier in line? if so, eliminate the accessory. Let me know how you do....I'm curious.

sounds like it is drawing too much power. either the breaker isn't sized correctly or the motor has a bad winding causing it to draw too much amperage. remember, electric motors draw up to 3 times the juice briefly when starting up

if u take the tail outa ur gun u will see that da gause filter inside has broke up.it gone inside and holding da valve open pick it out wit a seal pick r somethin

there is a neoprene O ring in the trigger area ,that breaks down ,it needs a service by an air tool repairer ,it is not expensive. dont use wd40 or the like if dont have airtool oil use auto transmission fluid and this wont happen too often

An impact wrench works in the manner suggested by the name of the tool: through the principle of impact. In order to understand how an electrical or air-powered impact wrench works, it helps to know first how a manually powered impact wrench operates. A manually powered impact wrench looks like a fat screwdriver; on the end where the screwdriver blade normally goes, you can snap on screwdriver bits or sockets.
