Can I use the Wagner 915 1500 Watt On-Demand Power Steamer to remove tree sap from car's painted surfaces?

It's possible BUT it would probably turn it into a gooie mess and you'd just smear it around and create a bigger mess. If you have any rubbing alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, around the house, this is your go-to tree sap removal solvent. We are talking about common alcohol, not some 100-proof stuff. You only need a dilute solution for it to work. Put a bit on a paper towel, micro fiber towel and dab it on. Gently wipe the sap off. Any rough moves with any solvent can leave a mark. Take your time! Let the solvent do the job, not the towel and your elbow grease. Rinse with warm water. Best to you

Craftsman Air Compressor. I have to press the reset button on it. Can I stride wire it?

Question edited for clarity. Question moved from Misc to correct category. By 'stride wire', do you mean just short across the switch? Yes you can but really you need to fix the problem. You know these things can blow up and spray shrapnel 30 feet? Google Craftsman (model) parts You may have a short in the motor, in which case, shorting it out won't fix it. https://www.google.com/search?q=Craftsman+Air+Compressor.+I+have+to+press+the+reset+button+on+it

Mech Power M90002 - Tank Air Compressor. Can be used in Africa?

It is important to determine the voltage and frequency of the power supply in the country where you want to use your air compressor. In Africa, most countries use 220-240V at 50Hz as the standard voltage and frequency. If your compressor is designed for use in the United States, it may be rated for 110V at 60Hz, which means it is not compatible with the power supply in Africa without a voltage converter or transformer. Using a device that is not designed for the local power supply can damage the device and potentially cause safety hazards. To determine if your tank air compressor is compatible with the power supply in Africa, you should check the specifications on the device or its manual to see if it can operate at 220-240V at 50Hz. If it is not rated for this voltage and frequency, you will need to use a voltage converter or transformer to adjust the voltage and frequency to match the requirements of the compressor.

My Senco FramePro 602 will not shoot at angles

You can check a few things to identify the problem if your Senco FramePro 602 nail gun is not shooting at angles: Make sure the depth adjustment is adjusted appropriately for the material you are dealing with and the nail size by checking it. The cannon may not be able to fire at an angle if the depth adjustment is set too high. Verify the air pressure: Ensure that the nail gun's air pressure is set properly. For the FramePro 602, a pressure range of 70 to 120 PSI is advised. The nail gun may stop working if the air pressure is too low. Examine the magazine for any jammed nails that might be stopping the rifle from shooting properly. If you find any, remove them. Make sure the magazine is free of any debris and unblock any nails that are stuck. Verify the angle adjustment: Ensure that the nail gun's angle adjustment is correctly set for the angle you intend to utilize. The FramePro 602 is capable of firing at 21-degree and 28-degree angles, so make sure that the angle adjustment is set to the appropriate level.

Can i use reg.#n246884 on model #2001wk

It is not recommended to use a regulator with a different part number than the original one specified for your tool. The reason is that different regulators may have different pressure settings, flow rates, or other specifications that could affect the performance and safety of your tool. In your case, the DWB-A16181 regulator is the original regulator specified for the Porter Cable Model 2001WK compressor, and the N246884 regulator is not listed as a compatible replacement in the tool's parts list. It is recommended to obtain the correct replacement part for your tool, either by contacting the manufacturer or an authorized service center. This will ensure that the replacement part is compatible and meets the required specifications for your tool.

We have an Ingersoll Rand SDR25 Compressed Air dryer that won't shut

If your Ingersoll Rand SDR25 compressed air dryer is not shutting off when the air tank is full, there are a few possible causes:
  1. Faulty solenoid valve: The solenoid valve is responsible for controlling the flow of compressed air through the dryer. If the valve is faulty, it may not be closing properly, which could prevent the dryer from shutting off.
  2. Clogged or dirty inlet filter: If the inlet filter is clogged or dirty, it can restrict airflow through the dryer, which could prevent the solenoid valve from closing and the dryer from shutting off.
  3. Faulty pressure switch: The pressure switch is responsible for monitoring the pressure in the air tank and turning off the compressor when the tank is full. If the pressure switch is faulty, it may not be sending the signal to the dryer to shut off.
To troubleshoot this issue, you can try the following steps:
  1. Check the solenoid valve: Disconnect the air supply to the dryer and check the solenoid valve for proper operation. The valve should be closed when no power is applied, and should open when power is applied. If the valve is not operating properly, it may need to be replaced.
  2. Clean or replace the inlet filter: Check the inlet filter for any signs of clogging or dirt buildup. If the filter is dirty, clean or replace it and check if this resolves the issue.
  3. Check the pressure switch: Check the pressure switch for proper operation. You can use a multimeter to test the switch for continuity and check if it is sending the correct signal to the dryer to shut off.
If none of these steps resolve the issue, it is recommended to contact a qualified technician or the manufacturer for further assistance with troubleshooting and repairing the air dryer.

Air compressor sparks after new brushes

Sparks and smoking from an air compressor after installing new brushes could indicate a problem with the brush fit or alignment, or with the armature. Here are some possible causes and solutions to try:
  1. Brush fit: The brushes may be too long or not fit properly, causing them to stick and spark. Try removing the brushes and inspecting them for proper length and fit. If necessary, trim them down or replace them with the correct size.
  2. Brush alignment: The brushes may not be making proper contact with the armature, causing them to spark. Try adjusting the brush holder or armature to ensure proper alignment.
  3. Armature issues: If the brushes and holder are properly aligned, the problem may be with the armature itself. It could be worn or damaged, causing it to spark and smoke. In this case, the armature may need to be repaired or replaced.
  4. Spring pressure: If the brush springs are too strong, they could be putting too much pressure on the brushes, causing them to spark. Try replacing the springs with lighter ones to see if this resolves the issue.
Note: It's important to use the correct type and size of brushes for your specific air compressor model. Using generic or incorrect brushes could cause damage or safety hazards.

Ingersoll Rand SSR-EP100 over pressure faults

An overpressure fault on an Ingersoll Rand SSR-EP100 compressor indicates that the pressure in the system has exceeded the allowable limit, triggering the pressure switch to shut down the compressor to prevent damage. Here are some possible causes and troubleshooting steps to try:
  1. Check the pressure switch: Make sure the pressure switch is functioning properly and set to the correct pressure range for your system. If it's malfunctioning or set incorrectly, it may be tripping the compressor prematurely.
  2. Check the air filter: A dirty air filter can restrict airflow and cause the compressor to overheat, which can lead to an overpressure fault. Make sure the air filter is clean and replace it if necessary.
  3. Check the condenser coil: The condenser coil can become clogged with dirt and debris, reducing the system's ability to dissipate heat and causing the compressor to overheat. Clean the coil and remove any obstructions.
  4. Check for leaks: A leak in the system can cause the compressor to work harder than it should, leading to an overpressure fault. Check for leaks in the air lines, fittings, and valves, and repair any leaks you find.
  5. Check the unloaders: Make sure the compressor's unloaders are working properly. If they're not unloading the system when the pressure reaches the maximum level, it can cause an overpressure fault.
If none of these troubleshooting steps resolve the issue, it may be necessary to call a qualified technician to diagnose and repair the compressor.
