If the tool has an air leak around the back head:
Disassemble and inspect the back head to see if the throttle valve or O ring seals are damaged.
Tighten up all back head fasteners securely.
If the tool is not hitting hard enough:

If all fasteners are tight, then check for wear on internal parts; if worn, parts should be replaced.
Check clearances between the piston and cylinder bore carefully.
If you cannot shut off the tool:
Immediately turn off the air source, then disconnect the air supply.
Disassemble the back head and inspect the throttle valve and O rings for damage.
Conclusion
By following these troubleshooting steps, you can address common problems with your paving breaker and keep it running efficiently. Regular maintenance and timely repairs ensure the tool performs reliably, minimizing downtime on the job.
