ASSEMBLY (CONT.)
PRIMING:
• Release follower rod and push rod up
• Press Automatic Bleeder Valve to expel air
• Pull trigger until grease flows without air
OPERATION
• DANGER: Never operate product in an explosive atmosphere. Electric power tools and battery powered tools can create sparks, which may ignite flammable liquids, dusts, or fumes.
• DANGER: Because of the high working pressures developed by this gun, the possibility of grease injection into the flesh, or an eye, is a potential hazard. Never allow any part of the human body to
come in front of, or in direct contact with a grease discharge outlet or potential hose rupture. Never point the nozzle of the gun at yourself or toward anyone else. If accidental grease injection should
occur, seek Immediate Emergency Medical Attention. DO NOT try to treat the injury yourself! If injection occurs, provide grease product information to medical personnel. Be certain that any and all
system components will withstand the pressures being developed. Never exceed the pressure rating of any component in the system. Inspect all hoses and fittings before each use.Weak, worn, or
damaged hoses are a hazard. Do not use any defective, unmarked, or damaged hoses. Do not repair the grease whip hose. Replace if damaged.
• WARNING: Grease gun can develop high pressure – up to 7000 psi (483 bar). Use safety glasses and gloves for protection during operation. Keep hands clear of the exposed rubber or plastic
portion of hose. Extreme pressure may cause nozzle extension or grease hose to burst.
• CAUTION: Inspect and tighten all fluid connections regularly and replace weak or damaged hoses or other components with suitable replacements that will withstand the pressures developed.
• CAUTION: Release trigger if blocked line causes grease gun to stall. Continued operation could damage the motor.
CHARGER OPERATION:
The battery pack is not fully charged out of the carton. Read and understand all of the safety
instructions, and then follow the battery charging instructions that follow.
• Make sure power cord circuit voltage is the same as that shown on the charger. Connect
charger to the power source.
• Place small plug on the end of the charger cord into the plug hole on the back of the battery.
Do not force. When proper connection is made, the red light will glow, indicating the charger
has switched to quick-charge mode.
• Charge the battery for one full hour including quick-charge time prior to initial use.
• When the battery pack is fully charged, the red light will go out and the green light will glow.
The battery pack will continue to receive a trickle charge. Remove the battery pack from the
charger.
• Disconnect charger power cord from the power source when not charging battery pack.
• Important: Battery pack temperature will increase during and shortly after use. The battery
pack may not accept a full charge if charged immediately after use. For best results, allow the
battery pack to cool to room temperature before charging.
MAINTENANCE
• WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, always unplug the charger and remove the battery pack from the charger or tool before performing any maintenance. Never disassemble the tool,
battery pack, or charger. Refer to an authorized service facility for all repairs.
• WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury and damage, never immerse your tool, battery pack, or charger in liquid or allow a liquid to flow inside them or be splashed on them.
MAINTAINING TOOL:
a. If the tool does not start or operate at full power with a fully charged battery pack, clean the
contacts on the battery pack. If the tool still does not work properly, contact an authorized
service facility for assistance.
b. Clean excessive grease buildup from tool exterior. To reduce the risk of injury and damage,
wipe grease from tool exterior surfaces. It may become difficult to operate the tool and handle
in a safe manner if tool surfaces become grease covered. Disconnect charger from power
source and allow to cool before cleaning. Wipe surfaces with dry towel to remove grease. Do
not use water or any cleaning solvents on tool, charger or battery pack.
c. Inspect grease hose for damage, excessive bending, cracks, and cuts. Do not use damaged
or worn hoses. Replace worn or damaged hoses immediately. Use only replacement hoses
that are marked and designed for the pressures this tool can develop. Do not use any
defective, unmarked, or damaged hoses. Do not repair the grease hose. Replace if damaged.
d. Replace worn or damaged grease fittings. Replacement fittings must be capable of
withstanding the pressures developed.
WARNINGS / TIPS / WARRANTY
GENERAL SAFETY RULES - FOR ALL BATTERY OPERATED TOOLS
WARNING! READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire, and / or serious personal injury.
WORK AREA
• Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite accidents.
• Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
• Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a power tool. Distractions can
cause you to lose control.

GREASE GUN OPERATION:
• Insert fully-charged battery pack into the end of the grease gun handle by aligning the slots
in the handle with the matching boss on the battery pack. Do not force objects. Make certain
battery pack is fully engaged into handle cavity and snaps into place at battery pack latch
button. Depress tool switch momentarily to check battery pack connection to tool. To release
battery from tool handle, depress battery pack latch button until battery releases and can
be withdrawn from cavity in tool handle. Do not allow metal objects to contact battery pack
terminals while battery is not in charger or tool.
• Re-Priming: Follow procedure for cartridge loading (see "Assembly" section), but do not reload.
This procedure will allow the gun to reprime using the automatic bleeder valve. If necessary,
repeat the process until all trapped air pockets have been purged from the grease barrel.
• Connect grease coupler to standard grease zerk fitting on equipment or machinery to be
greased. Release trigger to stop grease flow. To disconnect grease coupler from zerk, angle
the coupler and use a twisting motion. If the coupler will not disengage, the tip sleeve of the
coupler can be loosened with tools to allow adjustment in the tension of the coupler gripping
the grease zerk fitting. Retighten the coupler sleeve to prevent coupler leaking.
• Operate the trigger to dispense grease. The trigger must be continuously depressed to
dispense grease. If back pressure in the grease line exceeds the 7000 psi limit, grease
will then be expelled from the pressure relief valve to limit the pressure in order to reduce
risk of motor overload and limit excessive grease pressure in grease hose. Do not exceed
specifications or alter gun to perform beyond ratings. Such misuse will void the warranty and
can result in possible injury.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY
• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil,
sharp edges or moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords may
create a fire.
• A battery operated tool with integral batteries or a separate battery pack must be recharged
only with the specified charger for the battery. A charger that may be suitable for one type of
battery may create a risk of fire when used with another battery.
• Use battery operated tool only with specifically designated battery pack. Use of any other
batteries may create a risk of fire.
