TOOL USE AND CARE
• Do not force the tool. Tools do a better and safer job when used in the manner for which
they were designed. Plan your work, and use the correct tool for the job.
• Never use a tool with a malfunctioning switch. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with
the switch is dangerous and must be repaired by an authorized service provider before
using.
• Disconnect battery from the tool and place the switch in the locked or off position before
servicing, adjusting, installing accessories or attachments, or storing. Such preventative
safety measures reduce the risk of the power tool starting by accident.
• Secure work with clamps or a vise when practical. This safety precaution allows for proper
tool operation.
• Store idle tools. When tools are not is use, store them in a dry, secure place out of the reach
of children. Inspect tools for good working condition prior to storage and before re-use.
• Use only accessories that are recommended for use with the Rechargeable Grease Gun.
Accessories that may be suitable for one tool may create a risk of injury when used on
another tool.
• This tool is a fully rated portable power lubrication product. Only accessories that are
capable of handling 7000psi should be used.
• Keep guards in place and in working order.
• Never leave the tool running unattended.
• Release the trigger if the grease gun is stalled. Holding down the trigger could damage the
motor or cause a fire.
• When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects like: paper clips,
coins, keys, nails, screws, or other small metal objects that can make a connection from one
terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals may cause sparks, burns, or a fire.
CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK
Before using the Rechargeable Grease Gun for the first time, the battery pack should be
charged for a minimum of 1.5 hours. If the battery pack is already installed in the Rechargeable
Grease Gun, remove it by following the instructions under INSTALLING or REMOVING
BATTERY PACK. As the battery pack approaches the discharged state, you will notice a sharp
drop in tool performance. When the tool is unable to perform the task at hand, it is time to
recharge the battery pack. Recharging the battery pack before this condition is reached will
reduce the total work life of the pack. Discharging the pack beyond this point can damage the
pack.
NOTE:
Battery temperature will increase during and shortly after use. Batteries may not accept
a full charge if they are charged immediately after use. Allow the battery pack to cool to room
temperature before charging for best results.
CAUTION:
Vent slots in top and bottom of charger must not be obstructed.
Do not charge battery when temperatures are BELOW 32°°°°F or ABOVE 104°°°°F.
