RESIDUAL RISKS
Even when the product is used as prescribed, it is still
impossible to completely eliminate certain residual risk
factors. The following hazards may arise and the operator
should pay special attention to avoid the following:
■ Use the product only for its intended use. Do not alter or
modify the product from the original design or function.
■ Always be aware that misuse and improper handling
of the product can cause injury to yourself and others.
BLEED VALVE
See page 8.
The presence of air inside the grease tube can cause the
grease gun to stall or stop during operation. Use the bleed
valve to purge this air from the system after loading grease
or as needed during operation.
■ Remove the battery pack.
■ Loosen but do not remove the bleed valve to allow
trapped air to escape.
■ Tighten the bleed valve.
■ Install the battery pack.
■ Grasp the high pressure hose by the spring guard and
remove it from the hose clamps.
■ Point the grease coupler towards an approved grease
container.
■ Press the lock-off button to the unlocked position, and
press the switch trigger to start the flow of grease.
■ If the grease gun continues to stall and grease does not
flow, repeat these steps.
MAINTENANCE

The product should never be connected to a power
supply when assembling parts, making adjustments,

For greater safety and reliability, all repairs should be
performed by an authorised service centre.
CLEANING THE CHECK VALVE AREA
