WORK AREA
•
Keep work area clean, free of clutter, and well lit. Cluttered and dark work areas can cause
accidents.
•
Do not use your tool where there is a risk of causing a fire or an explosion; e.g. in the
presence of flammable liquids, gasses, or dust. Power tools create sparks, which may ignite
the dust or fumes.
•
Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause
you to lose control, so visitors should remain at a safe distance from the work area.
•
Be aware of all power lines, electrical circuits, water pipes, and other mechanical hazards in
your work area, particularly those hazards below the work surface hidden from the
operator’s view. These may be unintentionally contacted and can cause bodily injury or
property damage.
•
Be aware of your surroundings. Using power tools in confined work areas may put you
dangerously close to cutting tools and rotating parts.
•
Do not operate power tools in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. The
rechargeable grease gun can create sparks that may ignite the dust or fumes. Keep
bystanders, children and visitors away during operation. Distractions can cause you to make
mistakes.
CHARGER & BATTERY
•
A battery operated rechargeable grease gun with a spare battery pack must be recharged
only with the specified battery charger. A charger that may be suitable for one type of battery

•
Before using a battery charger, read all instructions and cautionary markings on the battery
pack, battery charger, battery and Rechargeable Grease Gun.

Do not expose charger to rain, snow, or frost.
• Do not pull on or otherwise abuse cord. Never pull charger by the cord when disconnecting.
Replace a damaged or worn power cord immediately.
•
Do not attempt to repair the power cord.
•
Make sure cord is located so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise
subjected to damage or stress.

sure:
A.
The extension cord is properly wired and in good condition.
B.
Wire size of cord is at least as specified in the following chart:
C.
