3.1 Specified conditions of

use This grease gun is an air-operated tool for use by craftsmen. It can be used for lubricating machines, motor vehicles, farm machinery, industrial equipment, as well as transport and conveying sys

tems. This tool shall only be powered by an air compressor. The max. permissible work- ing pressure stated in the Technical Specifications must not be exceeded. This tool must not be operated with gases that are explosive, combustible or detrimental to health. Any other use is not as specified. Use not as specified, modification of the tool or use of parts not approved by the equipment manufacturer can cause unforeseeable damage!

3.2 General safety instruc-

• When using this air tool follow the safety instructions given below, to exclude the risk of personal injury or material damage.

• Please also observe the special safety instructions in the respective chapters.

• Observe the statuary accident insur- ance institution regulations and reg- ulations for the prevention of acci- dents pertaining to the operation of air compressors and air tools, where applicable.

• Keep your work area tidy – a messy work area invites accidents.

• Always use a quick coupler to con- nect this air tool to a compressor.

• Disconnect from air supply before − filling the grease reservoir, − servicing or − when tool is left unattended.

• Hold on to the sliding rod of a removed grease reservoir when releasing the sliding rod safety. Do not let the sliding rod leap back with a jerk.

• When pulling the trigger grease will be ejected at high pressure. − Do not cover grease pipe or grease hose nozzle with your hand. − Do not point grease gun against other persons or animals. − Operate grease gun only when connected to a lubricating nipple. − Hold the grease hose during the entire greasing operation to pre- vent it from jumping off the nip- ple.

Hazard generated by insuffi- cient personal protection gear!

• Wear hearing protection.

Hazard generated by tool defects!

• Do not attempt to repair the tool yourself! Only trained specialists are permitted to service or repair com

pressors, pressure vessels and air tools.

• Protect tool, the air inlet in particular, from dust and dirt.

• Make sure that the max. permissible working pressure stated in the Tech

nical Specifications is not exceeded. The working pressure must be adjusted by a pressure regulator.

• Do not overload tool – use it only within the performance range it was designed for (see Technical Specifi

4.1 Before initial operation

• Fit the plug nipple.

4.2 Refilling the grease res-

• Refill the grease reservoir only with non-corrosive lubricants, approved for use in grease guns. Observe the manufacturer information.

• The piston may become contorted by the permanent use of cartridges. Changing the filling method after

wards could result in grease leak- age. You should opt for only one fill- ing method, if possible. Table of Contents
