4.10 Additional safety instructions

- If applicable, observe any particular health and
safety or accident prevention regulations
governing the use of compressors and
compressed air tools.
- Ensure that the maximum supply pressure speci-
fied in the Technical Specifications is not
exceeded.
- Do not overload the tool – use it only within the
performance range for which it was designed (see
"Technical Specifications").
- Use non-hazardous lubricants. Ensure the work-
place is adequately ventilated. If there is a large
amount of discharge: check the air tool and have
it repaired if necessary.
- Do not operate the tool unless you are completely
focused. You must be alert, pay attention to what
you are doing and proceed cautiously when
working with an air tool. Never use a tool when you
are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or
medication. Just one moment's carelessness
when using the tool can cause serious injury.
- Make sure your workplace is clean and well lit.
Untidy or poorly lit workplaces can cause acci-
dents.
- Keep air tools away from children.
- Do not store the tool outdoors or in damp condi-
tions without protection.
- Protect the air tool, especially the compressed air
connection and the control elements from dust
and dirt.
- Hold the plunger rod (9) of an unscrewed grease
reservoir while releasing the plunger rod catch
(10). Do not allow the plunger rod (9) to bounce
backwards.
- When you activate the grease gun, pressurised
grease is ejected.
- Do not hold the lubrication tube (1) or the lubri-
cation hose (12) with your hand.
- Do not point the grease gun at people or ani-
mals.
- Only activate the grease gun when it is en-
gaged with a lubrication nipple.
- Hold the lubrication hose (12) firmly during the
entire lubrication process to prevent it from
thrashing about.

6.1 Before using the tool for the first time
Insert plug-in nipple (8).
6.2 Filling the grease reservoir
Caution. Fill the grease reservoir (11) using
only non-corrosive lubricants that are
approved for use in grease guns. Read the instruc-
tions provided by the lubricant manufacturer.
The pressure piston may become deformed
through prolonged use of cartridges. In this case,
grease leakage may occur when you switch to
another filling method. For this reason, you should
aim to use a single, consistent filling method, if
possible.
Note:
If you change the type of grease used, you must
clean the device thoroughly before use to ensure
that the grease types are not mixed.
Filling the gun with a cartridge
1. Unscrew the grease reservoir (11), turning it
counter-clockwise to release.
2. With the open end facing upwards, insert the
cartridge into the grease reservoir (11) and
push it down.
