1. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
INSTRUCTIONS FOR:
CORDLESS GREASE
GUN 18V
MODEL No: CPG18V
1.1. ELECTRICAL SAFETY
WARNING! It is the responsibility of the owner and the operator
to read, understand and comply with the following:
You must check all electrical products, before use, to ensure that
they are safe. You must inspect power cables, plugs, sockets and
any other connectors for wear or damage. You must ensure that the
risk of electric shock is minimised by the installation of appropriate
safety devices. A Residual Current Circuit Breaker (RCCB) should be
incorporated in the main distribution board. We also recommend that
a Residual Current Device (RCD) is used. It is particularly important
to use an RCD with portable products that are plugged into a supply
which is not protected by an RCCB. If in any doubt consult a quali-
fied electrician. You may obtain a Residual Current Device by
contacting your Sealey dealer. You must also read and understand
the following instructions concerning electrical safety.
1.1.1. The Electricity at Work Act 1989 requires that all portable
electrical appliances, if used on business premises, are
tested by a qualified electrician, using a Portable Appliance
Tester (PAT), at least once a year.
1.1.2. The Health & Safety at Work Act 1974 makes owners of
electrical appliances responsible for the safe condition of
those appliances and the safety of the appliance operators. If
in any doubt about electrical safety, contact a qualified
electrician.
1.1.3. Ensure that the insulation on all cables and on the appliance
is safe before connecting it to the power supply. See 1.1.1.
and 1.1.2. and use a Portable Appliance Tester.
1.1.4. Ensure that cables are always protected against short circuit
and overload.
1.1.5. Regularly inspect power supply cables and plugs for wear or
damage and check all connections to ensure that none is loose.
1.1.6. Important: Ensure that the voltage marked on the appliance
matches the power supply to be used and that the plug is
fitted with the correct fuse - see fuse rating above/right.
1.1.7. DO NOT pull or carry the appliance by the power cable.
1.1.8. DO NOT pull the plug from the socket by the cable.
1.1.9. DO NOT use worn or damaged cables, plugs or connectors.
Immediately have any faulty item repaired or replaced by a
qualified electrician. When a BS 1363/A UK 3 pin plug is
damaged, cut the cable just above the plug and dispose of
the plug safely. Fit a new plug according to the following
instructions (UK only). See above/right.
a) Connect the GREEN/YELLOW earth wire to the earth
terminal ‘E’.
b) Connect the BROWN live wire to the live terminal ‘L’.
c) Connect the BLUE neutral wire to the neutral terminal ‘N’.
d) After wiring, check that there are no bare wires, that
all wires have been correctly connected, that the
cable outer insulation extends beyond the cable
restraint and that the restraint is tight.
Double insulated products, which are always marked with
this symbol , are fitted with live (brown) and neutral (blue)
wires only. To rewire, connect the wires as indicated above/
right. DO NOT connect either wire to the earth terminal.
1.1.10. Products which require more than 13 amps are supplied
without a plug. In this case you must contact a qualified
electrician to ensure that a suitably rated supply is available.
We recommend that you discuss the installation of an
industrial round pin plug and socket with your electrician.
1.1.11. If an extension reel is used it should be fully unwound before
connection. A reel with an RCD fitted is preferred since any
appliance plugged into it will be protected. The cable core
section is important
and should be at
least 1.5mm², but to
be absolutely sure
that the capacity of
the reel is suitable
for this product and
for others which may
be used in the other
output sockets, we
recommend the use
of 2.5mm² section
cable.

3.1 CHARGING THE BATTERY
Important: Before using the grease gun for the first time the
battery must be charged for a minimum of 1.5 hours.
3.1.1 To charge the battery, slot the ridges on the battery into the
keyways on the charger and push on until the battery stops.
Press the red release catches inwards and push the battery
fully home until the body of the battery makes contact with the
body of the charger as shown in Fig.1. To release the battery,
simply push it off in the direction shown.
 WARNING! Do not obstruct the vents situated on the top and
bottom of the charger as this will cause the charger to
overheat.
3.1.2 Plug the charger into the mains power supply. A red LED will
light on the charger indicating that charging has commenced.
When the battery is fully charged the red LED will go out and
the green LED will illuminate. See Fig.1.
3.2 ATTACHING THE BATTERY PACK TO GREASE GUN
3.2.1 To attach the battery, line up the ridges on the battery
moulding with the keyways at the base of the handle and
slide the battery towards the grease canister until it clicks
into place.
3.2.2 To remove the battery from the unit press the two red release
catches located each side of the battery simultaneously and
slide the battery off the base of the handle.
3.3 PRIMING THE GUN
3.3.1 Before loading the gun with a cartridge or filling via a grease
bucket, the gun must be primed.
3.3.2 To prime the gun, pack grease into the cavity located
at the entrance of the gun assembly (where the grease tube
screws into the gun). When the filled grease canister is
attached, operate the trigger to induce the intake of grease
into the gun assembly.
3.4 REMOVING EMPTY GREASE CARTRIDGE
3.4.1 Fully draw back the plunger handle. When released it will
automatically be locked by the catch plate. See Fig.4J.
3.4.2 Unscrew the grease canister from the grease gun.
3.4.3 To eject the cartridge, hold the plunger handle, press the
catch plate and hold it down whilst slowly releasing the
plunger.
3.5 LOADING A NEW GREASE CARTRIDGE
3.5.1 Unscrew the grease canister from the grease gun. Eject the
old cartridge as described in section 3.4.
3.5.2 Fully draw back the plunger handle again. When released it
will automatically be locked by the catch plate. See Fig.4J.
3.5.3 Remove the base cap from the grease cartridge.
3.5.4 Insert the open end of the cartridge into the grease canister
and push it all the way in (Fig.2A). Remove the seal or pull
tab from the other end of the cartridge.
3.5.5 Pack grease into the cavity in the pump head where the
grease canister attaches.
3.5.6 Screw the grease canister into the grease gun. Press and
hold down the catch plate to release the plunger rod.
3.5.7 Purge air from the system. See Section3.9.
3.6 SUCTION FILLING
3.6.1 Unscrew the grease tube from the grease gun and eject the
cartridge, if fitted.
3.6.2 Ensure the plunger rod has been released by pressing
the catch plate. See Fig.4J.
3.6.3 Pack grease into the cavity in the pump head where the
grease canister attaches.
3.6.4 Submerge the open end of the grease canister into a grease
bucket by approximately 50mm (2”). Slowly pull out the
plunger rod whilst pushing the canister deeper into the
grease to prevent air pockets from being pulled into the
canister (Fig.2B). Continue until the rod is fully extended and
locked by the catch plate (Fig.4J).
3.6.5 Screw the grease canister back into the grease gun. Press
the catch plate and release the plunger rod.

the top of the unit (Fig.3F) and push the connector onto the
chosen grease nipple and operate the trigger until the
desired amount of grease has been dispensed.
3.8.3 When the grease gun is not in use turn the trigger locking
button (Fig 4.4) to the lower “lock” position .
3.9 ELIMINATING AIR POCKETS
3.9.1 If you encounter air pockets during operation the following
procedures can be used to eliminate them.
3.9.2 Hold down the catch plate and exert force on the plunger
(Fig 4.K), whilst pressing the vent valve (Fig 4.A).
3.9.3 Operate the trigger (Fig 4.H) in short, sharp bursts until
grease begins to flow from the connector at the end of the
flexible tube.
3.9.4 Slowly turn the thumb screw on top of the grease release
valve (Fig.3C) anticlockwise until grease and air begin to
escape from the hole in the side of the valve. When all the
air has been expelled and only grease is escaping, shut the
valve by turning the thumb screw clockwise.
3.10 READING THE BATTERY DISPLAY
3.10.1 To check the remaining battery power, press and hold down
the LED display button (Fig.3E) on the top of the grease gun.
A gauge will appear on the display (Fig.3D) showing the
percentage of battery charge left. The display has five
segments, each representing 20% of the full charge.
