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 suit
able for this product and
for others which may be
used in the other output
sockets, we recommend
the use of 2.5mm²section
cable.

IMPORTANT WARRANTY INFORMATION:
the battery pack fitted to this cordless tool are considered to
be a consumable item and its ability to accept charge will
reduce over time. We will warranty it against mechanical and
electrical defect for a period of one year - this does not cover
fair wear and tear. If the battery is not properly charged
before 1st use, or regularly conditioned, its capacity will
diminish. Under these circumstances we will not replace the
battery pack even if it is less than one year old.
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
