Explanation of signal
words for safety
Safety
Read and carefully observe these installation
instructions before installing/operating/
troubleshooting the assembly. The assembly
must be installed, maintained and repaired
exclusively by persons familiar with the
instructions.
Install the assembly only after safety
instructions and this guide have been read
and are completely understood.
Adequate personal protection must be
used to prevent splashing of material on the
skin or in the eyes.
Always disconnect power source (electri-
city, air or hydraulic) from the pump when it
is not being used.
This equipment generates very high
grease pressure. Extreme caution should be
used when operating this equipment as
material leaks from loose or ruptured com-
ponents can inject fluid through the skin and
into the body. If any fluid appears to
penetrate the skin, seek attention from a
doctor immediately.
Do not treat injury as a simple cut. Tell
attending doctor exactly what type of fluid
was injected.
Any other use not in accordance with
instructions will result in loss of claim for
warranty or liability.
• Do not misuse, over-pressurize, modify
parts, use incompatible chemicals, fluids,
or use worn and/or damaged parts.
• Do not exceed the stated maximum wor-
king pressure of the pump or of the lowest
rated component in your system.
• Always read and follow the fluid manu-
facturer’s recommendations regarding
fluid compatibility, and the use of protec-
tive clothing and equipment.
• Failure to comply may result in personal
injury and/or damage to equipment.


WARNING
Read all safety warnings and instruc-
tions. Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions may result in electric shock,
fire and/or serious injury.
Safety instructions
General power tool safety
warnings
2 Electrical safety
2.1 Power tool plugs must match the
outlet. Never modify plug in any
way. Do not use any adapter plugs
with earthed (grounded) power
tools. Unmodified plugs and
matching outlets will reduce risk of
electric shock.
2.2 Avoid body contact with earthed
or grounded surfaces such as
pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased
risk of electric shock if your body is
earthed or grounded.
2.3 Do not expose power tools to rain
or wet conditions. Water entering a
power tool will increase the risk of
electric shock.
2.4 Do not abuse the cord. Never use
cord for carrying, pulling or
unplugging the power tool. Keep
cord away from heat, oil, sharp
edges or moving parts. Damaged
or entangled cords increase the risk
of electric shock.
2.5 When operating a power tool
outdoors, use an extension cord
suitable for outdoor use. Use of
cord suitable for outdoor use
reduces risk of electric shock.
2.6 If operating a power tool in a
damp location is unavoidable, use
a residual current device (RCD)
protected supply. Use of an RCD
reduces the risk of electric shock.
NOTE The term "residual current
device (RCD)" can be replaced by the
term "ground fault circuit interrupter
(GFCI)" or "earth leakage circuit
breaker (ELCB)".
3 Personal safety
3.1 Stay alert, watch what you are
doing and use common sense
when operating a power tool. Do
not use a power tool while you are
tired or under the influence of
drugs, alcohol or medication. A
moment of inattention while
operating power tools may result in
serious personal injury.
3.2 Use personal protective
equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Protective equipment
such as a dust mask, non-skid safety
shoes, hard hat or hearing
protection used for appropriate
conditions will reduce personal
injuries.
3.3 Prevent unintentional starting.
Ensure the switch is in the off-
position before connecting to
power source and/or battery pack,
picking up or carrying the tool.
Carrying power tools with your
finger on the switch or energising
power tools that have the switch on
invites accidents.
3.4 Remove any adjusting key or
wrench before turning the power
tool on. A wrench or a key left
attached to a rotating part of power
tool may result in personal injury.
3.5 Do not overreach. Keep proper
footing and balance at all times.
This enables better control of the
power tool in unexpected situations
3.6 Dress properly. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewellery. Keep your
hair and clothing away from
moving parts. Loose clothes,
jewellery or long hair can be caught
in moving parts.
3.7 If devices are provided for the
connection of dust extraction and
collection facilities, ensure these
are connected and properly used.
Use of dust collection can reduce
dust-related hazards
3.8 Do not let familiarity gained from
frequent use of tools allow you to
become complacent and ignore
tool safety principles. A careless
action can cause severe injury within
a fraction of a second.
Save all warnings and instructions for
future reference. The term "power tool" in
warnings refers to mains-operated (corded)
power tool or battery-operated (cordless
power tool.
1 Work area safety
1.1 Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
1.2 Do not operate power tools in
explosive atmospheres, such as in
presence of flammable liquids,
gases or dust. Power tools create
sparks which may ignite the dust or
fumes.
1.3 Keep children and bystanders
away while operating power tool.
Distractions can cause loss of
control.
Intended use
These grease guns have been exclusively
designed to pump and dispense lubricant
using battery power. Do not exceed the
maximum specification ratings.


4 Power tool use and care
4.1 Do not force the power tool. Use
correct power tool for your
application. The correct power tool
will do the job better and safer at the
rate for which it was designed.
4.2 Do not use the power tool if the
switch does not turn it on and off.
Any power tool that cannot be
controlled with the switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.
4.3 Disconnect the plug from the
power source and/or remove the
battery pack, if detachable, from
the power tool before making any
adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power
tools. Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting
the power tool accidentally.
4.4 Store idle power tools out of the
reach of children and do not allow
persons unfamiliar with power
tool or these instructions to
operate the power tool. Power
tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
4.5 Maintain power tools and
accessories. Check for
misalignment or binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts
and any other condition that may
affect power tool's operation. If
damaged, have the power tool
repaired before use. Many
accidents are caused by poorly
maintained power tools.
4.6 Keep cutting tools sharp and
clean. Properly maintained cutting
tools with sharp cutting edges are
less likely to bind and are easier to
control.
4.7 Use the power tool, accessories
and tool bits etc. in accordance
with these instructions, taking
into account the working
conditions and the work to be
performed. Use of the power tool
for operations different from those
intended could result in a hazardous
situation.
4.8 Keep handles and grasping
surfaces dry, clean and free from
oil and grease. Slippery handles
and grasping surfaces do not allow
for safe handling and control of the
tool in unexpected situations.
5 Battery tool use and care
5.1 Recharge only with the battery
charger specified by the
manufacturer. A charger that is
suitable for one type of battery pack
may create a risk of fire when used
with another battery pack.
5.2 Use power tools only with
specifically designated battery
packs. Use of any other battery
packs may create a risk of injury and
fire.
5.3 When battery pack is not in use,
keep it away from other metal
objects, like paper clips, coins,
keys, nails, screws or other small
metal objects, that can make a
connection from one terminal to
another. Shorting battery terminals
together may cause burns or fire.
5.4 Under abusive conditions, liquid
may be ejected from the battery;
avoid contact. If contact
accidentally occurs, flush with
water. If liquid contacts eyes,
additionally seek medical help.
Liquid ejected from the battery may
cause irritation or burns.
5.5 Do not use a battery pack or tool
that is damaged or modified.
Damaged or modified batteries may
exhibit unpredictable behaviour
resulting in fire, explosion or risk of
injury.
5.6 Do not expose a battery pack or
tool to fire or excessive
temperature. Exposure to fire or
temperature above  °C may
cause explosion. NOTE the
temperature " °C" may be
replaced by temperature " °F".
5.7 Follow all charging instructions
and do not charge the battery
pack or tool outside the
temperature range specified in the
instructions. Charging improperly
or at temperatures outside the
specified range may damage the
battery and increase the risk of fire.
6 Service
6.1 Have your power tool serviced by
a qualified repair person using
only identical replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the
power tool is maintained.
6.2 Never service damaged battery
packs. Service of battery packs
should only be performed by the
manufacturer or authorized service
providers.

injuries are a very serious injury. Hold the
hose only in the area of the spring guard.
Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is
not depressed when inserting battery pack.
Replace the hose at the first sign of wear,
kink or damage to the outside jacket.
Do not bend the hose so that it becomes
kinked.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times. Proper footing and
balance enable better control of the tool in
unexpected situations.
Use safety equipment. Always wear eye
protection.
Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard
hat or hearing protection must be used for
appropriate conditions.
The gun uses lubricants that may be
flammable and poisonous if ingested. Do not
use gun near open flame or other fire
hazards.
Greases are often marketed as high
temperature because it must maintain their
lubricating properties in hot areas, but the
lubricants may be flammable if the
temperature is too high. Please read all
warnings on lubricants before using this
gun. Do not use flammable greases with this
grease gun.
Residual risks
Additional residual risks may arise when
using the tool which may not be included in
the enclosed safety warnings. These risks
can arise from misuse, prolonged use, etc.
Even with the application of the relevant
safety regulations and the implementation
of safety devices, certain residual risks can
not be avoided. These include:
• Injuries caused by touching any rotating/
moving parts.
• Injuries caused when changing any parts,
blades or accessories.
• Injuries caused by prolonged use of a tool.
When using any tool for prolonged periods
ensure you take regular breaks.
• Impairment of hearing.
• Health hazards caused by breathing dust
developed when using your tool (example:
working with wood, especially oak, beech
and MDF.)
WARNING
Do not use any hose not approved by
Alemite. Extreme pressure may cause
nozzle extension or whip hose to burst.
Replace hose at first sign of wear,
kinks, or damage to outside jacket.
Follow whip hose instructions and
warnings. Failure to comply may result
in serious injury or death.
WARNING
Grease gun can develop high pressure.
Use safety glasses and gloves for pro-
tection during operation. Keep hands
clear of exposed rubber portion of hose.
WARNING
Vibration emission value during actual
use of power tool can differ from
declared value depending on ways in
which the tool is used. Vibration level
may increase above level stated.
Vibration
The declared vibration emission values
stated in the technical data and the
declaration of conformity have been
measured in accordance with a standard test
method provided by EN  and may be
used for comparing one tool with another.
The declared vibration emission value may
also be used in a preliminary assessment of
exposure.
When assessing vibration exposure to
determine safety measures required by
//EC to protect persons regularly
using power tools in employment,
an estimation of vibration exposure should
consider the actual conditions of use and the
way the tool is used, including taking account
of all parts of the operating cycle such as the
times when the tool is switched off and when
it is running idle in addition to the trigger
time.

operating the trigger several times.
Should grease fail to appear, air must be
bled.
Force prime
This process manually assists air within the
gun to be bled at the bleed valve.
1 Pull the follower rod and engage the
follower by rotating the rod.
2 Depress bleed valve (32) and at the same
time push on the follower rod.
3 When air is eliminated, operate gun sev-
eral times.
4 Once grease appears, disengage fol-
lower rod from follower and push into
grease cylinder.
Check valve contamination
Should the gun fail to prime; the outlet check
may be held open. Remove plug (44), clean
ball (41), and the ball seat of head (21).
CAUTION
The loader fitting on the gun must mate
with the loader coupler. The pump may
not operate if the components are not
compatible.
WARNING
The gun can be equipped with an
optional low-pressure loader fitting
B. Do not substitute with a
high-pressure grease fitting.
Personal injury can occur due to exces-
sive pressure.
The use of a grease fitting will void the
warranty.

Speed selection
The gun is equipped with a two speed
electronic transmission to provide a high and
low flow rate, refer to Specifications for
performance at each speed. The gun is in
high speed when “” is shown on the slide
switch (50), see figure for illustration.
Maximum pressure can be achieved in both
high (2) and low speed (1) (→fig. 2).

LCD functions
The liquid crystal display (LCD) (46) features
an electronic grease meter, grease level
gauge, and battery level indicator. To turn
the LCD ON, tap the reset button (49) one
time (→fig. 2).
To enter reset mode, press and hold the
reset button. After  seconds the digits of the
grease meter begin to flash, unit of measure
(oz/g).
Releasing the reset button when grease
meter digits is flashing will reset the meter to
zero, releasing the button while the grease
cylinder level segments are flashing will
restore the gauge to full, and releasing the
button while the unit of measure is flashing
will change unit of measure.
Stall indication
During stall condition (in the case of a
clogged fitting or line) the gun will stop
pumping grease and the LCD display will be
illuminated with Red backlight. If this condi-
tion occurs, release trigger immediately.
Inspect, clean, and/or fix the grease passage
before trying to dispense grease into the
system.
NOTE*
Grease gun is equipped with software to
protect motor. Software will cut power
to motor and LCD will light with solid red
backlight when blocked bearing, line, or
grease fitting causes gun to stall.
Release trigger immediately if this
situation occurs.
For maximum motor life, avoid
operating at stall.
Failure to comply may result in
property damage.
NOTE*
Grease gun will automatically switch
from low speed 1to high speed 2
around   psi (241 bar) to obtain a
higher pressure.
Loss of prime indication
Loss of prime occurs when there is an air
pocket in the grease or when the grease
cylinder is empty. When this occurs the LCD
screen will flash Red to indicate that the gun
is not pumping grease. During loss of prime
the grease meter does not count empty
piston strokes.
Gun operation
Battery (39) is intentionally shipped with a
low charge. Charge the Battery prior to use.
