Specific safety

Always wear eye protection. Grease injection injuries are a very seri-
ous 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 dam-
age 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.

WA R N I N G
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 accor-
dance with a standard test method provided by EN 60745 and may
be used for comparing one tool with another. The declared vibra-
tion emission value may also be used in a preliminary assessment of
exposure.
When assessing vibration exposure to determine safety measures
required by 2002/44/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.
