GENERAL SAFETY RULES - FOR ALL BATTERY OPERATED TOOLS

WARNING! READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS.

Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, ﬁre,

WORK AREA

• Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite accidents.

• Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of ﬂammable liquids, gases, or dust.

Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.

• Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords may create a ﬁre.

• A battery operated tool with integral batteries or a separate battery pack must be recharged only with the speciﬁed charger for the battery. A charger that may be suitable for one type of battery may create a risk of ﬁre when used

with another battery.

• Use battery operated tool only with speciﬁcally designated battery pack. Use of any other batteries may create a risk of ﬁre.

PERSONAL SAFETY

• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use tool while tired or under the inﬂuence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in

serious personal injury.

• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

• Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is in the locked or off position before inserting battery pack. Carrying tools with your ﬁnger on the switch or inserting the battery pack into a tool with the switch on invites accidents.

• Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the tool on. A wrench or a key that is left attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury.

• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and balance enables 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.

TOOL USE AND CARE

• Use clamps or other practical way to secure and support the work piece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body is unstable and may lead to loss of control.

• Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The correct tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed.

• Do not use the tool if switch does not turn it on or off. A tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

• Disconnect battery pack from tool or place the switch in the locked or off position before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.

• Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

• 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 the battery terminals together may cause sparks, burns, or a ﬁre.

• Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained tools with sharp cutting edge are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

• Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition that may affect the tool’s operation. If damaged, have the tool serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.

• Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model. Accessories that may be suitable for one tool may create a risk of injury when used on another tool.

SERVICE

• Tool service must be performed only by qualiﬁed repair personnel. Service or maintenance performed by unqualiﬁed personnel may result in a risk of injury.

• When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow instructions in the Maintenance section of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow Maintenance Instructions may create a risk of shock or injury.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

• DANGER: Because of the high working pressures developed by this gun, the possibility of

grease injection into the ﬂesh, or an eye, is a potential hazard. Never allow any part of the human body to come in front of, or in direct contact with a grease discharge outlet or potential hose rupture. Never point the nozzle of the gun at yourself or toward anyone else. If accidental grease injection should occur, seek Immediate Emergency Medical Attention. DO NOT try to treat the injury yourself! If injection occurs, provide grease product information to medical personnel. Be

certain that any and all system components will withstand the pressures being developed. Never exceed the pressure rating of any component in the system. Inspect all hoses and ﬁttings before each use. Weak, worn, or damaged hoses are a hazard.

• WARNING: Before each use, inspect hoses for signs of wear, leaks, or loose ﬁttings. Inspect and tighten all ﬂuid connections regularly and replace weak or damaged hose. Do not use any defective, unmarked, or damaged hoses.

Do not repair the grease whip hose. Replace if damaged. Most injections occur because of component rupture. Any cuts or sharp bends in hose can rupture and cause personal injury. Use only components that will withstand the pressures being developed.

• WARNING: Do not adjust relief pressure valve.

• WARNING: Wear safety goggles or other eye protection. Grease gun can develop high pressure – up to 6000 psi (408 bar). Use safety glasses and gloves for protection during operation. Grease leaks under pressure can penetrate the eyes and skin. Keep grease products away from eyes. Consult grease product labeling for safety precautions.

• CAUTION: Keep hands and ﬁngers clear of the exposed rubber or plastic portion of hose. Extreme pressure may cause nozzle extension or hose to burst.

• CAUTION: Wipe up any dripped or spilled grease residue and keep work area clean. Grease on ﬂoor surfaces can be slippery and cause loss of footing and possible injury.

Functional Description

The Legacy 12 V DC battery-powered, cordless grease gun allows convenient high-pressure greasing at grease pressures up to 6000 psi, utilizing a motor and set of gears to develop pressure for dispensing grease as a single-action, positive displacement pump. The gun is operated (after grease-loading) by squeezing the triggers to dispense grease either freely from the grease nozzle (standard zerk coupler) or by engaging the grease coupler onto standard grease zerk ﬁttings on equipment andmachinery for high-pressure greasing. The gun is equipped with a pressure-relief valve to limit grease pressure to 6000 psi to reduce risk of motor overload, tool damage, and to extend battery life. Additionally, an automatic bleeder valve bleed trapped air in the grease barrel to make priming faster and easier. Do not exceed speciﬁcations or alter gun to perform beyond ratings. Such misuse will void warranty.
