Ejection of air
If air remains in the flow path of the grease, the tool
cannot pour grease accurately. Eject the air before each
use and also when the tool seems to work improperly
due to air.
1. To eject air from inside of the tool, loosen the valve
for air drain. Air comes out from the hole for air
drain.
2. Fasten the valve when you see the grease coming
out of the hole.

► 1. Valve
WARNING:
Wear the protective goggles when
ejecting the air.
CAUTION:
Wipe off the grease that comes
out from the air drain with a dry cloth or the like.
Otherwise it may cause slipping and result in an
injury.
Dispensing the grease
In the following cases, purge the old grease inside the
tool before use;
— When using the tool for the first time or;
— When using different type of the grease from
previous use.
With the new grease filled in the barrel, run the tool
for a while until the old grease is pushed out from the
adapter.
NOTICE:
Do not connect the adapter to the
grease nipple until the old grease is purged. If
different kinds of grease are mixed, the performance
of the grease may decline.
NOTE: The tool has been tested at the factory and
small amount of the grease remains.
Perform the following procedure to dispense the grease.
CAUTION:
Always check the speed mode
before operation.
NOTICE:
Before connecting the adapter to the
grease nipple, always make sure that the tool
dispenses grease properly.
NOTICE:
Do not connect the adapter to the
grease nipple forcibly.
1. Wipe the adapter and the grease nipple before
connecting. Push the adapter straight at the
grease nipple.
2. Pull the switch trigger to dispense the grease.
3. When dispensing the grease is finished, remove
the adapter from the grease nipple. Tilt the
adapter slightly to release internal pressure and
then remove the adapter from the grease nipple.
Wipe off the grease from the adapter and the
grease nipple.
NOTICE:
Do not leave the tool running even after
the grease depleted. It may shorten the life of the tool.
NOTE: If the internal pressure rises while the switch
trigger is not fully pulled, the protection system works
and the motor will stop even though the tool does not
reach the maximum operating pressure. When injecting
the grease at high pressure, pull the switch trigger fully.
NOTE: The tool stops automatically when the tool
keep running for more than 6 minutes.
MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is
switched off and the battery cartridge is removed
before attempting to perform inspection or
maintenance.
NOTICE:
Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner,
alcohol or the like. Discoloration, deformation or
cracks may result.
To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY,
repairs, any other maintenance or adjustment should
be performed by Makita Authorized or Factory Service
Centers, always using Makita replacement parts.
Purge of grease

grease remains, remove the barrel and purge the old
grease in the following procedure.
1. Loosen the valve for air drain.
2. Fully pull the rod handle and lock it.
