The 2-speed design allows the user to select the right speed, pressure, and flow rate for the application. It delivers a max pressure of 690 bar/10,000psi to cope with clogged grease fittings. Designed for professional mechanics, plant operators, agricultural users, and maintenance engineers, it's ideally suited for high-flow applications. The powerful internal pump can deliver up to 255 ml of grease per minute in high-flow mode, making quick work of regular servicing on vehicles, machinery, and heavy equipment. Its variable speed trigger and two selectable speed settings give you full control over grease output, allowing you to switch easily between high-pressure performance for blocked fittings and high-flow efficiency for everyday maintenance jobs. A built-in bleeder valve allows trapped air to be released quickly and easily, ensuring consistent grease flow and minimal downtime. Accessing difficult grease points is simple thanks to the 1.2m flexible hose, which provides excellent reach and manoeuvrability around confined or awkward areas. The hose is reinforced with coil protection at both ends for added durability in demanding working environments. There is also an integrated LED work light, ideal for work in low-light conditions. Bare Unit - NO battery or charger supplied. Specifications: Max. Operating Pressure: 690 bar. Flow Rate (Slow/Auto Speed): 255ml/min. Grease Capacity: Cartridge 410g, Bulk 455g. Weight: 2.3kg.

Troubleshooting
Grease gun not dispensing grease.
Check that the battery is properly inserted and charged. Ensure the grease cartridge is loaded correctly and the follower rod is making contact. Try operating the variable speed trigger to ensure it's not set to zero flow. Use the bleeder valve to release any trapped air.
Low grease output or slow flow.
Confirm the correct speed setting is selected for the application. Ensure the grease viscosity is suitable for the ambient temperature. Check for blockages in the hose or coupler. Bleed any trapped air from the system.
Grease leaks from the gun or hose connection.
Inspect the grease cartridge seal and ensure it is properly seated. Check the coupler for damage and ensure it is securely attached to the grease fitting. Verify that hose connections are tight.
Excessive air in the system.
Use the built-in bleeder valve to release trapped air. Ensure the follower plate in the cartridge is making proper contact with the grease.
