There are following ways to provide grease:
Installing grease cartridge
(commercially-bought) in the barrel
NOTICE:
(For A-type barrel only)
Use the grease cartridge whose brim can be
hooked on the end surface of the barrel.
NOTICE:
(For B-type/C-type barrel only)
Use the grease cartridge whose brim can be
hooked on the inside step of the barrel.
1.
Remove the barrel from the tool then fully pull the
rod handle and lock it.
2. Remove the plastic cap of the grease cartridge
and insert the grease cartridge into the barrel.
► Fig.14: 1. Grease cartridge (commercially-bought)
2. Pull tab
3.
Remove the pull tab of the grease cartridge then
install the barrel to the tool.
If there is a gap between the brim of the grease car-
tridge and the barrel, screw the barrel into the tool while
pushing the barrel forward.

4. Release the rod handle.
► Fig.16
5.
Eject the air that remains in the flow path of the
grease. (Refer to the section for ejection of air.)
Filling grease in the barrel
from a bulk container
(commercially-bought)
1. Remove the barrel from the tool.
2. Dip the tip of the barrel in the grease and then
pull the rod handle. The grease is pumped up into the
barrel.
► Fig.17: 1. Bulk container (commercially-bought)
3.
Fully pull the rod handle and lock it.
► Fig.18
4. Install the barrel to the tool and then unlock the
rod handle.
5. Eject the air that remains in the flow path of the
grease. (Refer to the section for ejection of air.)
NOTICE:
When locking the rod handle, make
sure the rod handle is locked firmly. Otherwise the
rod handle get unlocked unintentionally, the grease
comes out from the barrel.
NOTE: (For B-type/C-type barrel only)
The amount of grease filling should be below the
screw groove line. Otherwise grease will overflow
when installing the barrel to the tool.

3. Grease
You can also fill grease into the barrel using a filler
pump (commercially-bought) attached to the bulk
container.
1.
Remove the filler port plug. Attach a loader fitting
(commercially-bought) to the filler port.
2. With the barrel installed in the tool, connect the
loader fitting to the fitting of the filler pump.

(commercially-bought) 5. Fitting
3.
Operate the filler pump. The rod of the rod handle
will be pushed out as the barrel is filled with grease.
► Fig.21
4. Disconnect the loader fitting from the fitting of the
filler pump.
5. Eject the air that remains in the flow path of the
grease. (Refer to the section for ejection of air.)
WARNING:
only. Never use a high-pressure loader fitting
otherwise it may damage the tool and cause a
personal injury.
CAUTION:
Hold the tool firmly when filling the
grease by using a filler pump. The tool may fall and
cause an injury.
NOTICE:
Stop filling the grease when you see
the groove on the rod. Otherwise the grease leak-
age may occur.
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.
► Fig.22: 1. Valve
WARNING:
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.
