Makita 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Cordless Grease Gun (Bare Tool)

Professional Performance and Reliability

The Makita 18V LXT Grease Gun is designed for professionals who demand consistent performance in demanding environments. To ensure optimal operation and longevity, we recommend the following expert maintenance practices:

Operational Best Practices

• Battery Safety: Always use genuine Makita LXT batteries and chargers. Ensure your charger matches your local voltage standards to prevent electrical hazards. Never leave charging units unattended.
• Leakage Prevention: While the unit is factory-sealed, high-pressure applications may benefit from applying high-quality thread sealant or Teflon tape to hose connections to maintain a clean workspace.
• Coupler Maintenance: If the grease fitting coupler feels overly tight, ensure it is aligned perfectly straight with the zerk fitting before engagement. Regular cleaning of the coupler mechanism prevents debris buildup and ensures smooth release.
• Flow Optimization: Before first use, inspect the nozzle for any manufacturing residue. A quick check ensures a consistent grease stream, allowing for precise lubrication of critical joints.
• Ergonomic Handling: Due to the robust motor design, the tool has a substantial feel. We recommend using the included shoulder strap during extended maintenance sessions to reduce fatigue and improve control.
