If your Sealey Tools grease gun isn't dispensing grease, first verify that the grease tube isn't empty. If it's full, try repeating the priming operation. As a last resort, remove the check valve, then clean and inspect the valve seat.
Why Sealey CPG8V Tools motor fails to run?
If the motor of your Sealey Tools fails to run, the battery may need recharging, so try recharging it. Alternatively, there may be faulty wiring to the motor. In this case, remove the battery, disassemble the handle, and check the wiring for loose connections.
What to do if Sealey Tools grease gun continues to lose prime?
If your Sealey Tools grease gun continues to lose prime, it may be that air is trapped in locations throughout the grease tube after bulk filling. Try emptying the grease tube, refilling it, and repeating the priming operation. If the problem persists, the grease tube follower may be binding, and you should replace the grease tube.
Why pressure release valve opens to discharge grease in Sealey CPG8V Tools?
If the pressure release valve on your Sealey Tools opens to discharge grease, it could be due to a blocked line, bearing, or grease fitting. Inspect the lines, pipe joints, and grease fittings, and remove any obstructions you find.

The Sealey 8V Cordless Grease Gun, Model No: CPG8V, is a lightweight and versatile tool designed for efficient lubrication tasks, particularly suitable for on-site jobs where space is at a premium. It offers a robust 3000psi pressure output, making it effective for a variety of applications.
This cordless grease gun is primarily used for dispensing grease to lubricate mechanical components. It is compatible with both 85g/3oz and 400g/14oz grease cartridges, offering flexibility for different job requirements. The gun is supplied with two delivery nozzles: a 330mm flexible nozzle and a 175mm rigid nozzle, allowing users to choose the most appropriate option for accessing various grease nipples. Power is provided by an 8V 2Ah Lithium-ion battery, which ensures cordless operation and portability. The device includes a mains charger for convenient recharging of the battery.
The charger plug supplied with the grease gun must be used for connecting to the power supply. Users are responsible for ensuring electrical safety, including minimizing the risk of electric shock by installing appropriate safety devices like an RCCB (Residual Current Circuit Breaker) in the main distribution board and an RCD (Residual Current Device) for portable equipment. Regular inspection of the charger plug, cable, and connector for wear and damage is crucial. The charger voltage must match the power supply. The charger plug should not be pulled from the mains socket by the lead, and no other type of charger should be used with this product. The charger should not be disassembled, used to charge other electrical items, or exposed to wet or damp conditions. A standard 13amp 3-pin plug or any other plug type should never be substituted for the charger plug.
To prevent burns or fire, the battery should not be crushed, punctured, shorted externally, or disposed of in fire or water. It should not be opened, dismantled, modified, or serviced. Exposure to temperatures above 60°C (140°F) should be avoided. Used batteries must be recycled or disposed of according to local regulations.
Before changing accessories, servicing, or performing maintenance, the grease gun must be disengaged from the battery. The gun should be maintained in good condition by an authorized service agent, and only recommended parts should be used for replacement or repair. Unauthorized parts can be dangerous and void the warranty. Appropriate protective clothing should be worn, and manufacturer's instructions for handling lubricants should be followed. The gun should be used in a clean, tidy, and well-lit working area, free from unrelated materials. Users must maintain correct balance and footing, ensuring the floor is not slippery. Children and unauthorized persons must be kept away from the work area. Waste grease should be disposed of according to local authority regulations. The battery should be removed when the gun is not in use. Unauthorized persons should not operate the gun. Tampering with or opening the pump unit will void the warranty. The grease gun should never be pointed at oneself, other persons, or animals. The gun unit should not be pulled by the hose. It should not be used for tasks it is not designed for, or operated when tired or under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or intoxicating medication. When not in use, the unit should be cleaned and stored in a dry, safe, childproof area.
Before first use, the battery must be fully charged. To charge, place the battery into the charging base. The battery can only be inserted one way; if it doesn't fit, rotate it 180°. Plug the charger into the mains. A green LED will turn on. During charging, the red LED will turn on, and the green LED will turn off. Once fully charged, the red LED will turn off, and the green LED will turn on. A completely discharged battery takes approximately 2 hours to fully charge.
To install, remove the discharged battery by pressing the release buttons on the sides of the battery. Insert a fully charged battery into the battery cavity in the handle until the release buttons "click," indicating it's fully inserted. The battery can only be inserted one way; if it doesn't fit, rotate it 180°.
Thread either the rigid or flexible delivery nozzle into the front of the grease gun and tighten with a 15mm wrench. Do not overtighten.
Pull the follower rod out as far as possible until its groove engages with the slot in the end cap. Remove the plastic cap from the bottom of the grease cartridge. Insert the bottom of the cartridge into the holder and push it fully in, ensuring the top does not extend beyond the holder. Remove and peel away the tab on the top side of the grease cartridge. Be careful not to bump the spring-loaded follower rod, as it can rapidly eject grease and the cartridge.
If applicable, remove the large tube threaded adaptor (left-hand thread). Thread the loaded small cartridge into the grease gun by turning it counter-clockwise (left-hand thread), hand tight only. Release the follower rod by moving it sideways towards the center of the grease tube. Once released, slowly push the follower rod back into the cartridge.
Loading a large cartridge is similar to loading a smaller one. Pull the follower rod out as far as possible; it has a self-locking latch that will lock automatically. Repeat the steps for removing the plastic cap, inserting the cartridge, and removing the top tab as described for the small cartridge.
If applicable, remove the smaller (3oz/85g) cartridge (left-hand thread). Thread the large tube threaded adaptor into the grease gun housing by turning it counter-clockwise (left-hand thread), hand tight only. Thread the loaded large cartridge holder into the large tube threaded adaptor. Release the follower rod by pressing on the self-locking latch.
Before loading a cartridge, it is ideal to prime the gun. Pack grease into the cavity where the grease tube screws into the gun and operate the trigger. This will induce the intake of grease into the gun assembly.
To operate, push the grease coupler onto the grease nipple and squeeze the trigger until the desired amount of grease has been delivered.
If air pockets occur during operation or after installing a new cartridge, exert force on the follower rod, press the air bleeder valve, and operate the trigger in short, sharp bursts until grease flows from the grease coupler.
The grease gun should be cleaned with a clean cloth to remove dirt, dust, oil, and grease. Solvents should NOT be used to clean the grease gun.
Unwanted materials should be recycled, not disposed of as waste. Tools, accessories, and packaging should be sorted and taken to a recycling center. When the product is unserviceable, drain any fluids into approved containers and dispose of them according to local regulations. The product complies with the EU Directive on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) and should be disposed of in an environmentally protective way.
