The Hazard!
Repeatedly bending the tip of the hose to inject grease into narrow spaces can cause a hole to form near the tip of the hose, potentially leading to grease spraying out.
It can cause a potential hazard to fingers and hands if users work without protective equipment.

Stop using the product and contact Makita to arrange repair or replacement of the hose.
