MAINTENANCE
To reduce the risk of injury, always
WARNING
unplug the charger and remove the
battery pack from the charger or tool before
performing any maintenance. Never disassemble
the tool, battery pack or charger. Contact a
MILWAUKEE service facility for ALL repairs.
Maintaining Tool
Keep your tool, battery pack and charger in good
repair by adopting a regular maintenance program.
Always clean the tool before storing. Inspect your
tool for issues such as undue noise, misalignment
or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, or
any other condition that may affect the tool opera-
tion. Return the tool, battery pack, and charger to
a MILWAUKEE service facility for repair. After six
months to one year, depending on use, return the
tool, battery pack and charger to a MILWAUKEE
service facility for inspection.
If the tool does not start or operate at full power with
a fully charged battery pack, clean the contacts on
the battery pack. If the tool still does not work prop-
erly, return the tool, charger and battery pack, to a
MILWAUKEE service facility for repairs.
Gearcase Lubrication
After about 50 hrs of use, the
gearcase should be lubricated to
increase performance and extend
the life of the tool. Place the trimmer
head on its side and remove the hex
head screw. Add up to 0.4 oz of Type
Y grease (Cat. No. 49-08-5270) to
the cavity. Do not overfill. Replace
the hex head screw and tighten securely.
Maintaining the Blade
The blade is reversible. When needed, reverse or
replace the blade. Do not sharpen.
Maintaining Line
Store extra line in a sealed plastic bag with a table-
spoon of water to avoid drying or cracking. Periodi-
cally sharpen the line cutter to ensure the line does
not extend too long from the spool, which can cause
motor overload.
To reduce the risk of personal in-
WARNING
jury and damage, never immerse
your tool, battery pack or charger in liquid or
allow a liquid to flow inside them.
Clean dust and debris from any vents. Keep tool
clean, dry and free of oil or grease. Use only mild
soap and a damp cloth to clean, since certain clean-
ing agents and solvents are harmful to plastics and
other insulated parts. Some of these include gasoline,
turpentine, lacquer thinner, paint thinner, chlorinated
cleaning solvents, ammonia and household deter-
gents containing ammonia. Never use flammable or
combustible solvents around tools.
For repairs, return the tool, battery pack and charger
to the nearest authorized service center.
