• When battery pack is not in use, keep it away
from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins,
keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects,
that can make a connection from one terminal
to another. Shorting the battery terminals together
may cause burns or a fire.
• Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected
from the battery; avoid contact. If contact acciden-
tally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts
eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid
ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
• Do not use a battery pack or tool that is dam-
aged or modified. Damaged or modified batteries
may exhibit unpredictable behavior resulting in fire,
explosion or risk of injury.
• Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or
excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or tem-
perature above 265°F (130°C) may cause explosion.
• Follow all charging instructions and do not charge
the battery pack or tool outside the temperature
range specified in the instructions. Charging im-
properly or at temperatures outside the specified range
may damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.
SERVICE
• Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power
tool is maintained.
• Never service damaged battery packs. Service
of battery packs should only be performed by the
manufacturer or authorized service providers.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
• Only grasp the rotating cable with gloves rec-
ommended by the manufacturer. Latex or loose
fitting gloves or rags can become wrapped around
the cable and may result in serious personal injury.
• Do not allow the cutter to stop turning while the
cable is turning. This can overstress the cable and
may cause twisting, kinking or breaking of the cable
and may result in serious personal injury.
• Use latex or rubber gloves inside the gloves rec-
ommended by the manufacturer, goggles, face
shields, protective clothing, and respirator when
chemicals, bacteria or other toxic or infectious
substances are suspected to be in a drain line.
Drains may contain chemicals, bacteria and other
substances that may cause burns, be toxic or infec-
tious or may result in other serious personal injury.
• Practice good hygiene. Do not eat or smoke
while handling or operating the tool. After
handling or operating drain cleaning equip-
ment, use hot, soapy water to wash hands and
other body parts exposed to drain contents.
This will help reduce the risk of health hazards
due to exposure to toxic or infectious material.
• Only use the drain cleaner for the recommended
drain sizes. Using the wrong size drain cleaner can
lead to twisting, kinking or breaking of the cable and
may result in personal injury.
•Only use battery operated drill in driving-mode
on low speed. Never operate above 550 RPM and
50%-drill torque. At higher settings, the cable could
break, causing injury or damage to the urinal/toilet.
• Inspect cable for wear and damage before use. Re-
place a worn or damaged cable before using the tool.
• Do not twist, kink or over bend cables. Breaking
of the cable may result in serious personal injury.
• Inspect the drain to be cleaned before use. If
possible, determine the access point(s) to the drain,
the size(s) and length(s) of the drain, distance to
mainlines, the nature of the blockage, presence of
drain cleaning chemicals or other chemicals, etc. If
chemicals are present in the drain, it is important to
understand the specific safety measures required to
work around those chemicals. Contact the chemical
manufacturer for required information.
• If needed, place protective covers in the work
area. The drain cleaning process can be messy.
•To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not use
corded drill.
• Do not operate the tool in reverse rotation except
as described in this manual. Running the tool in
reverse for extended periods can cause damage to
the cable and accessories.
•
To reduce the risk of injury, when
WARNING
working in dusty situations, wear
appropriate respiratory protection or use an
OSHA compliant dust extraction solution.
• Always use common sense and be cautious when
using tools. It is not possible to anticipate every
situation that could result in a dangerous outcome.
Do not use this tool if you do not understand these
operating instructions or you feel the work is beyond
your capability; contact Milwaukee Tool or a trained
professional for additional information or training.
• Maintain labels and nameplates. These carry
important information. If unreadable or missing,
contact a MILWAUKEE service facility for a free
replacement.
•
Some dust created by power sanding,
WARNING
sawing, grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities contains chemicals known to
cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive
harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
• lead from lead-based paint
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other
masonry products, and
• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated
lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on
how often you do this type of work. To reduce your
exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated
area, and work with approved safety equipment, such
as those dust masks that are specially designed to
filter out microscopic particles.
