DRAIN CLEANER SAFETY WARNINGS

Always use the rear guide hose while operating the tool
and ensure the cable doesnot extend beyond the rear guide
hose. This prevents the cable from whipping which may result in
entanglement and personal injury.
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 grasp the rotating cable with gloves recommended
by the manufacturer. Latex or loose fitting gloves or rags can
become wrapped around the cable and may result in serious
GB
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 recommended
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 infectious 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 equipment, 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.

Additional Safety and Working Instructions

Keep a gloved hand on the cable whenever the tool is run-
ning. This provides better control of the cable and helps prevent
twisting, kinking or breaking of the cable and may result in serious
personal injury.
Inspect cable for wear and damage before use. Replace a
worn or damaged cable before using the drain cleaner.
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, deter-
mine 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.
Do not operate this tool if the user or tool is standing in
water. Operating the tool while in water increases the risk of
electric shock.
If needed, place protective covers in the work area. The drain
cleaning process can be messy.

Make sure cable is fully retracted outside of the drain
cleaner. This will prevent whipping at start up.
Place the drain cleaner at a distance no greater than 60 cm
from drain opening. If the drain cleaner cannot be placed
within two feet from the drain opening, the drain opening
will need to be extended using a similar size pipe and
fittings. Greater distances can cause control problems leading to
twisting, kinking or breaking of the cable.
One person must control both the trigger switch and cable.
If the tool stops rotating, the user must be able to turn the tool off
to prevent twisting, kinking, breaking or whipping of the cable.
Do not operate the drain cleaner 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.
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.
WARNING! Some dust created by power sanding, 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 ventila-
ted area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those
dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic
particles.
Use protective equipment. Always wear safety glasses when
working with the machine. The use of protective clothing is recom-
mended, such as dust mask, protective gloves, sturdy non-slip
footwear, helmet and ear defenders.
The dust produced when using this tool may be harmful to health.
Do not inhale the dust. Wear a suitable dust protection mask.
Do not machine any materials that present a danger to health (e.g.
asbestos).
Switch the device off immediately if the insertion tool stalls! Do
not switch the device on again while the insertion tool is stalled,
as doing so could trigger a sudden recoil with a high reactive force.
Determine why the insertion tool stalled and rectify this, paying
heed to the safety instructions.
Remove the battery pack before starting any work on the
appliance.
Do not dispose of used battery packs in the household refuse or
by burning them. Milwaukee Distributors offer to retrieve old
batteries to protect our environment.
Do not store the battery pack together with metal objects (short
circuit risk).
Battery acid may leak from damaged batteries under extreme load
or extreme temperatures. In case of contact with battery acid wash
it off immediately with soap and water. In case of eye contact rinse
thoroughly for at least 10 minutes and immediately seek medical
attention.
