Milwaukee M18 FFSDC Notice Originale page 18

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.
To reduce the risk of fire, personal injury, and product damage due
to a short circuit, never immerse your tool, battery pack or charger
in fluid or al-low a fluid to flow inside them. Corrosive or conductive
fluids, such as seawater, certain industrial chemicals, and bleach or
GB
bleach containing products, etc., Can cause a short circuit.
Use only System M18 chargers for charging System M18 battery
packs. Do not use battery packs from other systems.
Never break open battery packs and chargers and store only in dry
rooms. Keep dry at all times.

of overheating).
The contacts of chargers and battery packs must be kept clean.
For an optimum life-time, the battery packs have to be fully
charged, after use.
To obtain the longest possible battery life remove the battery pack
from the charger once it is fully charged.
For battery pack storage longer than 30 days: Store the battery
pack where the temperature is below 27°C and away from moisture
Store the battery packs in a 30% - 50% charged condition Every six
months of storage, charge the pack as normal.

Ensure that battery contact terminals are protected and insulated
to prevent short circuit. Ensure that battery pack is secured against
movement within packaging. Do not transport batteries that are
cracked or leak. Check with forwarding company for further advice
BATTERY PACK PROTECTION
In extremely high torque, binding, stalling and short circuit situa-
tions that cause high current draw, the tool will vibrate for about 5
seconds, the fuel gauge will flash,and then the tool will turn OFF.
To reset, release the trigger.
Under extreme circumstances, the internal temperature of the
battery pack could raise too much. If this happens, the fuel gauge
will flash until the battery pack cooled down. After the lights go off,
the work may continue.
Place the battery on the charger to charge and reset it.
ADDITIONAL HINTS FOR OPERATION
For normal operation see picture section.
Continue to feed the cable into the drain using a back and forth
motion until the obstruction is cleared.
NOTE: If the tool binds, release pressure from the foot pedal
immediately.
To unbind drain cleaner:
Withdraw the tool a few centimeters while in reverse to free the
cable.
Stop the tool and after the tool has come to a complete stop, switch
back to the forward direction.
CAUTION Extended operation of the tool in reverse can cause
damage to the cable and accessories.
CABLE INSTALLATION
