Greasing the Ball Screws
If the feed handle movement
begins to stick, apply grease to
the three (3) ball screws where
they contact the cavity.
1. Unarm the machine.
2. Apply a dab of MILWAUKEE
Grease Type T (49-08-4290)
to both sides of cavity in all
three locations around the
cable feed handle.
Oiling the Cable Feed Bearings
Keep all exposed, moving, and rotating parts cleaned
properly oiled after each use.
1. Unarm the machine.
2. Press the quick release
button.
3. Use a hose to clean out
the cable feed with clean
water to remove contami-
nants. Drain the drum
completely.
4. Move the cable feed
handle to the left and ap-
ply a penetrating oil, like
WD-40 , into the nose of the cable feed directly
®
onto all three bearings. Sufficiently cover all the
bearing seals.
5. Move the cable feed handle to the right and repeat.
6. Press the ratchet lever down and then feed and
retract the cable 1-2 feet multiple times to work
the oil around.
7. Repeat after each use.
Cleaning Cables and Drums
The cable and drum should be thoroughly flushed with
water after every use to prevent damaging effects of
sediment and drain cleaning compounds. WARNING!
Always wear leather gloves over latex/rubber gloves
to avoid entanglement. After washing, dry the cable
and drum completely. Then, wipe cable with an oiled
rag before returning it to the drum according to the
instructions in "Cable Installation".
Bound or Knotted Cable
If the cable cannot be pulled from the nose of the
machine, it may be bound or knotted in the drum. To
correct this, the drum may need to be disassembled.
Disassembly of the internal drum
WARNING
when a cable is installed will cause
the cable to unwind quickly and could whip
around uncontrollably, which may result in in-
jury.
Disassembly should only be performed by properly
trained personnel. Contact Milwaukee for assistance.

Due to the precise torque fastener requirements,
MILWAUKEE recommends contacting a MILWAUKEE
service facility for anchor cable replacement. If field

from the anchor cable. WARNING! Do not open
drum with cable installed.

cover.
4. Remove the 10 M5 screws holding the front inter-
nal drum to the rear internal drum.
5. Remove the 1/4"-20 nut and bolt holding the an-
chor cable into the drum.
6. Pull the anchor cable out through the nose of the
cable feed by hand. Do not turn on the machine.
7. Feed the new anchor cable in through the nose
of the cable feed by hand. Do not turn on the
machine.
8. Ensure the cable is following the curve of the feed
tube when lying in the drum.
9. Align the anchor cable with the stop and insert the
1/4"-20 bolt. Thread the 1/4"-20 nut onto the bolt
and tighten securely.
10. Realign the front and rear internal drums.

to 21-23 in-lbs.

Cleaning the Battery and Battery Bay
