WARNING!
To reduce the risk of injury,
electric shock and damage to the
tool, never immerse your tool in
liquid or allow a liquid to flow in-
side the tool.
Maintaining tools
Keep your tool in good repair by adopting a
regular maintenance program. Before use,
examine the general condition of your tool.
Inspect guards, switches, tool cord set and
extension cord for damage. Check for
loose screws, misalignment, binding of
moving parts, improper mounting, broken
parts and any other condition that may af-
fect its safe operation. If abnormal noise
or vibration occurs, turn the tool off imme-
diately and have the problem corrected be-
fore further use. Do not use a damaged
tool. Tag damaged tools “DO NOT USE” until
repaired (see “Repairs”).
Under normal conditions, relubrication is
not necessary until the motor brushes
need to be replaced. After six months to
one year, depending on use, return your
tool to the nearest MILWAUKEE service
facility for the following:
• Lubrication
• Brush inspection and replacement
• Mechanical inspection and cleaning
(gears, spindles, bearings, housing,
etc.)
• Electrical inspection (switch,cord,
armature, etc.)
• Testing to assure proper mechanical
and electrical operation
Cleaning
Clean dust and debris from vents. Keep
the tool handles clean, dry and free of oil
or grease. Use only mild soap and a damp
cloth to clean your tool since certain clean-
ing agents and solvents are harmful to plas-
tics 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 flam-
mable or combustible solvents around
tools.

If the cable becomes kinked, it can be re-
paired by cutting off the damaged portion
and attaching a replacement bulb.

Replacement bulb

1.
To install the replacement bulbs, cut
the cable off below the kinked portion.
2.
Grind or file off all burrs remaining on
the cable.
3.
Using a screwdriver, slightly spread
apart the coils on the cable. This will
make it easier to thread on the replace-
ment bulb.
4.
Manually screw on the replacement
bulb. The bulb end must be facing
away from the coil.
5.
Tighten the replacement bulb onto the
steel cable using a pliers or a vice
grips. It is not necessary to weld the
bulb onto the cable since it is a right
hand coiled cable. When pressure is
applied during pipe cleaning, the bulb
tightens on to the cable.
Installing replacement couplings on
core cables
1.
Make sure the end of the cable is
ground flat.
2.
Place the end of the cable into a vice
so that it extends beyond the vise jaws
by 2 inches. Tighten securely.
3.
Drill out the plasticore center using the
proper drill bit (see Drill Size Chart ).
Operate drill with a fast “in and out”
motion until the center of the cable is
clear of plastic to the specified depth
and diameter (see Drill Size Chart).
This generally takes 25-30 seconds.
When clear, tap the end of the cable
several times to knock out any plastic
or metal wire chips.
4.
Using a vise grip, thread the coupling
into the drill hole until the shoulder on
the coupling is snug against the face
of the cable.
NOTE: Do not over torque. A flush fit is
all that is required.
