MAINTENANCE
WARNING

unplug the charger and remove the
battery pack from the charger or tool before per
-
forming any maintenance. Never disassemble the
tool, battery pack or charger. Contact a MILWAUKEE
service facility for ALL repairs.
Maintaining Tool
Keep your tool, battery pack and charger in good repair
by adopting a regular maintenance program. Inspect
your tool for issues such as undue noise, misalignment
or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, or any
other condition that may affect the tool operation. Return
the tool, battery pack, and charger to a MILWAUKEE
service facility for repair. After six months to one year,
depending on use, return the tool, battery pack and
charger to a MILWAUKEE service facility for inspection.

service facility for repairs.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of personal injury

Cleaning
Clean dust and debris from vents. Keep handles clean,
dry and free of oil or grease. Use only mild soap and a
damp cloth to clean, since certain cleaning agents and
solvents are harmful to plastics and other insulated

lacquer thinner, paint thinner, chlorinated cleaning sol-
vents, ammonia and household detergents containing
ammonia. Never use flammable or combustible solvents
around tools.
Cleaning Cable and Bucket
The cable should be thoroughly flushed with water after
every use to prevent damaging effects of sediment and
drain cleaning compounds. The bucket should also be
cleaned regularly.

it to the drum according to the instructions in "Cable
