WARNING
To reduce the risk of personal in-
jury, electric shock and damage,
never immerse your machine in liquid or allow a
liquid to flow inside it.
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 clean-
ing agents and solvents are harmful to plastics 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 flammable or
combustible solvents around machines.
Cleaning Cables and Drums
The cable and drum should be thoroughly flushed
with water after every use to prevent damaging ef-
fects of sediment and drain cleaning compounds.
WARNING!
Always wear leather gloves over l
atex/
rubber gloves
to avoid entanglement.
After wash-
ing, 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.
WARNING
Disassembly of the internal drum
when a cable is installed will cause
the cable to unwind quickly and could whip
around uncontrollably, which may result in injury.
Disassembly should only be performed by properly
trained personnel. Contact Milwaukee for assistance.

MILWAUKEE recommends contacting a MILWAUKEE
