MAINTENANCE
NOTE:

could become lodged. For best performance, position
the HAMMERVAC™ either horizontally or vertically
downward (pointed at the ground) during this cycle.
Empty the dust box often.
Cleaning
Clean dust and debris from any vents. Keep tool
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-
combustible solvents around tools.
Repairs
For repairs, return the tool, battery pack and charger
to the nearest authorised service centre.
Maintaining Filter
Maintaining Tool
To reduce the risk of injury, always wear proper
eye protection marked to comply with
AS/NZS 1337.1.
When working in dusty situations, wear
appropriate respiratory protection or use a
suitable dust extraction solution.
Keep filter clean. Empty debris by holding away
from the user’s face and tapping dust box into a bin,
or other reasonable container. For best cleaning
results, connect a vacuum hose with dust extraction
adapter (Cat . No. 49901959) to the dust box port
and suction out debris. Pull the HEPA filter away
from the dust box and tap clean. Do not clean with
water or compressed air. After about 1500 holes or
loss of suction, discard and replace HEPA filter
(Cat. No. 49902306).
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,

the battery pack. If the tool still does not work
