WARNING
Some dust created by power sanding,
sawing, grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities contains chemicals known to
cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Some examples of these chemicals are:
• lead from lead-based paint
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other
masonry products, and
• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on
how often you do this type of work. To reduce your
exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated
area, and work with approved safety equipment, such
as those dust masks that are specially designed to
lter out microscopic particles.

Do not allow battery to contact corrosive
or conductive uid
Wear face shield
Wear latex or rubber gloves
• Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected
from the battery; avoid contact. If contact ac-
cidentally occurs, ush with water. If liquid con-
tacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid
ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
• Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or
modied. Damaged or modied batteries may exhibit
unpredictable behavior resulting in re, explosion or
risk of injury.
• Do not expose a battery pack or tool to re or ex-
cessive temperature. Exposure to re or temperature
above 265°F (130°C) may cause explosion.
• Follow all charging instructions and do not charge
the battery pack or tool outside the temperature
range specied in the instructions. Charging im-
properly or at temperatures outside the specied range
may damage the battery and increase the risk of re.
SERVICE
• Have your power tool serviced by a qualied repair
person using only identical replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is
maintained.
• Never service damaged battery packs. Service of
battery packs should only be performed by the manu-
facturer or authorized service providers.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
• Use latex or rubber gloves, a face shield and pro-
tective clothing when chemicals, bacteria or other
toxic or infectious substances are suspected to be
in a drain line. Drains may contain chemicals, bacteria
and other substances that may cause burns, be toxic
or infectious or may result in other serious personal
injury.
• Practice good hygiene. Do not eat or smoke while
handling or operating the tool. After handling or
operating drain cleaning equipment, use hot, soapy
water to wash hands and other body parts exposed
to drain contents. This will help reduce the risk of health
hazards due to exposure to toxic or infectious material.
• Only use the drain cleaner for the recommended
drain sizes.
• Inspect the drain to be cleaned before use. Do not
use on pipes and ttings that are compromised. If
possible, determine the access point(s) to the drain, the
size(s) and length(s) of the drain, distance to mainlines,
the nature of the blockage, presence of drain clean-
ing chemicals or other chemicals, etc. If chemicals
are present in the drain, it is important to understand
the specic safety measures required to work around
those chemicals. Contact the chemical manufacturer
for required information.
• If needed, place protective covers in the work area.
The drain cleaning process can be messy.
• Do not point the tool towards yourself or anyone
nearby. Unexpected triggering will discharge the air
pressure causing an injury.
• Do not actuate the tool unless the tool is placed
rmly against the workpiece. If the tool is not in con-
tact with the workpiece, air pressure may be deected
away from your target.
• Do not engage in horseplay. The discharged air
pressure is capable of causing serious injury.
• Use the tool only for the intended purposes. Do
not abuse the tool.
•
WARNING
To reduce the risk of re, personal in-
jury, and product damage due to a
short circuit, never immerse your tool, battery pack or
charger in uid or allow a uid to ow inside them.
Corrosive or conductive uids, such as seawater,
3. Set the pressure gauge selector to the desired PSI
by twisting the pressure gauge cap. Set at 5 PSI for
initial use.
NOTE: To help avoid damage to pipes and ttings, start
the pressure low and work your way up.
4. Press and hold the Motor/On button for three seconds
and release. The tool will build pressure until it has
reached the desired PSI. WARNING! If the tool does
not shut down at desired pressure, or if pressure
builds into the red warning area, remove battery and
take tool into the nearest service center.
5. Place tool into drain opening, sealing the drain
with the accessory. Use force to maintain seal.
WARNING! Do not place tool in water past the water
line. Damage to the tool may occur.
6. Press the trigger rapidly, holding for one second.
7. If the clog persists, increase the PSI by 5 and repeat
steps 4-6 until the clog is cleared.
8. When done with tool, release any excess air by point-
ing the tool in a safe direction and pressing trigger
before storing.
9. After use, use hot, soapy water to wash hands and
other body parts exposed to drain contents.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury, always
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.
If the tool does not start or operate at full power with a
fully charged battery pack, clean the contacts on the bat-
tery pack. If the tool still does not work properly, return
the tool, charger and battery pack, to a MILWAUKEE
service facility for repairs.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of re, personal
injury, and product damage, never
immerse your tool, battery pack or charger in uid
or allow a uid to ow inside them.
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
parts. Some of these include gasoline, turpentine,
lacquer thinner, paint thinner, chlorinated cleaning
solvents, ammonia and household detergents contain-
ing ammonia. Never use ammable or combustible
solvents around tools. Do not pour water directly down
the discharge area.
Repairs
For repairs, return the tool, battery pack and charger to
the nearest service center.
