Use and Care Manual

3
• Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected
from the battery; avoid contact. If contact ac-
cidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid
contacts 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 dam-
aged 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
excessive temperature. Exposure to re or tem-
perature 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
manufacturer or authorized service providers.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES FOR
SEWER MACHINES
• Only grasp the rotating cable with gloves rec-
ommended by the manufacturer. Latex or loose
tting gloves or rags can become wrapped around
the cable and may result in serious personal injury.
• Do not allow the cutter to stop turning while the
cable is turning. This can overstress the cable and
may cause twisting, kinking or breaking of the cable
and may result in serious personal injury.
•One person must control both the cable and the
switch. If the cutter stops rotating, the operator must
be able to turn the tool o󰀨 to prevent the cable from
twisting, kinking and breaking.
• Use latex or rubber gloves inside the gloves rec-
ommended by the manufacturer, goggles, face
shields, protective clothing, and respirator 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 infec-
tious 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 equip-
ment, 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. Using the wrong size drain cleaner can
lead to twisting, kinking or breaking of the cable and
may result in personal injury.
• Inspect cable for wear and damage before use.
Replace a worn or damaged cable before using the
drain cleaner.
• Do not twist, kink or over bend cables. Breaking
of the cable may result in serious personal injury.
• Inspect the drain to be cleaned before use. 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 cleaning 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.
• Make sure cable is fully retracted inside of the
drain cleaner. This will prevent whipping at start up.
• Place the drain cleaner at a distance no greater
than two feet from drain opening. If the drain
cleaner cannot be placed within two feet from the
drain opening, the drain opening will need to be
extended using a similar size pipe and ttings.
Greater distances can cause control problems leading
to twisting, kinking, breaking or whipping of the cable.
• Do not operate the drain cleaner in reverse rota-
tion except as described in this manual. Running
the tool in reverse for extended periods can cause
damage to the cable and accessories.
• Always wear leather gloves to avoid entangle-
ment and snagging on the moving cable.
• Keep bystanders away when using the MXF501
POWERTREDZ™ lift assist. Loss of control could
cause injury. Using lift assist is a one-person operation.
• Use two people whenever it is necessary to lift
or carry the machine. Machine is heavy. Lift with
legs, not back.
•Always clear the area of obstructions before
transporting.
• Keep tires properly inated at all times to main-
tain control and stability.
• Do not use cart to transport other loads or add
additional product. For use with recommended
cable size/lengths only.
• Close and latch drum cover before operating.
Moving parts can cause injury.
• 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. Remove cable before disas-
sembling drum.
• Always use common sense and be cautious when
using tools. It is not possible to anticipate every
situation that could result in a dangerous outcome.
Do not use this tool if you do not understand these
operating instructions or you feel the work is beyond
your capability; contact Milwaukee Tool or a trained
professional for additional information or training.
• Maintain labels and nameplates. These carry
important information. If unreadable or missing,
contact a MILWAUKEE service facility for a free
replacement.

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.
