GENERAL POWER TOOL
SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING
Read all safety warnings, instruc-
tions, illustrations and specifi ca-
tions provided with this power tool. Failure to
follow all instructions listed below may result in
electric shock, fi re and/or serious injury. Save all
warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your
mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-oper-
ated (cordless) power tool.
WORK AREA SAFETY
• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or
dark areas invite accidents.
• Do not operate power tools in explosive atmo-
spheres, such as in the presence of fl ammable
liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
• Keep children and bystanders away while operating
a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
• Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never
modify the plug in any way. Do not use any
adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power
tools. Unmodifi ed plugs and matching outlets will
reduce risk of electric shock.
• Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded
surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric
shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet condi-
tions. Water entering a power tool will increase the
risk of electric shock.
• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for
carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or
moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase
the risk of electric shock.
• When operating a power tool outdoors, use an ex-
tension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord
suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
• If operating a power tool in a damp location is
unavoidable, use a ground fault circuit interrupter
(GFCI) protected supply. Use of an GFCI reduces
the risk of electric shock.
PERSONAL SAFETY
• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating a power tool. Do
not use a power tool while you are tired or under
the infl uence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A
moment of inattention while operating power tools
may result in serious personal injury.
• Use personal protective equipment. Always
wear eye protection. Protective equipment such
as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or
hearing protection used for appropriate conditions
will reduce personal injuries.
• Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch
is in the off -position before connecting to power
source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying
the tool. Carrying power tools with your fi nger on
the switch or energizing power tools that have the
switch on invites accidents.
• Remove any adjusting key or wrench before
turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left
attached to a rotating part of the power tool may
result in personal injury.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. This enables better control
of the power tool in unexpected situations.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewelry. Keep your hair and clothing away from
moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair
can be caught in moving parts.
• If devices are provided for the connection of
dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure
these are connected and properly used. Use of
dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
• Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use
of tools allow you to become complacent and
ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can
cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.
POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
• Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power
tool for your application. The correct power tool
will do the job better and safer at the rate for which
it was designed.
• Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn
it on and off . Any power tool that cannot be controlled
with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
• Disconnect the plug from the power source and/
or remove the battery pack, if detachable, from
the power tool before making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing power tools.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.
• Store idle power tools out of the reach of children
and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the
power tool or these instructions to operate the
power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands
of untrained users.
• Maintain power tools and accessories. Check
for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condition that
may aff ect the power tool’s operation. If damaged,
have the power tool repaired before use. Many ac-
cidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
• Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits
etc. in accordance with these instructions,
taking into account the working conditions and
the work to be performed. Use of the power tool
for operations diff erent from those intended could
result in a hazardous situation.
• Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean
and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and
grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and
control of the tool in unexpected situations.
BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
• Recharge only with the charger specifi ed by the
manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type
of battery pack may create a risk of fi re when used
with another battery pack.
• Use power tools only with specifi cally designated
battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may
create a risk of injury and fi re.
• When battery pack is not in use, keep it away
from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins,
keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects,
that can make a connection from one terminal
to another. Shorting the battery terminals together
may cause burns or a fi re.
• Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected
from the battery; avoid contact. If contact acciden-
tally occurs, fl ush 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 modifi ed. Damaged or modifi ed batteries
may exhibit unpredictable behavior resulting in fi re,
explosion or risk of injury.
• Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fi re or
excessive temperature. Exposure to fi 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 specifi ed in the instructions. Charging im-
properly or at temperatures outside the specifi ed range
may damage the battery and increase the risk of fi re.
SERVICE
• Have your power tool serviced by a qualifi 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
fi 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 off 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 specifi 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 fi 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 infl 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 disassembling drum.
• Always secure the tool and any accessories
when operating on uneven or raised surfaces.
• 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.
