GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

⚠ WARNING

Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications for this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in fire and/or serious injury. Save all warnings and instructions for future the term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

WORK SAFETY AREA

• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
• Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable 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. Unmodified 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 conditions. 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 extension 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 influence 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 finger 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 affect the power tool's operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents 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 different 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 specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.
• Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
• 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 fire.

• Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally 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 damaged or modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit unpredictable behavior resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.

• Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire 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 specified in the instructions. Charging improperly or at temperatures outside the specified range may damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.

SERVICE

- Have your power tool serviced by a qualified 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 PIPELINE INSPECTION SYSTEMS

• Use latex or rubber gloves, 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 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 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.
• Always check the work area before beginning a job. Do not allow cable to contact electrical, chemical, or moving hazards.
• Do not use the cable to clear clogs or move obstructions. This is not a drain cleaner!
• Inspect cable for wear and damage before use. Do not twist, kink or over bend cables. Replace a worn or damaged cable before use.
• To reduce the risk of fire, personal injury, and product damage due to a short circuit, never immerse your tool, battery pack or charger in fluid or allow a fluid to flow inside them. Corrosive or conductive fluids, such as seawater, certain industrial chemicals, and bleach or bleach containing products, etc., can cause a short circuit.
• Recharge battery packs only with the charger specified for the battery. For specific charging instructions, read the operator's manual supplied with your charger and battery.
• CAUTION Use care when transporting this tool when the reel and backpack are connected. Tipping may occur.
• 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 filter out microscopic particles.

1. Press the locking tilt button to unlock the adjustment block.	2. Turn the mounting block towards the opening of the drum until it locks in place.	3. Adjusting the tilt angle is useful when using the reel in the horizontal position.

4.7 Using the Pipeline Inspection Reel

⚠ WARNING Use latex or rubber gloves, 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 infectious or may result in other serious personal injury.

⚠ WARNING To reduce the risk of explosion, electric shock and property damage, always check the work area before beginning a job. Do not allow cable to contact electrical, chemical, or moving hazards.

Do not use the push cable to clear clogs or move obstructions. This is not a drain cleaner!

4 Pipeline Inspection Reel

1. Position the reel on a flat surface approximately three to six feet or one to two meters from the entry point. This will provide enough space to work with the push cable without a lot of slack dragging on the ground. Use the friction brake to slow down the movement of the push cable drum if needed.

Using the reel in a horizontal position makes the width between the feet greater. This will give the reel more stability if on uneven surfaces and will lower the height when in confined spaces.

1. Unlock the spring then loosen the friction brake so that the push cable drum can spin.
2. The push cable is now ready to be deployed into the pipe.

4.8 Push Cable

Check Push Cable for Wear - Visually inspect the push cable for cuts, kinks, and abrasions as it is retrieved back into the cable cage. If the jacket is cut or worn to the point that the yellow or white Kevlar braid can be seen, then it is time to replace the push cable. Using the push cable with open cuts will result in water and moisture entering the push cable and eventually traveling through it, causing a degraded camera image, or total image failure.

The push cable sections shown below are examples of badly worn jackets. Push cable such as this should be replaced as soon as possible.

⚠WARNING To reduce the risk of fire, personal injury, and product damage, never immerse your tool, battery pack or charger in fluid or allow a fluid to flow inside them. Always remove battery pack before cleaning.

Keep the Push cable and Termination Spring Assembly dry and clean – When retrieving the push cable keep a clean, dry rag in one hand and wipe down the push cable as it moves through it. At the end of the day, use low-pressure water to rinse off the camera head and rinse away accumulated dirt and debris that may be caught in the spring. Shake dry or use low-pressure air to blow the excess water away and dry off the parts. The Camera Head, Push Cable and Termination Parts are exposed to very harsh chemicals in day-to-day use. Keeping a clean system will help prolong the life of these parts.

Maintain proper control of the push cable – Attempting to pull the push cable out of the reel while the reel is locked will result in the push cable collapsing in the reel and stressing the push cable. Pushing the push cable back into the reel while it is locked may cause the reel to tip over or kink the cable.
