OPERATION  Allow any liquids inside the drum to pour down a drain or into a container approved for liquid waste. To clean the cable:  Remove the battery pack or power cord from the tool.  Using a clean cloth and warm soapy water, pull the cable out from the tool, cleaning it as it advances. Continue until the cable has been fully advanced and completely cleaned.  Using a clean, dry cloth, pull the cable back into the tool, drying it as it retracts. Continue until the cable has been fully retracted.  To ensure that no water entered the tool, drain the drum as described earlier. NOTICE: Do not advance or retract the cable using the switch trigger unless the cable is in a drain pipe. MAINTENANCE WARNING: When servicing, use only identical replacement parts. Use of any other part could create a hazard or cause product damage. WARNING: To avoid serious personal injury, always remove the battery pack or power cord from the tool when cleaning, performing any maintenance, or when storing the tool. GENERAL MAINTENANCE Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of commercial solvents and can be damaged by their use. Use clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc. WARNING: Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleumbased products, penetrating oils, etc., come in contact with plastic parts. Chemicals can damage, weaken or destroy plastic which could result in serious personal injury. REPLACING THE AUGER TIP After extended use, the auger tip may wear and need replacing.
