The Milwaukee M18 Drum Drain Auger Machine is a game - changer for drain cleaning. With a 3/8 - inch cable, it sets up instantly, giving you the confidence to clean drains. It packs more power than corded machines, enabling it to handle tough blockages such as grease, scale, and build - up. You can clear drains up to 100 feet with a 3/8 - inch cable or 75 feet with a 1/2 - inch cable. The included 3/8 - inch cable is ideal for 1 - 1/2 to 3 - inch drain lines, while the machine can work with 1/2 - inch cables for larger drain lines up to 4 inches. One of its great advantages is that you can complete multiple jobs on a single battery charge. This eliminates the headache of dealing with extension cords and searching for electrical outlets, allowing you to access power anywhere. The package includes a 2817A - 20 M18™ Drum Machine, an M18™ REDLITHIUM™ XC4.0 Battery Pack, an M18™ and M12™ Multi - Voltage Charger, a 3/8' x 75' Cable, and various attachments with RUST GUARD™ Plating, along with a pin key. It features a drum capacity of 100 feet for 3/8 - inch inner core cable and 75 feet for 1/2 - inch inner core cable. The cable feed type is manual, but you can purchase a cable drive assembly (47 - 53 - 2816 - sold separately) for automatic feed. It accepts other brand cables, and the inner drum helps prevent cable bind - up. The electronic foot pedal slows the drum up to 5 times faster than competitor machines and has a non - slip grip for maximum durability. It also has a removable drum, with an additional drum available separately (47 - 53 - 2817). There are additional cables in different sizes. The machine comes with a 5 - year tool warranty, 2 - year cable warranty, and 3 - year battery warranty.
Using the Milwaukee M18 Drum Drain Auger Machine is easy. First, make sure the battery is fully charged. Select the appropriate cable for your drain line size. For 1 - 1/2 to 3 - inch drain lines, use the 3/8 - inch cable. For 3 to 4 - inch drain lines, a 1/2 - inch cable is recommended. Attach the chosen cable to the machine. Set up the machine near the drain you want to clean. When using the machine, start slowly and let the cable do the work. If you need automatic cable feed, you can purchase the cable drive assembly separately. Be careful not to force the cable too hard, as it may cause cable bind - up. The inner drum helps prevent this, but it's still good to be cautious. After use, clean the cable and the machine to remove any debris. Store the machine in a dry place. If you need to replace the cable or use an additional drum, they are available for purchase. Remember, the machine comes with a 5 - year tool warranty, 2 - year cable warranty, and 3 - year battery warranty, so if you have any issues, contact the manufacturer.
