or properly support exposed cable when the dis-
tance exceeds three feet. Greater distances can
cause control problems leading to twisting, kinking or
breaking of the cable. Twisting, kinking or breaking
cable may cause striking or crushing injuries.
• One person must control both the cable and the
foot switch. If the cutter stops rotating, the operator
must be able to turn the machine motor off to prevent
twisting, kinking and breaking of the cable. Twisting,
kinking or breaking cable may cause striking or crush-
ing injuries.
• Do not operate the machine in REV (reverse) rota-
tion except as described in this manual. Operating
in reverse can result in cable damage and is used to
back the tool out of blockages.
• Keep hands away from rotating drum and guide
tube. Do not reach into drum unless machine is un-
plugged. Hand may be caught in the moving parts.
• Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your
hair and clothing away from moving parts. Loose
clothing, jewelry or hair can be caught in moving parts.
• Always use appropriate personal protective equip-
ment while handling and using drain cleaning e -
quip ment. Drains may contain chemicals, bacteria
and other substances that may be toxic, infectious,
cause burns or other issues. Appropriate personal
protective equipment always includes safety glass -
es and RIDGID drain cleaning gloves, and may in-
clude equipment such as latex or rubber gloves, face
shields, goggles, protective clothing, respirators and
steel-toed footwear.
• Practice good hygiene. Use hot, soapy water to
wash hands and other body parts exposed to drain
contents after handling or using drain cleaning equip-
ment. Do not eat or smoke while operating or handling
drain cleaning equipment. This will help prevent con-
tamination with toxic or infectious material.
• Do not operate this machine if operator or ma-
chine is standing in water. Operating machine while
in water increases the risk of electrical shock.
• Only use drain cleaning machine to clean drains of
recommended sizes according to these instruc-
tions. Other uses or modifying the drain cleaning ma-
chine for other applications may increase the risk of
injury.
