1. Only wear leather gloves. Never use any other type of glove,
such as cloth, rubber, or coated gloves. Never grasp a rotating
cable with a rag. These items could become wrapped around the
cable and cause serious injury.
2. Never operate machine with motor cover removed. Fingers
can get caught between belt and pulley and there is potential for
electrical shock..
3. Do not overstress cables. Keep leather-gloved hand on the ca-
ble for control when machine is running. Overstressing cables
because of an obstruction may cause twisting, kinking, or breaking
of the cable and may result in serious injury.
4. Place the machine at a distance not greater than two feet from
the opening. Greater distances can result in cable twisting or
kinking.
5. Machine is designed for ONE-PERSON operation. Operator
must control foot switch and cable.
6. Do not operate machine in reverse (REV). Operating machine
in reverse can result in cable damage and is used only to back
cutting tool out of an obstruction.
7. Keep hands away from rotating drum. Do not reach into drum
unless machine is unplugged. Hand may be caught in the moving
parts resulting in serious injury.
8. Be careful when cleaning drains where cleaning chemicals
have been used. Avoid direct contact with skin and eyes. Drain
cleaning chemicals can cause serious burns as well as damage
the cable.
9. Do not operate machine if operator or machine is standing in
water. Will increase risk of electrical shock.
10. Wear safety glasses and rubber soled, non-slip shoes. Use of
this safety equipment may prevent serious injury.
11. Before starting each job, check that the cable in the drum is
not broken or kinked, by pulling the cable out and checking
for wear or breakage. Always replace worn out (kinked or bro-
ken) cables with genuine GENERAL replacement cables.
12. Only use this tool in the application for which it was de-
signed. Follow the instructions on the proper use of the ma-
chine. Other uses or modifying the drain cleaner for other applica-
tions may increase risk of injury.
13. Do not operate machine if warning labels are missing or illegi-
ble.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
This is the safety alert symbol. It is used to alert
you to potential personal injury hazards. Obey all
safety messages that follow this symbol to avoid
possible injury or death.
Electric shock resulting in death can occur if you
plug this machine into an improperly wired outlet. If
the ground wire is electrified, you can be electrocuted
by just touching the machine, even when the power
switch is off. A ground fault circuit interrupter will not
protect you in this situation. Use a UL approved tester to
determine if the outlet is safe.
Do not overstress cables. Overstressing cables may
cause twisting, kinking, or breaking of the cable and may
result in serious injury.
