General Safety Rules Work Area 1. Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite accidents. 2. 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. 3. Keep bystanders, children and visitors away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control. Protect any bystanders in the work area by providing appropriate barriers.
Power Tool Use and Care 1. 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 powertool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired. 3.
9. Keep gloved hand on the cable whenever the machine is running. This provides better control of the cable and helps prevent twisting, kinking and breaking of the cable. Twisting, kinking or breaking cable may cause striking or crushing injuries. 10. Before each use, check all nuts, bolts, and screws for tightness. Vibration during operation may cause these to loosen. 11. Avoid electrical shock. Do not operate the Drain Cleaner if sitting in standing water, and if the operator is in standing water.
Grounding WARNING TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK AND DEATH FROM INCORRECT GROUNDING WIRE CONNECTION: Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify the power cord plug provided with the tool. Never remove the grounding prong from the plug. Do not use the tool if the power cord or plug is damaged. If damaged, have it repaired by a service facility before use.
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter(GFCI) Your machine is equipped with a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI), which protects you against shock if a short circuit should occur. Check that the receptacle is properly grounded and test the GFCI before each use. 1. Plug the GFCI Power Plug into a Grounded. 2. Press the TEST button. The GFCI indicator light will go out and power to the machine should cut off. 3.
NOTICE: If the cause of the obstruction is unknown, use the Boring Bulb Cutter to explore the obstruction And, if possible, retrieve a piece to inspect. Once you can see the cause of the obstruction, Select the appropriate tool for the job. Run the smallest available tool through the blockage to allow the backed up water to flow and carry away the debris as the drain is cleaned. Once the drain is flowing, more appropriate tools can be used on the rest of the blockage.
7. Rotate the drum and make sure that it turns freely without binding. 8. Check that all warning labels are present, firmly attached and readable. 9. Make sure Belt Guard is securely fastened to the Drain Cleaner. 10. Check the cable for any wear and damage. If any section of the cable is worn or flattened, replace cable before use. 11. Verify cable does not have multiple or excessive kinks (greater than 15°). Kinks weaken the cable and can cause cable failure.
9. Determine the correct drain cleaning cable size for the drain cleaning job. See Cable/Pipe Size chart below. 10. If needed, place protective covers over the work area floor. Cleaning the clogged drain can be a messy operation. 11. Make sure that the Drain Cleaner handle is locked into the upright position for transport. If the Drain Cleaner needs to be lifted, use proper lifting techniques or seek assistance if needed. Use caution when moving equipment up and down stairs.
Manual Feed 1. Position the Drain Cleaner two feet from the drain. 2. With the Drain Cleaner off, pull the cable out of drum and feed into the drain. Push the cable as far into the drain as it will go. 3. As you feed cable, you may feel and see cable slow down and/or start to wind or load up (a “twisting” or “squirming” motion). This may indicate a change in drain line (such as a drain trap, elbow, etc.), a build up in the drain (mud or grease), or the actual blockage.
Freeing Lodged Cutting Tool 1. Release Foot Switch and turn the Power Switch to OFF position. 2. Pull the cable loose from the blockage. If the tool will not come free, place the Power Switch in Reverse position. 3. Hold the cable with both gloved hands, press the Foot Switch for several seconds, and pull on the cable until it is free of the blockage.
Functions TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK AND DEATH FROM INCORRECT GROUNDING WIRE CONNECTION: Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify the power cord plug provided with the tool. Never remove the grounding prong from the plug. Do not use the tool if the power cord or plug is damaged. If damaged, have it repaired by a service facility before use. If the plug will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

Always wear ANSI-approved safety glasses and heavy-duty work gloves when performing any maintenance. Cleaning Drain Cleaner Cables 1. Thoroughly flush Drain Cleaner cables with clean water after every use. Doing so will help prevent the build-up of sediment and any drain cleaning chemicals still in the cable. 2.

GFCI breaker tripped. 1. Turn motor off. Allow motor to cool off completely before restarting and stay clear of cable when turning motor back on. 2. Make sure all electrical components are dry and all insulation is in good repair. Press reset button.
