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.
Keep extension cord off the ground and away from water. Water increases the risk of electric shock.
12. Connect the Line Cord to a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter(GFCI) protected electrical outlet.
13. Install this product on a proper surface. Locate on a flat, level, and solid surface that is capable of supporting
the weight of the Drain Cleaner.
14. Do not operate the Drain Cleaner with the belt guard removed. Fingers can get caught between the drive belt and pulley.
15. Do not put too much stress on cable. Keep gloved hand on the cable for control when machine is running. In the course
of drain cleaning, if the cable encounters an obstruction, it may stress the cable and cause the cable to twist, kink,
or break. This may result in serious injury, and damage the equipment or pipes.
16. Position Drain Cleaner within two feet of drain opening. Greater distances can result in the cable twisting or kinking.
17. 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 crushing injuries.
18. Reverse Motor direction only when pulling the Cable out of the pipe or off an obstruction. Trying to push the Cable down
the pipe while in reverse operation can result in Cable damage. Make sure Drum has stopped turning before
changing the Power Switch.
19. Keep hands away from the rotating Drum and Distributor Tube. Do not reach into Drum unless the Drain Clean
power cord is unplugged.

protective equipment always includes ANSI-approved safety glasses and heavy-duty work gloves, and may include
equipment such as latex or rubber gloves, face shields, goggles, protective clothing, respirators and steel toed footwear.
