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. Keep in mind
that the largest tool used should be no bigger than the drain’s inside diameter, minus an inch.
If properly used, the Drain Cleaners and assorted Drain Cleaner Accessories will not damage a
drain that is in good condition and properly designed, constructed, and maintained. However,
if the drain is in poor condition or has not been properly designed, the drain cleaning work may
damage the drain. Before operation(and if possible), visually inspect the drain’s quality.
Machine and Work Area Set-Up
Before each use, inspect Drain Cleaner and correct any problems to reduce risk of serious injury from electric
Shock, twisted/broken cables, chemical burns, infections and other causes and prevent drain cleaner damage.
WARNING
Read and adhere to the following guidelines to prevent serious personal injury and property damage.
1. Once the Drain Cleaner is assembled, check the device and cutters for any signs of wear and damage. If necessary,
replace worn or damaged parts prior to using the drain cleaning machine. Dull or damaged cutting tools can lead to
binding, cable breakage, and slow the drain cleaning.
2. Verify Drain Cleaner is unplugged and inspect the power cord, Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) and plug for damage.
If the plug has been modified, is missing the grounding prong or if the cord is damaged, to avoid electrical shock,
do not use the machine until the cord has been replaced by a qualified electrician.
3. Clean any oil, grease or dirt from all equipment handles and controls. This helps prevent the machine or control from slipping
during use.
4. Verify Foot Switch is attached to Drain Cleaner.
5. Verify Drain Cleaner is properly assembled. Inspect the machine for broken, worn, missing, misaligned or binding parts or
any other condition which may prevent safe and normal operation.
6. Make sure that switches and handles move smoothly between positions and lock in place, and that the bumpers at the
bottom of the handle are present and firmly attached.
Wear ANSI-approved safety goggles, heavy-duty workgloves, and other appropriate protective equipment
when setting up your drain cleaner. For extra protection from chemicals and bacteria on the machine and
in the work area, we recommend wearing latex, rubber or other liquid barrier gloves under the heavy-duty
work gloves. Before use, inspect gloves to be sure they are free of defects or loose sections that could be
caught in the drain cleaner. Rubber soled, non-slip shoes can help prevent slipping and electric shock,
especially on wet surfaces.
