specific use of these tools.
- Daily exposure levels for sound need to be evaluated
for each application and appropriate safety measures
taken when needed. Evaluation of exposure levels
should consider the time a tool is switched off and not
in use. This may significantly reduce the exposure
level over the total working period.

Cable spins at 170 RPM. The K-400 is not
designed to remove root blockages.
The drum is belt-driven by a

HP electric
motor that has a grounded electrical system.
An integral Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter
(GFCI) is built into the line cord. A FOR /OFF/ -
REV (or 1/OFF/2) switch controls drum and
cable rotation and a pneumatic foot switch
provides ON/OFF control of the motor.
The cable control system consists of a torque
limiter to stop the drum from rotating when
the tool stops rotating and the torque exceeds
the set value. This helps to prevent cable dam-
age from cable flip over in the drum. The torque
limiter is designed to work with RIDGID

protect other cables.
The “Solid-Core” Integral Wound cable is
durable and kink-resistant. The cable has a
quick change coupling system for connect-
ing or disconnecting tools.
The optional AUTOFEED
®
cable feed allows
the cable to be advanced or retrieved at a rate
of 12-15 feet per minute (3.6-4.6 m/minute).
