a rag. They can become wrapped around the cable,
causing hand injuries. Only wear latex or rubber gloves
under leather work gloves. Do not use damaged gloves.
• Do not allow the end of cable to stop turning while
the machine is running. This can overstress the cable
and may cause twisting, kinking or breaking of the
cable.
• Position machine so that the AUTOFEED is within
6" (15 cm) of the drain inlet or properly support ex-
posed cable when the distance exceeds 6" (15
cm). Greater distances can cause control problems
leading to twisting, kinking or breaking of the cable.
• 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.
• Do not operate the machine in REV (reverse) rota-
tion except as described in this manual. Operating
in reverse can result in cable damage and is used to
back the tool out of blockages.
• Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your
hair and clothing away from moving parts. Loose
clothing, jewelry or hair can be caught in moving parts.
• Always use appropriate personal protective equip-
ment while handling and using drain cleaning
equipment. Drains may contain chemicals, bacteria and
other substances that may be toxic, infectious, cause
burns or other issues. Appropriate personal protective
equipment always includes safety glasses and
leather work gloves in good condition, and may in-
clude equipment such as latex or rubber gloves, face
shields, goggles, protective clothing, respirators and
steel toed footwear.
• Practice good hygiene. Use hot, soapy water to
wash hands and other body parts exposed to drain
contents after handling or using drain cleaning equip-
ment. Do not eat or smoke while operating or handling
drain cleaning equipment. This will help prevent con-
tamination with toxic or infectious material.
• Do not operate this machine if operator or ma-
chine is standing in water. Operating machine while
in water increases the risk of electrical shock.
• Only use drain cleaner to clean drains of recom-
mended sizes according to these instructions.
Other uses or modifying the drain cleaning machine for
other applications may increase the risk of injury.
