Specific Safety Information

WARNING
This section contains important safety information
that is specific to this tool.
Read these precautions carefully before using the
K-4310 FXP Drum Machine to reduce the risk of
electrical shock or other serious personal injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!
Keep this manual with machine for use by the operator.

K-4310 FXP Drum Machine Safety

• Before using the tool, test the ground fault circuit
interrupter (GFCI) provided with the supply cord to
ensure it is operating correctly. A properly operating
GFCI reduces the risk of electrical shock.
• Only use extension cords that are protected by a
GFCI. The GFCI on the machine power cord will not
prevent electrical shock from extension cords.
• Only grasp the rotating cable with gloves recom-
mended by the manufacturer. Latex or loose fitting
gloves or rags can become wrapped around the cable
and may result in serious personal injury.
• Do not allow the cutter to stop turning while the
cable is turning. This can overstress the cable and
may cause twisting, kinking or breaking of the cable
and may result in serious personal injury.
• One person must control both the cable and
switch. If the cutter stops rotating, the operator must
be able to turn the tool off to prevent the cable from
twisting, kinking and breaking.
• Use latex or rubber gloves inside the gloves re-
commended by the manufacturer, goggles, face
4
shields, protective clothing, and respirator when
chemicals, bacteria or other toxic or infectious
substances are suspected to be in a drain line.
Drains may contain chemicals, bacteria and other sub-
stances that may cause burns, be toxic or infectious or
may result in other serious personal injury.
• Practice good hygiene. Do not eat or smoke while
handling or operating the tool. After handling
or operating drain cleaning equipment, use hot,
soapy water to wash hands and other body parts
exposed to drain contents. This will help reduce
the risk of health hazards due to exposure to toxic or
infectious material.
• Only use the drain cleaner for the recommended
drain sizes. Using the wrong size drain cleaner can
lead to twisting, kinking or breaking of the cable and
may result in personal injury.
• Keep hands away from rotating drum. Do not reach
into drum unless battery or adapter is removed.
Hand may be caught in the moving parts.
• Keep glove-covered 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 that may result in serious per-
sonal injury.
• Position machine cable outlet within 3' (0.9 m) of
the drain inlet or properly support exposed cable
when the distance exceeds 3' (0.9 m). Greater dis-
tances can cause control problems leading to twisting,
kinking or breaking of the cable. Twisting, kinking or
breaking cable may cause striking or crushing injuries.
• 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 (unscrew) the cable end 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.
• Do not operate this machine if operator or machine
is standing in water. Operating machine while in
water increases the risk of electrical shock.
• Do not let the use or monitoring of the control
panel distract you from controlling the cable and
drain cleaning process. Inattention to the cable and
process can cause you to lose control and increases
the risk of serious injury.
• Do not use if there is the risk of contact with other
utilities (such as natural gas or electric) during
operation. Visual inspection of the drain with a camera
is a good practice. Cross bores, improperly placed
