Cable spins at 170 RPM. The K-400 is not
designed to remove root blockages.
The drum is belt-driven by a
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
and 1 / " integral wound (IW) cable, and may not
