SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

This is the safety alert symbol. It is used to alert
you to potential personal injury hazards. Obey all
safety messages that follow this symbol to avoid
possible injury or death.
Electric shock resulting in death can occur if you
plug this machine into an improperly wired outlet. If
the ground wire is electrified, you can be electrocuted
by just touching the machine, even when the power
switch is off. A ground fault circuit interrupter will not
protect you in this situation. Use a UL listed tester to
determine if the outlet is safe.
Do not overstress cables. Overstressing cables may
cause twisting, kinking, or breaking of the cable and may
result in serious injury.
1. Only wear leather gloves. Never use any other type of glove,
such as cloth, rubber, or coated gloves. Never grasp a rotating
cable with a rag. These items could become wrapped around the
cable and cause serious injury.
2. Do not overstress cables. Overstressing cables because of an
obstruction may cause twisting, kinking, or breaking of the cable
and may result in serious injury.
3. Place the machine at a distance not greater than six inches
(15cm) from drain opening. Greater distances can result in
cable twisting or kinking.
4. Machine is designed for ONE-PERSON operation. Operator
must control trigger switch and cable.
5. Never take hold of a rotating cable. Pull the cable out, or
push it back into the container by hand only when the motor
is stopped. When the motor is turning, always have one
hand controlling the trigger switch and the other hand
around the grip shield. Operator's hand may be caught in the
moving parts resulting in serious injury.
6. Be careful when cleaning drains where cleaning chemicals
have been used. Avoid direct contact with corrosive drain clean-
ers. Drain cleaning chemicals can cause serious burns, as well
as damage the cable.
7. Do not operate machine if operator or machine is standing
in water. Will increase risk of electrical shock.
8. Wear safety glasses and rubber soled, non-slip shoes. Use
of this safety equipment may prevent serious injury.

the forward and reverse lever, which is located just above the trigger
switch. Move the lever toward the Forward arrow for forward rotation
and toward the Back arrow for reverse rotation. Switch to OFF posi-
tion when the tool is not in use.
