GENERAL SAFETY RULES 

Maxi-Rooter™  

Electric  shock  resulting  in 
death  can  occur  if  you  plug 
this  machine  into  an  improp-
erly 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 pro-
tect  you  in  this  situation.    Use  a 
UL  approved  tester  to  determine 
if the outlet is safe.

 

 

Do  not  operate  power  tools  in    
explosive  atmospheres,  such 
as  in  the  presence  of  flamma-
ble  liquids,  gases,  or  dust.

  

Power  tools  create  sparks  which 
may ignite the dust of fumes.

 

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.

 

 

Always  wear  safety  glasses 
and  rubber  soled,  non-slip 
shoes.

ment may prevent serious injury.

 

Never  operate  machine  with 
belt  guard  removed.

    Fingers 

can  get  caught  between  belt  and 
pulley.

 

 

Do not overstress cables.   

Overstressing  cables  may  cause 
twisting,  kinking,  or  breaking  of 
the  cable  and  may  result  in  seri-
ous injury.

 

 

These instructions are intended to  

familiarize all personnel with the safe  

operation and maintenance  

procedures for the Maxi-Rooter.

which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury. 

WARINING indicates a hazard with a medium level of risk 
which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury. 

CAUTION indicates a hazard with a low level of risk which, 
if not avoided, will result in minor or moderate injury. 

 

This is the safety alert symbol. It is 

used to alert you to potential personal 

injury hazards. Obey all safety mes-

sages that follow this symbol to avoid 
possible  injury or death.
