2. Inspect the power cord and plug for damage. If
the plug has been modified, is missing the
grounding prong or if the cord is damaged, do not
use the Drain Cleaning Machine until the cord has
been replaced.
3. Inspect the Drain Cleaning Machine for any
broken, missing, misaligned or binding parts as well
as any other conditions which may affect the safe
and normal operation of the machine. If any of these
conditions are present, do not use the Drain
Cleaning Machine until any problem has been
repaired.
4. Lubricate the Drain Cleaning Machine, if
necessary, according to the Maintenance
Instructions.
5. Use tools and accessories that are designed for
your drain cleaner and meet the needs of your
application.
The correct tools and accessories allow you to do
the job successfully and safely. Accessories suitable
for use with other equipment may be hazardous
when used with this drain cleaner.
6. Clean any oil, grease or dirt from all equipment
handles and controls. This reduces the risk of injury
due to a tool or control slipping from your grip.
7. Inspect the cutting edges of your tools. If
necessary, have them sharpened or replaced prior
to using the Drain Cleaning Machine. Dull or
damaged cutting tools can lead to binding and cable
breakage.
8. Inspect cables and couplings for wear and
damage. Cables should be replaced when they
become severely worn or corroded. A worn cable
can be identified when the outside coils become flat.
Worn or damaged cables can break causing serious
injury.
