Specific Operation Warnings
⚠
WARNING

To reduce the risk of injury, always wear eye protection.

Use the auxiliary handles supplied with the drain cleaner. Loss of control can cause personal
injury.

Wear heavy duty leather gloves while operating the drain cleaner. Do not grasp the rotating cable
with anything else, including cloth gloves or a rag.

Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair and clothing away from moving parts.

Do not operate this machine if operator or machine is standing in water.

Keep all electric connectors dry and off the ground.

Do not touch plugs or the tool with wet hands.

Only use the drain cleaner to clean drains of recommended sizes.

Keep the drain cleaner as close as possible to the pipe. If it has difficulty finding the pipe, use the
front guide tube. If the distance is too long, it may cause winding or it may break off of the flexible
shaft.

Do not operate the drain cleaner while reversing (pressing the forward and reverse rotation button
R). Operating in the (R) state can cause damage to the flexible shaft. The button (R) is only used
to exit the flexible axis in the case of a blockage.

Use the guide hose to prevent the flexible shaft from bringing foreign matter when jittering.

After using detergent in the pipe, avoid direct contact with skin or eyes. Some detergents can
cause severe burns.

The function of the drain cleaner is to clean and dredge the pipes. Follow the instructions in this
manual. Using the drain cleaner inappropriately can cause injury.

Do not use the drain cleaner when the handle, switch, grounding plug, or fuse is damaged. Poorly
maintained tools can cause serious injury.
