WARNING

 

WORK AREA SAFETY 

 

Inspect  the  work  area  before  each  use.  Keep  work  area  clean,  dry,  free  of  clutter,  and  well  lit. 

Cluttered, wet, or dark work areas can result in injury. Using the drain cleaner in confined work 

areas may put you dangerously close to cutting tools and rotating parts. 

 

Do not use the drain cleaner  where there is  a risk of causing a fire or  an explosion; i.e., in the 

presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. The product can create sparks, which may ignite 

the flammable liquids, gases, or dust. 

 

Do not allow the drain cleaner to come into contact with an electrical source. The drain cleaner is 

not insulated and contact will cause electrical shock. 

 

Keep children and bystanders away from the work area while operating the drain cleaner. Do not 

allow children to handle the drain cleaner.  

 

Be aware of all power lines, electrical circuits, water pipes, and other mechanical hazards in your 

work area. Some of these hazards may be hidden from your view and may cause personal injury 

and/or property damage if contacted.

 

 

WARNING

 

PERSONAL SAFETY 

 

Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operating the drain cleaner. 

Do  not  use  the  drain  cleaner  while  you  are  tired  or  under  the  influence  of  drugs,  alcohol,  or 

medication.  A  moment  of  inattention  while  operating  the  drain  cleaner  may  result  in  serious 

personal injury. 

 

Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing, dangling objects, or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing 

and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving 

parts. Air vents on the tool often cover moving parts and should be avoided. 

 

Wear  the  proper  personal  protective  equipment  when  necessary.  Use  ANSI  Z87.1  compliant 

safety goggles (not safety glasses) with side shields, or when needed, a face shield. Use a dust 

mask  in  dusty  work  conditions.  Also  use  non-skid  safety  shoes,  hardhat,  gloves,  and  hearing 

protection when appropriate. This applies to all persons in the work area.  

 

Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. 

 

Ensure the power switch is off prior to plugging in the drain cleaner. 

 

WARNING

 

ELECTRICAL SAFETY 

 

Grounded  tools  must  be  plugged  into  an  outlet  properly  installed  and  grounded  in  accordance 

with all codes and ordinances. Never remove the grounding prong or modify the plug in any way. 

Do not use any adapter plugs. Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether 

the  outlet  is  properly  grounded.  If  the  tools  should  electrically  malfunction  or  break  down, 

grounding provides a low resistance path to carry electricity away from the user. 

 

Double  insulated  tools  are  equipped  with  a  polarized  plug  (one  blade  is  wider  than  the  other).
