Page: 27 / 296

ENGLISH 19
Use a gas detector to detect the presence of toxic or explosive gases in the area that you will be
working in!
The machine and the accessories should be cleaned and disinfected after every use.
The recommended personal protective equipment should be worn for all work: Safety helmet,
safety shoes, safety vest!
Your hands should be cleaned and disinfected after every activity; as there is increased risk of
infection from germs!
Only wear gloves recommended by the manufacturer when handling the rotating spiral.
Latex or loose-fitting gloves or cloths can become wrapped around the spiral and this might
cause serious injuries.
Do not allow the cutter to jam whilst the spiral is still rotating. This might overload the spiral
and cause it to twist, kink or break, resulting in serious injuries.
One person must operate both the spiral and the switch. If the cutter becomes jammed, the
operator must be able to switch off the power tool in order to prevent the spiral from twisting,
kinking or breaking.
Wear latex or rubber gloves inside the manufacturer's recommended gloves, as well as
eye protection, face protection, protective clothing and respiratory protection if you sus-
pect that their might be bacteria, chemicals or other toxic or infectious substances in the
drainpipe.
Drains can contain bacteria, chemicals and other substances that are corrosive, in-
fectious or toxic and they might cause serious injuries.
Take hygienic precautions. Do not eat or smoke when handling or operating the power
tool. Always wash your hands and other body parts that were exposed to the drain con-
tents with hot soapy water after using the drain cleaning equipment.
This measure helps to
reduce health risks that might arise from being in contact with toxic or infectious materials.
The drain cleaner is only to be used in the permitted drain cleaner sizes. Using the wrong
size drain cleaner might cause the spiral to twist, kink or break, resulting in serious injuries.
Always use the rear guide tube when operating the power tool and ensure that the spiral
never protrudes from it.
This stops the spiral from whipping around, which might result in an
entanglement or serious injuries.
