WARNING! To reduce risk of injury, read and
understand these instructions.
WARNING! Read all safety warnings,
instructions, illustrations and specifications
provided with this power tool. Failure to follow
all instructions listed below may result in
electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
• Save all warnings and instructions for future
reference.
• The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to
the battery-operated (cordless) drain snake.
• Keep work area clean and well-lit. Cluttered
or dark areas invite accidents.
• Do not operate in explosive atmospheres,
such as in the presence of flammable liquids,
gases or dust. Power tools create sparks that
may ignite the dust or fumes.
• Keep children and bystanders away while
operating. Distractions can cause user to
lose control.
• Do not expose to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase the
risk of electric shock.
• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and
use common sense when operating the
power tool. Do not use power tool while tired
or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or
medication. A moment of inattention while
operating power tools may result in serious
personal injury.
• Use personal protective equipment. Always
wear eye protection. Protective equipment
such as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes,
hard hat or hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will reduce personal
injuries.
• Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure
the switch is in the "off" position before
connecting to power source and/or battery
pack, picking up or carrying the tool.
Carrying power tools with your finger on the
switch or energizing power tools that have
the switch on invites accidents.
• Remove any adjusting key or wrench before
turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key
left attached to a rotating part of the power
tool may result in personal injury.
• Do not overreach. Always maintain proper
footing and balance. This enables better
control of the power tool in unexpected
situations.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewelry. Keep hair and clothing away from
moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long
hair can be caught in moving parts.
• If devices are provided for the connection
of dust extraction and collection facilities,
ensure these are connected and properly
used. Use of dust collection can reduce
dust-related hazards.
• Do not force the power tool. Use the correct
power tool for your application. The correct
power tool will do the job better and safer at
the rate for which it was designed.
• Do not use the power tool if the switch
does not turn it on or off. Any power tool
that cannot be controlled with the switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.
• Remove the battery pack before making any
adjustments, changing accessories or storing
power tools. Such preventive safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the power tool
accidentally.
• Store idle power tool out of the reach of
children and do not allow persons unfamiliar
with the power tool or these instructions to
operate it. Power tools are dangerous in the
hands of untrained users.
• Maintain power tools and accessories. Check
for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condition
that may affect the power tool's operation.
If damaged, have the power tool repaired
before use. Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained power tools.
• Use the power tool, accessories, tool bits, etc.
in accordance with these instructions, taking
into account the working conditions and the
work to be performed. Use of the power tool
for operations different from those intended
could result in a hazardous situation.
• Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry,
clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery
handles and grasping surfaces do not allow
for safe handling and control of the tool in
unexpected situations.
