1.2 General Power Tool Safety Warnings
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 your electrically operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
1) Work area safety
a) Keep the work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks that may ignite dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
2) Electrical safety
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce the risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges, and moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors only, use extension cords suitable for outdoor use. The use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. The use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
3) Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A momentary lack of attention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust masks, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to a 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.
d) 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.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. The use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
h) Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to become complacent and ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.
4) Power tool use and care
a) 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.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove the battery pack, if detachable, from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e) 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.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and 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.
h) 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.
5) Battery tool use and care
a) Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.
b) **WARNING! Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs and respectively battery types. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of explosions, injury, and fire.
c) When the battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws, or other small metal objects that can make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
e) Do not use a damaged or modified battery. Damaged or modified batteries can behave unexpectedly and lead to fires, explosions or injuries.
f) Do not expose a battery to fire or high temperatures. Fire or temperatures above 130°C (265°F) can cause an explosion.
g) Follow all the instructions for charging and never charge the battery or the cordless tool outside the temperature range specified in the operating instructions. Incorrect charging or charging outside the permitted temperature range can destroy the battery and increase the fire risk.
6) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
b) Never service damaged batteries. All maintenance of batteries should only be carried out by the manufacturer or authorized customer service points.
1.3 Special safety instructions
R600 VarioClean:
Wear appropriate guide gloves (e.g. riveting glove left 72120, right 72121) to guide the spiral. Damaged riveting gloves must not be worn again. (Riveting gloves are not personal protective clothing as per 2016/425/EU – see Section 5.6 as well).
When using riveting gloves, always ensure that you also wear disposable latex gloves inside the riveting gloves for hygienic reasons. (Damaged latex gloves must not be worn again.)
The spirals must be removed completely from the holding cage before the machine is turned on.
Wear suitable safety shoes when carrying out the cleaning work (insulation).
Always ensure that the pipe cleaning machine is switched to “0” or OFF before you insert the plug into an electrical socket.
Whenever you use electrical devices, always adhere to the specified voltage and generally work with a protective tube and safety gloves.
To prevent damage, use this machine and its accessories only to clean wastewater pipes — never chimneys, wells, etc.
To prevent damage to the pipes or pipe bends, do not modify tools by grinding, etc.
Use a camera system to spot the cause of the pipe blockage.
Only use electric lines that have been correctly installed as per the “VDE regulations”.
Mechanical pipe cleaning should always be undertaken from above in the direction of the stop plug.
Ensure that no water taps leading to the pipe to be processed are actuated during the pipe cleaning. Congestion can occur here!
Never leave the machine unattended during pipe cleaning!
Protective covers: All of the rotating parts are made safe through the use of protective covers. Removing and/or operating without these protective covers is strictly forbidden!
Secure the working site (the road, the shaft) so that no non-involved people will suffer injuries and always cover up open shafts or gullies.
Use a gas detector to detect the presence of toxic or explosive gases in the area where 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: a Safety helmet, safety shoes, and safety vest! Your hands should be cleaned and disinfected after every activity; as there is an 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 suspect that there might be bacteria, chemicals, or other toxic or infectious substances in the drainpipe. Drains can contain bacteria, chemicals, and other substances that are corrosive, infectious, 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 contents 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.
Charger and battery:
This charger is not intended for use by children and persons with physical, sensory, or mental limitations or a lack of experience or knowledge. This charger can be used by children aged 8 and above and by persons who have physical, sensory, or mental limitations or a lack of experience or knowledge if a person responsible for their safety supervises them or has instructed them in the safe operation of the charger and they understand the associated dangers. Otherwise, there is a danger of operating errors and injuries.
Supervise children during use, cleaning, and maintenance. This will ensure that children do not play with the charger.
Do not charge non-rechargeable batteries.
Danger – electrical voltage!
Only use the charger indoors!
Protect the charger from moisture!
Never allow children to use the machine. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the tool. Keep children away from the battery charger and the working area! Keep your battery charger out of reach of children! Pull out the mains plug immediately if the battery charger starts to smoke or flames emerge! Do not insert objects into the ventilation slots on the battery charger ­ there is a danger of electric shocks and short circuits! Do not recharge a fully charged battery pack!
Protect battery packs from water and moisture!
Do not expose battery packs to naked flame!
Do not use faulty or deformed battery packs! In areas with high metal dust exposure do not load any battery packs with AIR COOLED chargers. Do not open battery packs! Do not touch or short-circuit battery packs!
Slightly acidic, flammable fluid may leak from defective Li-ion battery packs!
If battery fluid leaks out and comes into contact with your skin, rinse immediately with plenty of water. If battery fluid leaks out and comes into contact with your eyes, wash them with clean water and seek medical attention immediately!
Transporting li-ion battery packs:
The contained lithium-ion batteries are subject to the Dangerous Goods Legislation requirements. The user can transport the batteries by road without further requirements. When being transported by third parties (e.g.: air transport or forwarding agency), special requirements on packaging and labeling must be observed. For the preparation of the item being shipped, consulting an expert for hazardous material is required. Only send the battery pack if the housing is intact and no fluid is leaking. Remove the battery pack from the machine for sending. Prevent the contacts from short-circuiting (e.g. by protecting them with adhesive tape).
Dispatch batteries only when the housing is undamaged. Tape or mask off open contacts and pack up the battery in such a manner that it cannot move around in the packaging. Please also observe possibly more detailed national regulations.
1.4 Residual risks**
Even when observing all of the safety instructions there are still some residual risks remaining, for example spirals can overturn (create a loop if the operating arc is too large) thereby creating the risk of clamping. Spirals under tension can spring out of the pipe ~ a risk of injury!

Counter-clockwise rotation
Releases the spiral| Clockwise rotation Clears the blockage| Speed Level 1 Unblocking| Speed Level 2 Cleaning| Speed Level 3 Spins for cleaning

If you press down on the button, all of the LEDs will light up for 3 seconds (controller active) and so will the two LEDs in the housing.
Attention! Do not look directly into the LEDs in the housing. The danger of being dazzled!
The controller will switch off automatically and all of the LEDs will go out if no other switch is pressed within 5 minutes.
5.4 Fitting a standard spiral (C)
Attention! Only use correct spirals!
The spiral diameters and spiral lengths that can be used are listed in the technical data.
The spirals can be connected to one another by using a coupling and divided back into sections again using a separating key; do this by inserting the separating key in the hole in the coupling and then pulling the coupling apart sideways.
** Only use as many spiral pieces for as long as they are actually needed! Never use a deformed spiral!
Take the spiral out of its holding basket.
Slide the spiral through the machine.
Attach the protective tube to the machine from the rear and then check that the locking pin is locked in place.
Always use a protective tube! The protective tube acts as a vibration- damping guide for the spiral, a dirt collector or protector, a safety component for the operating personnel and it also prevents uncontrolled knocking!
5.5 Fit 8 mm / 10 mm spirals (D)
For small bore pipes and pipe bends used 8 mm or 10 mm spirals (optional accessories).
Pull the spirals approx. 30 cm out of the adapter magazine.
Push the adapter magazine into the machine from the rear and secure it.
To break the adapter magazine pulls the lever as far upward as possible.
5.6 Fitting a tool
** When using it for the first time to clear a blockage, only use a drill bit with the smallest diameter at first and then drill into the blockage. When you have drilled through or opened the blockage and drainage starts, you should then use the largest-possible matching drill bit to completely drill out the blockage. When the blockage has been loosened, rinse and if available, use a chain sling drilling tool (with running water if possible) to clean the pipe wall.
Different tools can be attached to the standard spiral to deal with different types of blockages.

| Straight drill bit: Used to determine the type of blockage
---|---
| Club drill bit: Can be used for light textile and cellulose blockages due to its flexibility and the club shape makes penetration into narrow pipe bends easier
| Cone drill bit: Used specifically for textile and cellulose blockages. The funnel-shaped design gives this tool a large coverage area and it can also be used as a retrieval tool for any spirals remaining inside the pipe
| Forked cutting head: Used to ream out grease deposits or to tear up rags and similar materials
| Shovelhead drill bit: Special curved tool for use with slurried or sanded deposits

Attaching: Push the tool onto the coupling until it latches in. Removing: Push the separating key into the hole and then slide the tool sideways and out of the coupling.
5.7 Carrying position

The clamping lever can be locked in place for carrying: do this press down on the clamping lever (1.) and pulling the lock (2.). Briefly press down on the clamping lever to release the lock.
5.8 Safety gloves
Information brochure about safety gloves as per EU Directive 2016/425/EU. Appendix II, Section
1.4 for minimal hazards only.
This pair of gloves is exempted under Chapter II, Article 8, Paragraph 3 of the prototype test and is assigned to Category 1. From this, it is assumed that their effectiveness against minor hazard-free risks has been perceived.
The protection class is determined by the requirements, which may be of a mechanical, chemical, or thermal nature or due to similar influences that do not call for a Category 2 protection class. A risk analysis must be carried out through a wearer trial if the required size is to be specified so that the glove fits. It should be noted that the function might be negatively affected when using accessories, such as under-gloves.
The gloves must be properly stored, i.e. in boxes in dry spaces. Effects such as humidity, temperature, light, and natural changes in materials over time may lead to changes in the characteristics. Shelf life cannot be specified, because that will depend on the degree of wear, the type of use, and the working sites.
We recommend that you clean it using commercially available cleaning utensils (e.g. brushes, polishing cloths, etc.). Washing or chemical cleaning requires prior consultation with an authorized specialist company.
The manufacturer can accept no liability for changes in the characteristics. Always ensure that the gloves are intact before you use them.
5.9 Commissioning
** The pipe cleaning machine should solely be operated by instructed and authorized personnel!
Check the electrical installation at the workplace!
Slide the battery into the housing and check that it is securely seated.
5.10 Operation (E)
The pipe cleaning machine is only to be used after taking into account all of the notices concerning the safety of people and the machine!
Check to ensure that the protective tube is attached to the machine.**

Attach the protective tube first and then slide in a suitable spiral and attach a suitable tool.
Position the machine so that it is about 50 cm away from the opening in the pipe that has to be cleaned. Use the button to switch the controller to ready for operation and set it to clockwise rotation.
  Use the +/- buttons to set the speed level. Select the speed level according to the working process (unblocking, cleaning, spin-cleaning). The LEDs on the control panel will light up according to your selection.
Feed the spiral in so that it is about 50 cm into the pipe. Now press the clamping lever so that the spiral rotates.
** Wear the enclosed special protective gloves to guide the spiral in and always wear protective goggles when working!
Release the clamping lever and then slide the spiral further into the pipe. Repeat the procedure until you can feel counter-pressure; you have reached the blockage!
Pull the spiral out of the machine until it is pre-tensioned into a working arc.
Do not let the working arc become too big – the risk of injuries!
Press the clamping lever and then move the spiral’s working arc up against the blockage.
If the spiral has penetrated the pipe so far that the working arc starts to collapse, release the clamping lever, pull the spiral out of the machine, and make a new working arc.
Repeat the process by pulling it back and forth until the blockage has been cleared, then release the clamping lever and pull the spiral out.
If it is difficult to move, press the clamping lever and allow the spiral to rotate briefly.
If it is difficult to move, you must ensure that rotating right / left stops the spiral from jamming through starting (right) and releasing (left).
** Release the clamping lever and then switch the machine to counter- clockwise rotation (press the counter-clockwise rotation button) if the tool gets stuck in the blockage!
Loosen the tool stuck in the blockage by moving the spiral back and forth and rotating it right / left with the clamping lever pressed.
