SAFETY WARNINGS

**** Read all safety warnings and instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in injury and/or property damage. Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

The warning and safety instructions in this manual are not meant to cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. Common sense, caution, and care must be exercised when operating or cleaning tools and equipment. Always contact your dealer, distributor, service agent, or manufacturer about problems or conditions you do not understand before operating the product.

WORK AREA SAFETY

Keep the work area clean and well-lit. Clutter or dark areas invite accidents.
Do not operate the machine in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks that may ignite dust or fumes.
Keep children and bystanders away from the work area while operating the machine. Distractions can cause
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 risk of electric shock.
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.
Do not expose power tools to water or moisture. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep the cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
When operating the tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use.
If operating the machine in a damp location is unavoidable, use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protected supply. The use of a GFCI reduces the risk of electrical shock.

PERSONAL SAFETY

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 moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such as dust masks, nonskid 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 a power source, picking up, or carrying the tool.
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. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
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.

SAFETY WARNINGS

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.
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 at which it was designed.
Disconnect the plug from the power source 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 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.
Maintain power tools. 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. 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.
Hold power tools by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own cord.
Maintain labels and nameplates on the tool. These carry important safety information. If unreadable or missing, contact Customer Service for a replacement.
Do not leave the tool unattended when it is plugged into an electrical outlet. Turn off the tool, and unplug it from its electrical outlet before leaving.

Set up the drain cleaner and work area according to these procedures to reduce the risk of injury from electric shock, fire, tipping, chemical burns, infections and to prevent damage to the machine. Always wear safety glasses and other appropriate protective equipment when setting up your drain cleaner.

Check the work area for:
• Adequate lighting.
• Flammable liquids, vapors, or dust that may ignite. If present, do not work in an area until sources have been identified and corrected. The drain cleaner is not explosion-proof and can cause sparks.
• Clear, level, stable fry place for machine and operator. Do not use the machine while standing in the water. If needed, remove the water from the work area.
• Properly grounded electrical outlet of the correct voltage. Check machine serial plate for required voltage. a three-prong or GFCI outlet may not be properly grounded. If in doubt, have the outlet inspected by a licensed technician.
• Clear path to the electrical outlet that does not contain any potential sources of damage to the power cord.
• Clear path to transport the machine to the work area.
Inspect the drain to be cleaned. If possible, determine the access point(s) to the drain, the size(s) and length(s) of the drain, distance to the tanks or mainlines, the nature of the blockage, presence of the drain cleaning chemicals, etc. If chemicals are present in the drain, it is important to understand the specific safety measures required to work around those chemicals. Contact the chemical manufacturer for required information. If needed, remove fixtures (water closet, etc) to allow access to the drain. Do not feed the cable through a fixture. This could damage the drain cleaner and the fixture.
Determine the correct equipment for the application.
Make sure the machine has been properly inspected.
If needed, place protective covers in the work area. The drain cleaning process can be messy.

OPERATION

WORK AREA SAFETY
As you feed the cable into the drain, you may see the cable slow down or build up outside the drain. Always keep your hands on the cable. You may feel the cable start to wind or load up (this may feel like the cable is starting to twist or squirm). This may be a transition in the drain (trap, elbow, etc) build-up in the drain (grease, etc), or the actual blockage. Feed the cable slowly and carefully. Do not let the cable build up outside the drain. This can cause the cable to twist, kink, or break.

Pay attention to the amount of cable that has been fed into the drain. Feeding cable into a larger drain, septic tank, or similar transition may cause the cable to kink or know and prevent removal from the drain. Minimize the amount of cable fed into the transition to prevent problems. Each wrap of the cable in the drum is approximately 3.5ft.

WORKING THE BLOCKAGE

If the end of the cable stops turning, it is no cleaning the drain. If the end of the cable becomes lodged in the blockage and power is maintained to the drain cleaner, the cable will start to wind up (this may feel like the cable is starting to twist or squirm). Having a hand on the cable allows you to feel this wind-up and control the cable. If the cable end stops turning or if the cable starts to wind up, immediately pull the cable back from the obstruction.

Manual operation: Pull back on the cable to free the cable from the blockage.
Autofeed operation: Move the handle to the retrieve position (figure 14) to free the cable end.

Do not keep the cable rotating if the cable is stuck in the blockage. If the cable end stops turning and the drum keeps rotating, the cable can twist, kink or break. Once the cable end is free of the blockage and turning again, you can slowly feed the cable end back into the blockage. Do not try to force the cable end through the blockage. Let the spinning end dwell in the blockage to completely break it up. The manual operation may gove the best control in these instances. Work the tool in this manner until you have moved completely past the blockage and the drain is flowing. While working the blockage, the tool and cable may become clogged with debris and cuttings from the blockage. This can prevent further progress. The cable and tool need to be retrieved from the drain and the debris removed. See “Retrieving the cable”.

DISLODGING A STUCK TOOL
If the tools stop turning and the cable cannot be pulled back from the blockage, release the footswitch while firmly holding the cable. If using cable feed, release the handle to come back to the neutral (straight up) position. Do not remove hands from the cable or the cable may kink, twist or break. The motor will stop and the cable drum may turn backward until the energy stored in the cable is relieved. Do not remove hands from the cable until the tension is released. place FOR/OFF/REV switch to the OFF position.

The torque limiter helps to prevent cable damage from cable flip over in the drum by stopping drum and cable rotation when the torque exceeds the setting. The motor will continue to rotate as long as the footswitch is pressed but the drum and cable will stop rotating when the torque limiter setting is exceeded. The torque limiter cannot prevent all cable damage in the drum and cannot prevent cable flip over outside the drum. If the drum stops turning, the cable and tool are also not turning.

If the tool is stuck in the blockage, with the FOR/OFF/REV switch in the off position and the footswitch released, try pulling the cable loose from the blockage. If the tool will not come free, place it in the REV position. Grasp the cable with both gloved hands and press the footswitch for several seconds while pulling on the cable until it is free. Do not operate the machine in the REV position and longer than required to free the cable from the blockage or else cable damage can occur. Place the switch in the FOR position and continue cleaning the drain.

OPERATION

RETREIVING THE CABLE

Once the drain is open, if possible, start a flow of water down the drain to flush the debris out of the line and help clean the cable as it is retrieved, This can be done by running a hose down the drain opening, turning on the faucet in the system. Pay attention to the water level as the drain could plugin again.
The FOR/OFF/REV switch should be in the FOR position, do not retrieve the cable with the switch in the REV position. This can damage the cable. As with feeding the cable into the drain, cables cab be caught while being retrieved.
• Manual Operation: With both gloved hands equally spaced on the exposed cable for control, pull 6-12″ of cable at a time and feed it into the drum. Continue retrieving the cable until the cable end is just inside the drain opening.
• Autofeed Operation: With one hand near the center of the exposed length of cable, move the handle to the RETRIEVE position and retrieve the cable. The rotating cable will work its way out of the drain and back into the drain. Continue retrieving the cable until the cable end is just inside the drain opening. Release the handle to come back to the neutral position.
Release the footswitch. allowing the drum to come to a complete stop. Do not pull the end of the cable from the drain while the cable is rotating. The cable can whip around and cause serious injury. Pay attention to the cable during retrieval as the cable end can still become stuck.
Place the FOR/OFF/REV in the OFF position. Pull the remaining cable from the drain with gloved hands and feed into the drain cleaner. If needed, change the tool and continue cleaning following the above process. Several passes through a line are recommended for complete cleaning.

USING MACHINE WITH A FRONT GUIDE HOSE

The front guide hose is an optional accessory to help protect fixtures and contain the liquid and debris thrown off the cable. It can only be used with an Autofeed cable feed. Using the front guide hose can decrease feedback from the cable, making it harder to tell what conditions the cable is encountering. This may increase the possibility of damage to the cable. Using the front guide hose makes it more difficult to switch back and forth between manual and cable feed operation.

Using a machine with the front guide hose is similar to using a machine with an auto-feed cable feed. Follow instructions with the following instructions.

When setting up the machine, insert the guide hose at least 6″ into the drain.
Instead of holding the cable, hold the guide hose. Always control the guide hose and properly support the cable to prevent the cable from twisting, kinking, or breaking.

Do not try to work the cable by hand with the front guide in place. When retrieving the cable be sure to stop the cable before the tool is pulled into the end of the guide hose to prevent damage.

MAINTENANCE

FOR/OFF/REV switch should be OFF and machine unplugged before performing any maintenance.

ALWAYS wear safety glasses, gloves and protective equipment when performing any maintenance.

CLEANING THE DRAIN CLEANER
The machine should be cleaned as needed with hot, soapy water and/or disinfectants. Do not allow water to enter the motor or other electrical components. Make sure the machine is completely dry before plugging it in.

CABLE MAINTENANCE
The cables should be thoroughly flushed with water after every use to prevent damage. Flush the cable with water to drain debris from the drum by tipping the machine forward after every use to remove sediment, etc which can corrode the cable. The cable connector plunger pin can be lubricated with light machine oil.

AUTOFEED CABLE FEED
After each use, hose out the auto-feed cable feed assembly with water and lubricate it with light machine oil.

LUBRICATION
In general, the drain cleaner will not require lubrication. If the drum is removed or changed, grease the bearings with good general-purpose grease.

FRONT GUIDE HOSE
After each use, flush out the guide hose with water and allow it to drain completely.
