GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

WARNING Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations, and specifi cations provided with this power tool. Failure tofollow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fi re, and/or serious injury. Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery- operated (cordless) power tool.

WORK AREA SAFETY

• Keep work area clean and well-lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
• Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of fl flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks that may ignite dust or fumes.
• Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

• 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. Unmodifi ed plugs and matching outlets will reduce the 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 rain or wet conditions. 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 cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
• When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. The use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
• If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protected supply. The use of a GFCI reduces the risk of electric 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 infl uence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.

• Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition that may aff ect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
• 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 diff erent 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.

BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE

• Recharge only with the charger specifi ed by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fi re when used with another battery pack.
• Use power tools only with specifi cally designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fi re.
• 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 fi re.
• Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, fl use with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
• Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or modifi ed. Damaged or modifi ed batteries may exhibit unpredictable behavior resulting in fi re, explosion or risk of injury.
• Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fi re or excessive temperature. Exposure to fi re or temperature above 265°F (130°C) may cause an explosion.
• Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the battery pack or tool outside the temperature range specifi ed in the instructions. Charging improperly or at temperatures outside the specifi ed range may damage the battery and increase the risk of fi re.

SERVICE

• Have your power tool serviced by a qualifi ed repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
• Never service damaged battery packs. Service of battery packs should only be performed by the manufacturer or authorized service providers.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES FOR SEWER MACHINES

• Only grasp the rotating cable with gloves recommended by the manufacturer. Latex or lose fi thing gloves or rags can become wrapped around the cable and may result in serious personal injury.
• Do not allow the cutter to stop turning while the cable is turning. This can overstress the cable and may cause twisting, kinking or breaking of the cable and may result in serious personal injury.
• One person must control both the cable and the switch. If the cutter stops rotating, the operator must be able to turn the tool off to prevent the cable from twisting, kinking, and breaking.
• Use latex or rubber gloves inside the gloves recommended by the manufacturer, goggles, face shields, protective clothing, and a respirator when chemicals, bacteria or other toxic or infectious substances are suspected to be in a drain line. Drains may contain chemicals, bacteria, and other substances that may cause burns, be toxic or infectious, or may result in another serious personal injury.
• Practice good hygiene. Do not eat or smoke while handling or operating the tool. After handling or operating drain cleaning equipment, use hot, soapy water to wash hands and other body parts exposed to drain contents. This will help reduce the risk of health hazards due to exposure to toxic or infectious material.
• Only use the drain cleaner for the recommended drain sizes. Using the wrong size drain cleaner can lead to twisting, kinking or breaking of the cable and may result in personal injury.
• Inspect cable for wear and damage before use. Replace a worn or damaged cable before using the drain cleaner.
• Do not twist, kink or over bend cables. Breaking of the cable may result in serious personal injury.
• Inspect the drain to be cleaned before use. If possible, determine the access point(s) to the drain, the size(s) and length(s) of the drain, distance to mainlines, the nature of the blockage, presence of drain cleaning chemicals or other chemicals, etc. If chemicals are present in the drain, it is important to understand the specifi c safety measures required to work around those chemicals. Contact the chemical manufacturer for required information.
• If needed, place protective covers in the work area. The drain cleaning process can be messy.
• Make sure the cable is fully retracted inside of the drain cleaner. This will prevent whipping at start-up.
• Place the drain cleaner at a distance no greater than two feet from the drain opening. If the drain cleaner cannot be placed within two feet from the drain opening, the drain opening will need to be extended using a similar size pipe and fi things. Greater distances can cause control problems leading to twisting, kinking, breaking or whipping of the cable.
• Do not operate the drain cleaner in reverse rotation except as described in this manual. Running the tool in reverse for extended periods can cause damage to the cable and accessories.
• Always wear leather gloves to avoid entanglement and snagging on the moving cable.
• Keep bystanders away when using the MXF501 POWERTREDZ™ lift assist. Loss of control could cause injury. Using lift assist is a one-person operation.
• Use two people whenever it is necessary to lift or carry the machine. The machine is heavy. Lift with legs, not back.
• Always clear the area of obstructions before transporting.
• Keep tires properly infl ated at all times to maintain control and stability.
• Do not use the cart to transport other loads or add additional products. For use with recommended cable size/lengths only.
• Close and latch drum cover before operating. Moving parts can cause injury.
• Disassembly of the internal drum when a cable is installed will cause the cable to unwind quickly and could whip around uncontrollably, which may result in injury. Remove cable before disassembling drum.
• Always secure the tool and any accessories when operating on uneven or raised surfaces.
• Always use common sense and be cautious when using tools. It is not possible to anticipate every situation that could result in a dangerous outcome.
