Machine Safety
1. Wear standard equipment glove provided with
the machine. Never grasp a rotating cable with a
cloth or loose fitting glove. It could get wrapped
around the cable and cause serious injury.
2. Never operate machine with belt guard removed.
Fingers can be caught between the belt and pulley.
3. Do not overstress cables. Keep one hand on the
cable for control when the machine is running.
Overstressing cables because of obstruction may
cause twisting or kinking and result in serious injury.
4. Position machine within two feet of inlet. Use
Front End Guide Hose when it is difficult to locate
the machine near the access or clean out. Greater
distances can result in cable twisting or kinking.
5. Do not operate machine in (REV) reverse. Oper-
ating machine in reverse can result in cable damage
and is used only to back tool out of an obstruction.
6. Operate machine from the side with the
FOR/OFF/REV Switch. Allows for better control of
the machine.
