Operating Instructions - RIDGID K-750R Manual Del Usuario

• Clear path to the electrical outlet that does not
contain any sources of heat or oil, sharp edges or
moving parts that may damage electrical cord.
• Dry place for machine and operator. Do not use
the machine while standing in water.
• Flammable liquids, vapors or dust that may ignite.
2. Position the Drain Cleaning Machine within 3' of
sewer inlet. Greater distances can result in cable
kinking or twisting.
3. Tilt machine forward and use foot to extend "kick-
stands" so that machine rests firmly on them. For
best results, extend one kickstand and rest machine
on it before extending second kickstand. (Figure 7)
Figure 7 – Extending Kickstand
WARNING To prevent tipping during use, machine
should rest firmly on the kickstand.
4. Position the air foot switch pedal for easy operator
acces sibility. Machine is designed for one person
operation.
5. Make sure FOR/OFF/REV switch is in the OFF position.
6. Securely install tool on the end of the cable (See
Figure 5) . If the connection is not secure, the cutting
tool may fall off in use.
NOTE! Proper Tool Selection
The tools provided with this drain cleaner along with a
description of their intended use is shown in Figures 2, 3
and 4 . A good rule of thumb is to use a tool at least 1"
smaller than the line to be cleaned. The style of the
tool is determined by the nature of the job and is left up
to the operator. A good starting tool is the T-403 Cutter
(Figure 2) .
7. Plug the Drain Cleaning Machine into the electrical
outlet, making sure to position the power cord along
the clear path selected earlier. If the power cord does
not reach the outlet, use an extension cord in good
condition.

To avoid electric shock and electrical
WARNING
fires, never use an extension cord that is damaged or
does not meet the following requirements:
•
The cord has a three-prong plug similar to shown in
Electrical Safety Section.
•
The cord is rated as "W" or "W-A" if being used out-
doors.
•
The cord has sufficient wire thickness (16 AWG
below 50'/14 AWG 50'-100'). If the wire thickness is
too small, the cord may overheat, melting the cord's
insulation or causing nearby objects to ignite.
To reduce risk of electrical shock, keep
WARNING
all electrical connections dry and off the ground. Do not
touch plug with wet hands. Test the Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter (GFCI) provided with the electric cord to
insure it is operating correctly. When test button is
pushed in, the indicator light should go off. Reactivate by
pushing the reset button in. If indicator light goes on, the
machine is ready to use. If the GFCI does not function
correctly, do not use the machine.
