Pre-Operation
Inspection
WARNING
Before each use, inspect your drain
clean ing machine and correct any prob-
lems to reduce the risk of serious injury
from electric shock, twisted or bro ken
cables, chemical burns, infections and
other causes and prevent drain cleaner
damage.
Always wear safety glasses, and other
appropriate protective e quip ment when
inspecting your drain cleaner.
1. Inspect the RIDGID drain cleaning gloves
or mitts ("gloves"). Make sure they are
in good condition with no holes, tears or
loose sections that could be caught in
the rotating cable. It is important not to
wear improper or damaged gloves. The
gloves protect your hands from the rotat-
ing cable. If the gloves are not RIDGID
drain cleaning gloves or are damaged
or worn out, do not use machine until
RIDGID drain cleaning gloves are avail-
able. See Figure 7 .
