DRAIN CLEANER SAFETY WARNINGS

Only grasp the rotating cable with gloves recommended
by the manufacturer. Latex or loose fitting 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.
Use latex or rubber gloves inside the gloves recommended
by the manufacturer, goggles, face shields, protective
clothing, and 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 other
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, deter-
mine 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 cable is fully retracted outside of the drain
cleaner. This will prevent whipping at start up.
Determine if the drain cleaner can be placed within 15 cm
of the drain opening. If not, the drain opening will need to
be extended using a similar size pipe and fi ttings. Improper
cable support may cause twisting, kinking or breaking of the cable.
Place the drain cleaner at a distance not greater than
15 cm from drain opening. Greater distances can cause control
problems leading to twisting, kinking or breaking of the cable.
One person must control both the trigger switch and cable.
Do not operate the drain cleaner in reverse rotation except
as described in this manual. Operating in reverse can result in
cable damage and is used to back the tool out of blockages.
Maintain labels and nameplates. These carry important
information. If unreadable or missing, contact a MILWAUKEE service
facility for a free replacement.
