permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover. Whenever the adaptor is used,
it must be held in place by the metal screw.
Working Area and Safety
1. Do not let water get into the power tools. If the machine is wet, do not operate it until it is
dry. Do not operate machine when it is standing in water. This will increase risk of electrical
shock.
2. Wear safety equipment (gloves and rubber soled, non‐slip shoes) and apply safety
procedures when working area is wet. Place the machine on a dry surface.
3. Never operate machines in explosive environments, including areas with flammable liquids,
gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
4. Be cautious when cleaning drains with cleaning chemicals being applied. Do not let the
chemicals directly contact skin, eyes and/or the cable. These chemicals can cause serious
burns to the skin and eyes as well as damaging the cable.
5. Have a second person supervise when working in a narrow space or special environment,
such as in a boiler room, inside a pipe or on a wet surface. Failure to do so may cause
serious injury or death.
6. Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating the power machine.
Distractions by others may lead to losing control.
7. Keep working area well lit, neat and clean. Dark zones and cluttered messes cause
unpredictable accidents.
Electric Safety
1. The machine is equipped with a Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter (GFCI), which protects you against shock if short
circuit should occur. Check that the receptacle is properly
grounded. Test the GFCI before each use. The testing procedure
is given below:
a) Plug machine into a receptacle with the machine‐specified
voltage.
b) Push the test button. Indicator light will go out and power
to machine will cut off.
If light does not go out when the test
button is pushed, equipment should not be used until
proper repairs or replacement to the GFCI are made.
c) To restore power after test, push reset button.
With the reset button untouched, if the machine does not start, or
stops while running, or if you experience a mild shock, do not use the machine! Have
it repaired or replaced by a licensed technician.
When using an extension cord, the GFCI on the drain cleaner does not
protect the extension cord. If the outlet is not GFCI protected, it is advisable to use a
plug in type GFCI between the outlet and the extension cord to reduce the risk of
shock if there is a fault in the extension cord.
2. When working with the machine outside, use a specially designed outdoor extension cord.
This kind of cord reduces the risk of electric shock. Use only three‐wire extension cords
which have three‐pronged grounding plugs and three‐pole receptacles which accept the
tool's plug. Use of other extension cords will not ground the tool and increase the risk of
electric shock. Insufficient conductor size will cause excessive voltage drop and loss of
power. When using extension cords, a GFCI must be used in circuit boxes or outlet
receptacles. Extension cords without a GFCI can also cause electric shock.
