K9-12 FlexShaft Drain Cleaning Machine
®
This machine is made to clean
NOTICE
drains. If properly used, it will not damage a
drain that is in good condition and properly
designed, constructed and maintained. If the
drain is in poor condition, or has not been
properly designed, constructed and main-
tained, the drain cleaning process may not be
effective or could cause damage to the drain.
The best way to determine the condition of
a drain before cleaning is through visual in-
spection with a camera. Improper use of this
drain cleaning machine can damage the drain
cleaning machine and the drain. This machine
may not clear all blockages.

Pre-Operation Inspection

Before each use, inspect your Drain
Cleaning Machine and correct any prob-
lems to reduce the risk of serious injury
from electric shock, twisted or broken
cables, chemical burns, infections and
other causes and prevent Drain Cleaning
Machine damage.
Always wear safety glasses, and other
appropriate protective equipment when
inspecting your Drain Cleaning Machine.
1. Clean the machine, including handles
and controls. This aids inspection and
helps prevent the machine or control from
slipping from your grip. Clean and main-
tain the machine per the maintenance
instructions.
2. Inspect the machine for:
• Proper assembly and completeness.
• Any broken, worn, missing, misaligned
or binding parts.
• Presence and readability of the warning
label (see Figure 2).
• Smooth and free movement of the ca-
ble assembly in and out of the machine.
• Any condition which may prevent safe
and normal operation.
If any problems are found, do not use the
drain cleaning machine until the problems
have been repaired.
