SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR DRAIN CLEANERS
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 cable can lead to twisting, kinking or breaking of the cable and may result in personal
injury.
Inspect cable for wear and damage before use. Have the worn or damaged cable replaced
by an Authorized SKIL Service Center or Service Station 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, determine 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 specific 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 inside of the drain cleaner. This will prevent whipping at
start up.
Place the drain cleaner at a distance no greater than 6 inches (15 cm) from drain
opening. If the drain cleaner cannot be placed within 6 inches (15 cm) from the drain opening,
the drain opening will need to be extended using a similar size pipe and fittings. Greater
distances can cause control problems leading to twisting, kinking, breaking or whipping of the
cable.
One person must control both the trigger switch and cable. If the tool stops rotating, the user
must be able to turn the tool off to prevent twisting, kinking, breaking or whipping of the cable.
Do not operate the drain cleaner in reverse rotation except as described in this manual.
Running the drain cleaner in reverse, while in a clog or with cable bound, can cause damage
to the cable and accessories.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. Refer to them frequently and use them to instruct others who
may use this tool. If you lend this tool to someone else, also lend these instructions to them to
prevent misuse of the product and possible injury.
