WARNING: Before each use, inspect the drain cleaner and correct any problems to reduce risk of serious
injury from electric shock, twisted or broken cables, chemical burns, infections and other causes and
prevent drain cleaner damage.
WARNING: Read and adhere to the following guidelines to prevent serious personal injury and property
damage. ALWAYS wear ANSI approved goggles, hork gloves and appropriate equipment when setting
up your drain cleaner. For extra protection from chemicals and bacteria on the machine and in the work
area, we recommend wearing latex, rubber or other liquid barrier gloves under the heavy-duty work
gloves. Before use, inspect the gloves to be sure they are free of defects or loose sections that could be
caught in the drain cleaner. Rubber soled, non-slip shoes can help prevent slipping and electric shock,
especially on wet surfaces.
1. Once the drain cleaner is assembled, check that the device and cutters have no signs of wear or
damage. If necessary, replace worn or damaged parts prior to using this product.
2. Verify the drain cleaner is unplugged and inspect the power cord, GFCI and plug for damage. If the
plug has been modied or is missing the grounding prong or the cord is damaged, DO NOT use the
machine until the cord has been repaired by a qualied electrician.
3. Clean any oil, grease or dirt from all equipment handles and controls. This helps prevent the machine
or control from slipping during use.
4. Verify the foot switch is attached to the drain cleaner.
5. Verify the drain cleaner is properly assembled. Inspect the machine for broken or damaged parts
before every use.
6. Make sure switches and handles move smoothly between positions and lock into place and that the
bumpers at the bottom of the handle are present and rmly attached.
7. Rotate the drum and make sure that it turns freely without binding.
8. Check that all warning lables are present and rmly attached to the machine.
9. Make sure the belt gaurd is securely fastened to the drain cleaner.
10. Check the cable for any wear or damage. If any part of the cable is attened or damaged, repair it
before using the machine.
11. Verify the cable does not have multiple kinks. Kinks weaken the cable and can cause cable failure.
replace them before using the machine.
12. Look for spaces between the cable coils. Kinking, stretching or running the cable in reverse can
deform the cable. Cables with spaces between the coils should be replaced.
13. Check for signs of excessive corrosion. Corrosion weakens the cable, making it brittle. This can be
caused by storing the cable wet or using the cable with corrosive chemicals (often found in chemical clog
removers). Excessively corroded cable should be replaced.
14. Before use, fully retract the cable with no more than 2” of cable outside of the machine. This will keep
the cable from whipping when machine is turned on.
15. Set the power switch to the OFF position.
16. With dry hands, plug the cord into a properly grounded outlet and move the power switch to the
FORWARD position.
17. Move the feed lever to exactly between the F and R settings, otherwise the cable will start moving in
or out during this test.
