Machine Safety
1. Wear leather mitten provided with machine. Never
grasp a rotating cable with a cloth or loose fitting
glove. It could become wrapped around cable and
cause serious injury. Replace mitten if rivets start to
pull out.
2. Do not overstress cables. Keep one hand on the
cable for control when the machine is running.
Overstressing cables because of obstruction may
cause twisting or kinking.
3. Position machine within three feet of inlet. Use
Front End Guide Hose when it is difficult to locate
the machine near the access or clean out. Greater
distances can result in cable twisting or kinking.
4. Do not operate machine in (REV) reverse. Oper-
ating machine in reverse can result in cable damage
and is used only to back tool out of an obstruction.
5. Operate machine from the side with the cable
clutch. Allows for better control of the machine.
6. Use Rear Guide Hose. Prevents cable from whipping
and picking up debris.
7. Be careful when cleaning drains where cleaning
compounds have been used. Avoid direct contact
with skin and eyes. Serious burns can result from
some drain cleaning compounds.
8. Machine is made to clean drain lines. Follow in-
structions in operator's manual on machine uses.
Other uses may increase the risk of injury.
9. Use caution when handling gasoline. Refuel in
well-ventilated area. Do not overfill fuel tank and
do not spill fuel. Make sure tank cap is closed
properly. Gasoline is extremely flammable and is
explosive under certain conditions.
10. Never run the engine i an enclosed or confined
area. Exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide
gas; exposure may cause loss of consciousness and
may lead to death. Exhaust also contains chemicals
that the State of California believes may cause cancer
or reproductive harm.
11. Be careful not to touch the muffler while it is hot.
To avoid severe burns or fire hazards, let the en-
gine cool before transporting or storing it indoors.
The muffler becomes very hot during operation and re-
mains hot for a while after stopping the engine.
