SAFETY

Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your
mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery operated
(cordless) power tool.
Work area safety
• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark
areas invite accidents.
• Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of ammable
liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
• Keep children and bystanders away while operating
a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
Electrical safety
• Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never
modify the plug in any way. Do not use any
adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools.
Unmodied plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk
of electric shock.
• Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded
surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric
shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of
electric shock.
• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for
carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or
moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase
the risk of electric shock.
• When operating a power tool outdoors, use an
extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of
a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risks of
electric shock.
• If operating a power tool in a damp location is
unavoidable, use a ground fault circuit interrupter
(GFCI) protected supply. Use of a GFCI reduces the
risk of electric shock.
Power tool use and care
• Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power
tool for your application. The correct power tool will
do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was
designed.
• Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn
it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled
with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying
the tool. Carrying power tools with your nger on the
switch or energizing power tools that have the switch
on invites accidents.
• Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the
power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating
part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times. This enables better control of the power
tool in unexpected situations.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away
from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair
can be caught in moving parts.
• If devices are provided for the connection of dust
extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are
connected and properly used. Use of dust collection
can reduce dust-related hazards.
• When lifting heavy objects, always lift with your
knees, never with your back. Consider using two-
people when lift is heavy and/or awkward.
Proper Machine Operation
• Cleaning chemicals can be present in clogged
drains. If you have previously used chemicals or are
unsure, take care to avoid contact with the cable or
debris found in the drain.
• Machine is designed to be used by one person only.
The operator must control both the cable and the foot
switch. Should the cutter stop rotating, the operator
must be able to quickly stop the motor. This helps to
prevent kinking and breaking of the cable which could
cause crushing or striking injuries.
• Do not allow the cable to twist, kink or build up
tension. Do not let the cable endure overstressed
situations. This could potentially result in crushing and/
or striking injuries and unpredicted cable reactions. If
the cable starts to become overstressed, immediately
turn the machine off by taking your foot off the switch
and rotate the cable in the opposite direction until the
twist or buckle has been removed.
• Do not operate machine with motor in reverse.
Reverse is only used when the cable is stuck or
overstressed. Running the machine in reverse could result
in possible kinked or stressed cable and personal injury.
• Never retract the cable from the inlet while drum
is spinning. The cable could whip around and cause
serious personal injury or death.
WARNING indicates a hazardous
situation that, if not avoided, could result in death or
serious injury.
