Safety Labels

DM10 MACHINE MANUAL

Duracable Manufacturing uses three signal words on its safety labels and instructions. These words have the following deﬁnitions:

DANGER

A ‘Danger’ label indicates an imminently hazardous situation that, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury. This signal word is to be limited to the most extreme situation, typically for machine components that, for functional purposes, cannot be guarded. The word ‘danger’ will be in white letters on a red background.

WARNING

A ‘Warning’ label indicates a potentially hazardous situation that, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury, and includes hazards that are exposed when guards are removed. It may also be used to alert against unsafe practices. The word ‘warning’ will be in black letters on an orange background.

CAUTION

A ‘Caution’ label indicates a potentially hazardous situation that, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury. It may also be used to alert against unsafe practices. The word ‘caution’ will be in black letters on a yellow background.

The safety label format includes the signal word and symbol, a picture (not required), and the message.

Information and Specifications

Safe Machine Operation

Read this machine manual thoroughly before assembling or operating the machine. Become familiar with its controls and proper use before operating. Keep this manual in a handy place for reference and parts replacement referral. This machine is designed speciﬁcally for the purpose of opening and cleaning drains. Use it for this purpose - do not use it for other purposes.

Use gloves to protect your hands. Wear them to feed and retrieve cable. Use a material that can not be easily grabbed by the cable. Most leather gloves and certain rubber gloves work well. Duracable Manufacturing Company has each type available through the Duracable Product Catalog. Also, avoid the use of loose-ﬁtting clothes or jewelry when operating this machine. Keep guards in place to protect the operator from the electric motor and electrical wiring. These guards are for safety protection and must be in place when running the machine.

Each machine is equipped with an air foot switch. Use of the air foot switch to operate the machine is required for safe operation. This allows the machine operator to turn the machine on or o with the foot while keeping both hands on the cable. Select a work area free from obstruction with room to work. Keep the machine within three feet of the pipe opening, allowing only enough room to work. This is required to shorten the length of exposed cable, thus providing maximum control in high-torque situations. Take a position that is comfortable to the left or right side of the machine for feeding or retrieving cable. For high work openings, the machine can be placed on its back as conditions require.

When performing a job, use the smallest blade ﬁrst. Rinse the pipe after each blade is run through the line in order to clean out loosened debris. Then follow with the increasing sizes of blades until the size used is one that actually scrapes the side of the pipe or sewer. The cutting blades are ﬂexible and can be compressed to enter most cleanout openings. Centrifugal force created by the spinning cable forces the blades to expand to their natural diameter or to the walls of the pipe. It is advisable to maintain a very keen cutting edge on the blades at all times. Place two hands on the cable between the outlet of your machine and the cleanout, and keep them there at all times during operation. Your hands placed in the proper position will provide a guide for the cable.

As the blade makes contact with an obstruction in the line, it stops the blade from turning and builds torque in the cable. Do not permit the blade to get hung up in an obstruction for more than three seconds. Torque buildup can be both helpful and dangerous. It is helpful when pulled from the obstruction in a timely manner. When the cable is pulled away, the tension is released and the blade turns at a high speed. When the blade is free, feed it back into the obstruction to make use of the built-up power to clean the line. It is dangerous because excess torque can cause looping over of the cable. Serious injury to ﬁngers and hands is possible unless precautions are observed.

When retrieving cable from the line, feed the cable into the machine until the blade is close to the cleanout opening. Shut o the machine and hand-feed the remaining cable into the machine. Use of a Power Cable Feed and Return (PCFR) will reduce stress and strain on both the drain cleaning machine and the service technician. Duracable Manufacturing Company recommends a PCFR unit be used on every Model DM10 machine. This unit mounts in front of the head casting assembly and with movement of a handle will feed or retrieve cable from a sewer line. Mounting time for the unit is minimal.

Unpacking Your Machine

The Model DM10 is shipped to you with the following parts: the base machine, a reel, a revolving arm, a ﬂoating ring, and a ﬂoating ring attachment. When it arrives, remove the parts immediately and inspect for damage. If any of the contents are damaged, contact your motor freight carrier immediately.

Assembling Your Machine

• Attach the D3L Reel Attachment to the male end on one end of the cable. Position the cable end with attachment inside the cable and snap into place. Feed the cable into the reel.

• Set the base machine in a down position on its rails.

• Pick up the reel, loaded with cable, with the cone shape to the front of the machine (toward the switches) and slide it onto the reel shaft. Be sure the orange drive lugs slide into the openings in the back of the reel and engage fully.

• Feed the cable through the revolving arm until it is ﬂush with the end of the arm.

• Position the revolving arm inside the reel.

• Position the extension shaft on the revolving arm into the center of the reel bearing.

• Place the revolving arm with cable extended into the rear side of the head bearing.

• Slide the collar forward using an Allen Wrench to loosen and tighten the collar.

• Slide the cable through the head bearing.

• To diassemble the DM10, reverse the assembly process.

Moving Your Machine

Break the machine down into lighter-weight components to move it to and from the job site. To do this, wrap the GFCI cord and the air foot pedal in a convenient spot on the machine, remove the revolving arm from its assembled position (leave the cable inside it and keep it with the reel), and remove the reel assembly. Various accessories are available from Duracable Manufacturing Company to assist and protect the operator during the moving process.

Lubrication Maintenance

Caution: Do not over oil these points.

• Head Bearing Assembly - The roller bearing, located in the front assembly, requires monthly lubrication. Use a grease gun to lubricate the zerk ﬁtting with multipurpose grease. A lithium-based grease is recommended.

• Reel Shaft and Reel Bearings - The reel shaft requires monthly lubrication. Use a multipurpose grease or heavy oil. Keeping the shaft lubricated means the reel will slide freely and will not ‘freeze’ to the shaft and need to be repaired. The reel bearings require some light oil monthly.

• Wheels - A light oil on the axle every month keeps the wheels rolling freely instead of ‘freezing’ to the axle.

Reel Attachment

The reel you select is set in place and slipped onto the reel shaft. Drive lugs are mounted on the drive plate and slip through the opening in the back of the reel. The reel is held in place by the revolving arm.

Cable Care Instructions

Take care of your cable for optimum performance. The recommended care procedure is as follows:

• Break in a new cable. To relieve the stress on new cable that has been coiled since its manufacture, put it in a clean line and run it for 10 minutes.

• Oil the cable once a week.

• Rinse the cable immediately after each use with the hottest water available. This is especially important if the cable was in acid or alkali during use.

• When one end of the cable begins to show wear, rewind and use the opposite end. (Tip: order the same kind of end ﬁttings on both ends of the cable.)

• If the cable kinks, cut out the kink and splice the cable ends together.

The DM10’s electrical wiring is run through the top of the frame. The Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) is built into the electrical cord for added safety. The GFCI protects the operator against electrical shock or electrocution. The air foot pedal is standard equipment on the DM10. This switch allows operators to turn the machine on and o with their foot while their hands stay on the cable.

RPM/Drive

The DM10 has a 1/3 HP motor which operates at 195 rpm.

Maneuverability

The DM10 comes standard with 6” wheels and a telescoping handle.

Cable and Reel Selections

The DM10 was designed to handle four dierent reel sizes. The reel selected is set in place and slipped onto the reel shaft. Drive lugs, mounted on the reel shaft pulley, slip through the openings in the back of the reel. The reel is held in place by the revolving arm.

The DM10 has a large-diameter front bearing which provides more ﬂexibility since it can be used with cables from 1/4” to 11/16”. (The 11/16” cable requires a special revolving arm.)

Electrical Safety

DM10 MACHINE MANUAL

Handle with Care

Most of us take electricity for granted. It has been with us since the day we were born. We use it every day for light, phone, home appliances, tools, and other equipment that helps us maintain our standard of living. Although electricity is one of the safest energy forms, we tend to forget how powerful and dangerous it can be if not used properly.

Every year many people are injured or killed by electricity. Most of these accidents could have been prevented with simple precautions and careful use of electricity. Following are some tips to help avoid electrical accidents. Read through this information. Be sure you understand its importance. If you have questions or feel you may have a potential electrical hazard, tell your supervisor or call a qualiﬁed electrician immediately.

General Electrical Guidelines

Remember, electricity is always trying to make a circuit. It can travel through an electric wire, metal pipe, or even your body. Electrical shock can occur when you come in contact with an energized electrical unit and a good conductor. Shock can range from a slight tingle to a severe burn, or death by electrocution.

Electrical accidents happen in everyday situations. Most electrocutions occur in a wet environment or when an electrical product is being repaired or installed. Think about, and take precautions against, potentially dangerous situations. When disconnecting electrical cords, pull on the plug rather than the cord to avoid damage. Use rubber gloves and rubber boots or insulated shoes to protect yourself, especially if you are in a wet or damp environment. Before using this machine, make sure a properly grounded, three-prong, 110-volt outlet is available. Where it is not available, use a three-prong adapter and connect the grounding lug to a known ground. Never cut o a grounding prong to ﬁt a two-prong outlet. This eliminates the ground protection.

Electrical Procedures

Do not leave the machine plugged in when not in use. Even with the switch o, a machine can shock or electrocute its handler. The DM10 machine must be grounded to protect the operator from shock. This is accomplished by using the Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) Cord to ensure proper grounding.

Check electrical cords before each use for signs of damage. Repair or replace cords which are pinched, cracked, frayed, or worn. Remember, the GFCI oers no protection against electric shock for wiring preceding it in the system. Your GFCI is directwired to the machine, plug the GFCI into the power source receptacle. Discontinue use and repair immediately any machine that causes the slightest shock or is damaged in any way. It could lead to a serious electrical shock or electrocution. Inspect the machine daily for wear or damage that might expose live electrical parts.

Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCI)

A GFCI works by detecting changes in electrical current ﬂow. It breaks the circuit before serious injury can occur. For your protection, heed the “DANGER” warning on the machine cover and use the GFCI cord. The GFCI must be tested before each use. Use the following procedure:

• Insert the unit into a 110-volt, AC-grounded receptacle;

• Push the “test” button in - the red indicator light should go o;

• Push the “reset” button in - if the red indicator light goes on, the unit is ready for use;

• Do not use the unit if the light does not go on when reset;

• Do not use the unit if the indicator light remains on when the test button is pushed.

Extension Cords

• Use extension cords only when necessary.

• Position cords in use to prevent tripping hazards. Do not place them in areas where they can be damaged by trac.

• Avoid coiling extension cords during use to prevent possible overheating of the cord.

• Discard cracked or damaged cords.

• The following cord sizes and lengths should be observed according to the National Electrical Code when using this machine:

• 12 gauge wire - 75’ of cord, including 25’ of GFCI cord.

• 14 gauge wire - 50’ of cord, including 25’ of GFCI cord.

• Cord sizes smaller than 12 gauge should not be used for 3/4 HP motors. Larger gauge cords can be run greater distances, but are not practical because of their size and weight.

• To protect your motor, observe the guidelines mentioned. If you have a run more than 75’, use a generator to reduce your cord length from the power source to a working distance within these guidelines.

Overhead Power Lines

• When working outdoors, keep clear from overhead power lines in all directions.

• Check the location of power lines before using a ladder. Use approved ladders made of non-conductive material.

• Never place a ladder where it can slide into a power line.

• When carrying or moving a ladder or equipment, lower it to avoid touching a power line.

• Never assume that a wire is safe to touch.

How to Bond End Fittings to duraflex

You can attach end fittings and splice cores to DuraFlex cable using a chemical bonding process, which means you can make quick cable repairs on the job—without welding. With Loctite Primer and Loctite Retaining Compound, you can quickly create a dependable bond that is as strong as a conventional weld. Please note that these products are not the same thread-locking compounds available in hardware stores and plumbing-supply houses, they are heavy-duty, permanent-bonding compounds made especially for jobs such as bonding cable fittings.
