Safety Checklist (Continued):
9. NEVE R attempt to service equipment beyond the recommendations of the operating instructions. All other servicing
should be referred to qualified Electric Eel service personnel.
10. To maintain safe operation, USE ONLY identical replacement parts and cables from Electric Eel.
11. ALWAYS KEEP CLEAR of rotating shafts, pulleys, belts and other rotating parts.
12. DO NOT continue to operate machine when cleaning tool becomes stuck in an obstruction. EXCESS TORQUE ON A
CABLE COULD CAUSE IT TO FRACTURE. RELEASE CABLE TENSION, to prevent unnecessary build-up of
torque on the cable. Keep machine under control at all times. (Refer to operating instructions to free cleaning tool.)
13. NEVE R HANDLE ANY C AB LE UNDER TENSION. ALWAYS relieve tension on the cable by reverse rotation or by
turning the switch off and unplugging the cord.
14. NEVE R force a tool and cable into pipeline blockage. This may overload the cable or tool and cause it to fracture.
15. Use CORRECT TOOL for the job or application. Check the tool chart and use the proper tool for the size of the line
being cleaned.
16. To maintain safe and efficient operation, CLEAN THOROUGHLY all cables and tools with water after use. Acids in
the drain and sewer lines can attack and deteriorate the metal of the cables and tools. Deterioration can cause
premature fracture or breakage in tools or cable.
