General Safety Information
WARNING
Read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire, and/or serious personal injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!
Work Area Safety
1.Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite accidents.
2.Do not operate in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Engines create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
3.Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
4.Keep the engine at least 1 meter (3 feet) away from buildings and other equipment during operation. Do not place flammable objects close to the engine. Procedures should be followed to prevent fire hazards and to provide adequate ventilation.
Personal Safety
1.Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use tool while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medications. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
2.Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
3.Remove adjusting keys or switches before turning the tool ON. A wrench or a key that is left attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury.
4.Do not over-reach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and balance enables better control of the tool in unexpected situations.
5.Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions.
Tool Use and Care
1.Store idle tools out of the reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
2.Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
3.Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition that may affect the tools operation. If damaged, have the tool serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.
4.Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model. Accessories that may be suitable for one tool may become hazardous when used on another tool.
5.Keep handles dry and clean; free from oil and grease. Allows for better control of the tool.
Service
1.Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service or maintenance performed by unqualified repair personnel could result in injury.
2.When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow instructions in the Maintenance Section of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow maintenance instructions may create a risk of electrical shock or injury.
3.Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories. Accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.
Specific Safety Information
The Operator’s Manual contains specific safety information and instructions for your protection against serious injuries including:
•Loss of fingers, hands, arms or other body parts if clothing or gloves get caught in the rods or other moving parts;
•Carbon monoxide poisoning;
•Burns due to fire or explosion;
•Eye injuries, including being blinded by the cable or thrown debris.

Read and follow safety labels on machine! Know the location and functions
of all controls before using this tool.
or clean out. Greater distances can result in cable twisting or kinking.
6.Use rear guide hose. Prevents cable from whipping and picking up debris.
WARNING
Rods and cables may twist or kink. Fingers, hands, or other body parts can be crushed or broken. Carbon monoxide poisoning can occur if operated in a confined area.
•Wear mitts with rivets
•Keep sleeves and jackets buttoned
•Keep guards in place
•Wear safety glasses
•Use caution. Gas is extremely flammable and explosive under certain conditions
•Never run engine in enclosed or confined area
READ ABOVE WARNING CAREFULLY!
Machine Safety
1.Wear leather mitt provided with the machine. Never grasp a rotating rod or cable with a rag or loose fitting cloth glove. It could become wrapped around the rod and cause serious injury.
2.Never operate machine with guards removed.
Fingers can be caught in rotating parts.
3.Do not operate machine in REV (reverse).
Operating machine in reverse can result in rod or cable damage and is used only to back tool out of an obstruction.
4.Do not overstress cables. Keep one hand on the cable for control when the machine is running.
Overstressing cables may cause twisting or kinking and result in serious injury.
5.When using cables, position machine within two feet of inlet. Use front end guide hose when it is difficult to locate the machine near the access
7.Operate machine from the side with the FOR/OFF/REV SWITCH. Allows for better control of the machine.
8.Disconnect spark plug wire. Spark plug wire should be removed when working on machine or engine to prevent accidental starting.
9.Operate rodder properly. Do not operate with more than 20 feet of rod between machine and manhole. This will minimize the possibility of kinking rods. The arcing of rod at manhole should not exceed 3 feet. When striking an obstacle that causes the tool to “hang-up”, do not attempt to “force” the machine by manually pushing on the exposed rods. This will cause kinking and whipping of the rods which could cause serious injury. Do not uncouple rods that are in a stressed condition. Read operating instructions carefully.
10.Do not overstress rods. Overstressing rods because of obstruction can be dangerous to operators, as rods may twist or kink. Do not use badly worn or bent rods.
11.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.
12.Never run the engine in 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.
13.Be careful not to touch the muffler while it is hot. To avoid severe burns or fire hazards, let the engine cool before transporting or storing it indoors.
The muffler becomes very hot during operation and remains hot for a while after stopping the engine.
14.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.
15.Machine is made to clean drain lines. Follow instructions in operator’s manual on machine uses.
Other uses may increase the risk of injury.
