General Power Tool Safety Warnings
*
WARNING
Read all safety warnings and instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire, and/or serious injury.
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 benches
and dark areas invite accidents.
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmo-
spheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
Keep children and by-standers away while oper- ating 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. Un-
modified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded sur-
faces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and re­frigerators. There is an increased risk of electrical
shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet condi- tions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for car-
rying, 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 ex- tension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of elec­tric shock.
If operating a power tool in a damp location is un-
avoidable, use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protected supply. Use of a GFCI reduces
the risk of electric shock.
Safety Symbols
In this operator’s manual and on the product, safety symbols and signal words are used to communicate important safety information. This section is provided to improve understanding of these signal words and symbols.
This is the safety alert symbol. It is used to alert you to potential personal injury hazards. Obey all safety messages that follow this symbol to avoid possible injury or death.
DANGER indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.
WARNING indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
CAUTION indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in minor or moderate injury.
NOTICE indicates information that relates to the protection of property.
This symbol means read the operator’s manual carefully before using the equipment. The operator’s manual contains important information on the safe and proper operation of the equipment.
This symbol means always wear safety glasses with side shields or goggles when handling or using this equipment to reduce the risk of eye injury.
NOTICE
This symbol indicates the risk of hands, fingers or other body parts being caught, wrapped or crushed in the drain cleaning cable.
This symbol indicates a risk of electrical shock.
* The text used in the General Safety Rule section of this manual is verbatim, as required, from the applicable UL/CSA 60745 4th edition standard. This section
contains general safety practices for many different types of power tools. Not every precaution applies to every tool, and some do not apply to this tool.

Personal Safety
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use com­mon sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inat-
tention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing pro­tection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is
in the off-position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the
switch or energizing power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turn- ing the 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. Proper footing and balance enables bet­ter control of the tool in unexpected situations.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewel-
ry. 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.
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.
Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or
the battery pack from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures re-
duce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
Store idle power tools out of the reach of children
and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the pow-
Auto-Clean™ Drain Cleaning Machine
er tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of un-
trained users.
Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained power tools.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly main-
tained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in
accordance with these instructions, taking into ac­count the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations dif-
ferent from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
Service
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
