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
• Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered
benches and dark areas invite accidents.
• Do not operate tools in explosive atmospheres,
such as in the presence of flammable liquids,
gases, or dust. Tools create sparks which may ignite
the dust or fumes.
• Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while
operating a tool. Distractions can cause you to lose
control.
Electrical Safety
• Grounded tools must be plugged into an outlet,
properly installed and grounded in accordance
with all codes and ordinances. Never remove the
grounding prong or modify the plug in any way. Do
not use any adapter plugs. Check with a qualified
electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. If the tool should electrically
malfunction or break down, grounding provides a low
resistance path to carry electricity away from the user.
• Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such
as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There
is an increased risk of electrical shock if your body is
grounded.
• Do not expose electrical tools to rain or wet condi-
tions. Water entering a tool will increase the risk of
electrical shock.
• Do not abuse cord. Never use the cord to carry the
tools or pull the plug from an outlet. Keep cord
away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged
cords increase the risk of electrical shock.
• When operating a tool outside, use an outdoor
extension cord marked “W-A” or “W”. These cords
are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electrical shock.
• Use only three-wire extension cords which have
three-prong grounding plugs and three-pole receptacles which accept the tool’s plug. Use of other
extension cords will not ground the tool and increase the
risk of electrical shock.
• Use proper extension cords. (See chart.) Insufficient
conductor size will cause excessive voltage drop, loss
of power.
• Before using, test the Ground Fault Circuit Inter-
rupter (GFCI) provided with the power cord to insure it is operating correctly. GFCI reduces the risk
of electrical shock.
• Extension cords are not recommended unless they
are plugged into a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter
(GFCI) found in circuit boxes or outlet receptacles.
The GFCI on the machine power cord will not prevent
electrical shock from the extension cords.
• Keep all electric connections dry and off the ground.
Do not touch plug with wet hands. Reduces the risk
of electrical shock.
Personal Safety
• 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.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jew-
elry. Contain long hair. Keep your hair, clothing, and
gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jew-
elry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
• Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is OFF be-
fore plugging in. Carrying tools with your finger on the
switch or plugging tools in that have the switch ON in-
vites accidents.
• Remove adjusting keys or wrenches 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.

• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times. Proper footing and balance enables bet-
ter control of the tool in unexpected situations.
• 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
• Use clamp or other practical way to secure and
support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding
the work by hand or against your body is unstable
and may lead to loss of control.
• Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The correct tool will do the job better and
safer at the rate for which it is designed.
• Do not use tool if switch does not turn it ON or
OFF. Any tool that cannot be controlled with the switch
is dangerous and must be repaired.
• Disconnect the plug from the power source before
making any adjustments, changing accessories, or
storing the tool. Such preventive safety measures re-
duce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
• Store idle tools out of the reach of children and
other untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in
the hands of untrained users.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• Keep handles dry and clean; free from oil and
grease. Allows for better control of the tool.
Service
• Tool service must be performed only by qualified
repair personnel. Service or maintenance performed
by unqualified repair personnel could result in injury.
• 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.
Specific Safety Information
WARNING
Read this operator’s manual carefully before using
the K-60SP Drain Cleaner. Failure to understand
and follow the contents of this manual may result in
electrical shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.
Call the Ridge Tool Company, Technical Service Department at (800) 519-3456 if you have any questions.
Drain Cleaner Safety
• Wear leather mitt provided with the machine. Never
grasp a rotating cable with a rag or loose fitting
cloth glove. Could become wrapped around the cable
and cause serious injury.
• Never operate machine with guards or covers removed. Fingers can be caught in rotating parts.
• Do not overstress cables. Keep one hand on the
cable for control when machine is running. Over-
stressing cables because of obstruction may cause
twisting, kinking or breaking of the cable and result in serious injury.
• Position machine within two feet of inlet. Greater
distances can result in cable twisting or kinking.
• Use Rear Guide Hose. Prevents cable whipping and
possible entanglement.
• Do not operate machine in (REV) reverse. Operating
machine in reverse can result in cable damage and is
used only to back tool out of an obstruction.
• Do not operate machine with clutch handle locked
in place. Clutch is a safety device designed to stop the
rotation of cable.
• 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.
• Do not operate machine if operator or machine is
standing in water. Will increase the risk of electrical
shock.
• Wear safety glasses and rubber soled, non-slip
shoes. Use of this safety equipment may prevent se-
rious injury.
• Only use the K-60SP to clean drain lines up to 4″ in
diameter. Follow instructions on the use of the
machine. Other uses or modifying the drain cleaner for
other applications may increase the risk of injury.
