TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK AND DEATH FROM INCORRECT GROUNDING

WIRE CONNECTION:
SAFETY

Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly
grounded. Do not modify the power cord plug provided with the tool. Never remove the
grounding prong from the plug. Do not use the tool if the power cord or plug is damaged. If damaged, have
it repaired by a service facility before use. If the plug will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by
a qualified electrician.

Spade Cutter Finishing tool; used for scraping the inside edges of pipes.

NOTICE: If the cause of the obstruction is unknown, use the Boring Bulb Cutter to explore
the obstruction and, if possible, retrieve a piece to inspect. Once you can see the cause of the
obstruction, select the appropriate tool for the job. Run the smallest available tool through the
blockage to allow the backed up water to flow and carry away the debris as the drain is cleaned.
Once the drain is flowing, more appropriate tools can be used on the rest of the blockage.
Keep in mind that the largest tool used should be no bigger than the drain’s inside diameter, minus an inch.

TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY FROM TWISTED OR BROKEN CABLES, CABLE ENDS WHIPPING AROUND,
MACHINE TIPPING, CHEMICAL BURNS, INFECTIONS, ELECTRIC SHOCK AND OTHER CAUSES:
SAFETY

Follow operating instructions for your model explicitly.

Since drains likely contain hazardous chemicals or bacteria, wear

appropriate protective equipment, such as:
• ANSI-approved splash-resistant safety goggles and respirator under face shield.
• Latex, rubber or other liquid barrier gloves under heavy-duty LEATHER work gloves.
Do not use a glove you are not currently wearing or a rag to hold the rotating cable. Cloth materials
can tangle in the rotating cable, leading to serious personal injury. Before use, inspect gloves
to be sure they are free of defects or loose sections that could get caught in Drain Cleaner.
• Rubber soled, non-slip shoes to help prevent slipping and electric shock.
