for control when machine is running. Overstressing
cables because of obstruction may cause twisting,
kinking or breaking of the cable and result in serious
injury.
• Position machine within three feet of inlet. Use
front end guide hose when it is difficult to locate
the machine near the access or clean-out. Greater
distances can result in cable twisting or kinking.
• 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.
• Operate machine from the side with the cable
clutch. Allows for better control of the machine.
• Use rear guide hose. Prevents cable from whipping
and picking up debris.
• Never operate machine with belt guard removed.
Fingers can be caught between the belt and pulley.
• 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.
• Machine is made to clean drain lines 2 to 10 di-
ameter. Follow instructions in Operator's Manual
on machine uses. Other uses may increase the risk of
injury.
• 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 prop-
erly. Gasoline is extremely flammable and is explosive
under certain conditions.
• 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.
• Be careful not to touch the muffler while it is hot.
To avoid severe burns or fire hazards, let the en-
gine cool before transporting or storing it indoors.
The muffler becomes very hot during operation and re-
mains hot for a while after stopping the engine.
