Operating Instructions - RIDGID K-6200 Mode D'emploi

K-6200 Drain Cleaning Machine
• Clear path to the electrical outlet that does not
contain any sources of heat or oil, sharp edges or
moving parts that may damage electrical cord.
• Dry place for machine and operator. Do not use the
machine while standing in water.
• Flammable liquids, vapors or dust that may ignite.
2. Position the Drain Cleaning Machine within 3' of
sewer inlet.
WARNING If sewer inlet greater than 3' from the
front of the machine, the cable will have a greater tendency
to twist or kink. Use a front guide hose or properly support
exposed cable.

WARNING
To prevent tipping during use, machine should rest firmly
on the kickstand.
4. Position the air foot switch pedal for easy operator ac-
cessibility. Machine is designed for one person
operation. (Figure 8)
5. Make sure FOR/OFF/REV switch is in the OFF po-
sition.
6. Select and install the proper tool/cutter to the end of
the cable. Securely install tool on the end of the cable
(See Figure 3). If the connection is not secure, the cut-
ting tool may fall off in use.
7. Plug the Drain Cleaning Machine into the electrical
outlet, making sure to position the power cord along
the clear path selected earlier. If the power cord
does not reach the outlet, use an extension cord in
good condition.
To avoid electric shock and electrical fires,
WARNING
never use an extension cord that is damaged or does not
meet the following requirements:
• The cord has a three-prong plug similar to shown in
Electrical Safety section.
• The cord is rated as "W" or "W-A" if being used out-
doors.
• The cord has sufficient wire thickness (16 AWG below
50'/14 AWG 50'-100'). If the wire thickness is too small,
the cord may overheat, melting the cord's insulation or
causing nearby objects to ignite.
To reduce risk of electric shock, keep
WARNING
all electrical connections dry and off the ground. Do not
touch plug with wet hands. Test the Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter (GFCI) provided with the electric cord to insure
it is operating correctly. When test button is pushed in, the
indicator light should go OFF. Reactivate by pushing the
reset button in. If indicator light goes on, the machine is
ready to use. If the GFCI does not function correctly, do
not use the machine.
