Handylectric™
3.
The drive unit used in the Super-Vee is double insulated,
and therefore has no grounding wire. To reduce the risk of
electric shock, this equipment has a polarized plug (one
blade is wider than the other). The plug will fit in a polarized
outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet,
reverse the plug. If the plug still does not fit, contact a qualified
electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not change the plug in
any way.
4.
If the power cord supplied with the machine is not long
enough, be sure to use a 16 gauge heavy duty extension
cord no more than 50 feet long and in good condition. Using
lighter cords can result in severe power loss and motor overheat-
ing.
5.
Place the machine at a distance not greater than six inches
from drain opening. Greater distances can result in cable twist-
ing or kinking.
6.
Machine is designed for ONE-PERSON operation. Operator
must control trigger switch and cable.
7.
Never take hold of a rotating cable. Pull the cable out, or
push it back into the container by hand only when the motor
is stopped. When the motor is turning, always have one
hand controlling the trigger switch and the other hand
around the grip shield. Operator's hand may be caught in the
moving parts resulting in serious injury.
8.
Be careful when cleaning drains where cleaning chemicals
have been used. Avoid direct contact with corrosive drain clean-
ers. Drain cleaning chemicals can cause serious burns, as well
as damage the cable. Neutralize or remove corrosive drain
cleaners in the drain before starting the job.
9.
Do not operate machine if operator or machine is standing
in water. Will increase risk of electrical shock.
10. Wear safety glasses and rubber soled, non-slip shoes. Use
of this safety equipment may prevent serious injury.
11. Before starting each job, check that the cable in the drum is
not broken or kinked, by pulling the cable out and checking
for wear or breakage. Always replace worn out (kinked or bro-
ken) cables with genuine GENERAL replacement cables.
12. Only use this tool in the application for which it was de-
signed. Follow the instructions on the proper use of the ma-
chine. Other uses or modifying the drain cleaner for other appli-
cations may increase risk of injury.

VARIABLE SPEED SWITCH
A variable speed control is built into the trigger mechanism. You can
control and increase the machine's speed by applying more trigger
pressure until you get the speed that you want.
You can also control the machine's direction of rotation by switching
the forward and reverse lever, which is located just above the trigger
switch. Move the lever toward the Forward arrow for forward rotation
and toward the Back arrow for reverse rotation. Switch to OFF posi-
tion when the tool is not in use.
