K-6200 Drain Cleaning Machine
• Do not over-reach. Keep proper footing and bal-
ance at all times. Proper footing and balance enables
better control of the tool in unexpected situations.
• Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hear-
ing 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 risk of starting 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 tool's 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 re-
pair personnel. Service or maintenance performed
by unqualified repair personnel could result in injury.
• When servicing a tool, use only identical replace-
ment 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.

Drain Cleaner Safety

• Wear gloves 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.
• Do not overstress cables. Keep hand on the cable
for control when machine is running. Overstressing
cables may cause twisting, kinking and result in seri-
ous injury.
• Position machine within three feet of inlet. Use
Front Guide Hose or properly support exposed
cable when it is difficult to locate the machine
near the access or clean out. Greater distances can
result in cable twisting, kinking or control problems.
• The K-6200 is designed for one person operation.
Operator must control foot switch and cable.
• Use foot switch to operate K-6200 while maintain-
ing good footing and balance. Do not operate
machine in (REV) reverse. Operating machine in re-
verse can result in cable damage and is used only to
briefly back tool out of an obstruction.
• Keep hands away from rotating drum and guide
tube. Do not reach into drum unless machine is un-
plugged. Hand may be caught in the moving parts
resulting in serious injury.
• Use kickstand during operation. The kickstand sta-
bilizes machine to prevent tipping.
• Be careful when using the K-6200 in drains where
cleaning compounds or chemicals have been used.
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.
