SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

This is the safety alert symbol. It is used to alert
you to potential personal injury hazards. Obey all
safety messages that follow this symbol to avoid
possible injury or death.
Electric shock resulting in death can occur if you
plug this machine into an improperly wired outlet. If
the ground wire is electrified, you can be electrocuted
by just touching the machine, even when the power
switch is off. A ground fault circuit interrupter will not
protect you in this situation. Use a UL approved tester to
determine if the outlet is safe.
Do not overstress cables. Overstressing cables may
cause twisting, kinking, or breaking of the cable and may
result in serious injury.
1. Only wear leather gloves. Never use any other type of glove,
such as cloth, rubber, or coated gloves. Never grasp a rotating
cable with a rag. These items could become wrapped around the
cable and cause serious injury.
2. Never operate machine with belt guard removed. Fingers can
get caught between belt and pulley.
3. Never operate machine without Guide Tube in place. Can
result in significant hand injury.
4. Do not overstress cables. Keep leather-gloved hand on the
guide tube for control when machine is running. Overstressing
cables because of an obstruction may cause twisting, kinking, or
breaking of the cable and may result in serious injury.
5. Place the machine at a distance not greater than two feet
(.6m) from the opening. Greater distances can result in cable
twisting or kinking.
6. Machine is designed for ONE-PERSON operation. Operator
must control foot switch and cable.
7. Do not operate machine in reverse (REV). Operating machine
in reverse can result in cable damage and is used only to back
cutting tool out of an obstruction.
8. Keep hands away from rotating drum. Do not reach into drum
unless machine is unplugged. Hand may be caught in the moving
parts resulting in serious injury.
9. Be careful when cleaning drains where cleaning chemicals
have been used. Avoid direct contact with skin and eyes. Drain
cleaning chemicals can cause serious burns as well as damage
the cable.
10. Do not operate machine if operator or machine is standing
in water. Will increase risk of electrical shock.
11. Wear safety glasses and rubber soled, non-slip shoes. Use
of this safety equipment may prevent serious injury.
12. 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.
13. 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.
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI)
Your machine is equipped with a ground fault circuit interrupter, which
protects you against shock if a short circuit should occur. Check that
receptacle is properly grounded. Test the GFCI before each use.
1. Plug into 120-volt receptacle.
2. Push test button. Indicator light will go out and power to machine
should cut off.
3. If light does not go out when test button is pushed, DO NOT USE
THE MACHINE until proper repairs can be made.
4. To restore power after test, push reset button. With the reset
button depressed, if the machine doesn't start, stops while run-
ning, or if the operator experiences a mild shock, DO NOT USE
THE MACHINE! Tag the machine out of service and take it to a
motor repair center or return it to the factory for repairs.
THE SECTION OF CORD BETWEEN THE WALL PLUG AND
THE GFCI IS NOT IN THE PROTECTED CIRCUIT.
