Check for misalignment or bonding of moving parts, breakage
parts, and any other condition that may affect the tools opera-
tion. If you find a damaged tool, take it to service before use it.
Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufac-
turer of your model. Suitable accessories for one tool, may be-
come hazardous when are used on another tool.
Keep cutting tools, sharpened and clean. Cutting tools in good
condition with sharpened edges, are less likely to stuck in work-
pieces or easier to control.
Is recommendable to use a safety device suitable, such a ther-
mal and differential switch when you are using an electric
equipment.
SERVICE
Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair person-
nel. Service or maintenance performed by unqualified person-
nel could result in a risk of injury.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES FOR SINK MACHINES
• Wear leather gloves provided with the machine. Never
grasp a rotating cable with a rag or cloth glove. Could become
wrapped around cable and cause serious injury.
• Never operate machine with belt guard removed. Fingers can
get caught between belt and pulley.
• Do not overstress cables. Keep gloved hand on the cable 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.
• Position machine within two feet of drain opening. Greater
distances can result in cable twisting or kinking.
• Machine is designed for one-person operation. Operator
must control foot switch and cable.
• 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.
• Keep hands away from rotating drum and distributor tube.
Do not reach into drum unless machine is unplugged. Hand
may be caught in the moving parts resulting in serious injury.
• 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.
• Do not operate machine if operator or machine is standing in
water. Will increase risk of electrical shock.
• Wear safety glasses and rubber soled, non-slip shoes. Use of
this safety equipment may prevent serious injury.
• 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 broken)
cables with genuine URREA replacement cables.
• Only use this tool in the application for which it was designed.
Follow the instructions on the proper use of the machine. Other
uses or modifying the drain cleaner for other applications may
increase risk of injury.

OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
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.
The GFCI should be tested before each use.
1. Plug into 127 V~ 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, equipment
should not be used 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
running, or if the operator experiences a mild shock, do not
use the machine! Take it to a motor repair center or return it to
the factory for repairs.
NOTE: The section of cord between the wall plug and the GFCI
is not in the protected circuit.
ADJUSTING BEFORE OPERATING
The chuck has two sets of notches, one for 5/8" cables and one
for 7/8" cables. Use the following procedure to switch between
cable sizes:
1. Remove the chuck cover by unscrewing retaining knob.
2. The chuck cone has three small notches for 5/8" cables and
three large ones for 7/8" cables. They are marked accordingly.
3. Squeeze the three jaws together while rotating the chuck
cone to the desired setting.
4. Replace the chuck cover and screw in the retaining knob.
WITH 5/8" AND 7/8" SECTIONAL CABLES
1. Place machine within two feet of drain opening. If you can't
get the machine closer, run the cable through a metal pipe to
prevent cable whipping.
2. Attach Rear Guide Hose by aligning knob on guide hose with
indent on rear of machine and tighten.
3. Slide cable section, female connector first, into front of
machine. Never use more than one section at a time.
4. Insert cutting tool into male connector. Start with the small
cutters to get the line open. After the line is opened, follow
with larger blades, which scrape the inside walls of the pipe,
assuring a real cleaning job.
NOTE: To attach a cutter to 5/8" or 7/8" sectional cables, slide
the slot on the cutter over the tab on the female connector
until the spring pin pops into place. To remove the cutter, use
the coupling key. Push the key into the hole just below the slot
in the female connector, then slide the cable ends apart. Cable
sections are coupled and uncoupled the same way.
5. Push the cable section into the drain opening as far as it will
go. Then pull an additional foot of cable from the machine so
that an arc is formed.
6. Turn the power switch to the forward position. The motor
will start running.
7. Put one gloved hand on the cable then push the chuck
handle down with the other. The cable will spin in place. Guide
the cable into the line with a firm even pressure. Do not force
the cable. You won't clear the line any faster and you could
