• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for
carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep
cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving
parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of
electric shock.
• When operating a power tool outdoors, use an
extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Using a cord
suitable for outdoors reduces the risk of electric shock.
• If operating a power tool in a damp location is
unavoidable, use a ground fault circuit interrupter
(GFCI) protected supply. Use of a GFCI reduces the risk
of electric shock.
• Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning
the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a
rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
Power Tool Use and Care
• Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power
tool for your application. The correct power tool will
do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was
designed.
• Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn
it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled
with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
• Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or
the battery pack from the power tool before making
any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing
power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce
the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
• Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and
do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool
or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power
tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
• Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any
other condition that may affect the power tool’s
operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired
before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained power tools.
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are
less likely to bind and are easier to control.
• Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc.
in accordance with these instructions, taking into
account the working conditions and the work to
be performed. Use of the power tool for operations
different than those intended could result in a
hazardous situation.
Service
• Have your power tool serviced by a qualied repair
person using only identical replacement parts. This will
ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
• If devices are provided for the connection of dust
extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are
connected and properly used. Use of dust collection
can reduce dust-related hazards.
• When lifting heavy objects, always lift with your
knees, never with your back. Consider using
two people when lift is heavy and/or awkward.
Proper Machine Operation
• Cleaning chemicals can be present in clogged
drains. If you have previously used chemicals or are
unsure, take precise care to avoid contact with the
cable or debris found in the drain.
• Machine is designed to be used by one
person only. The operator must control both the cable
and the foot switch. Should the cutter stop rotating, the
operator must be able to turn the motor off. This helps
to prevent kinking and breaking of the cable which
could cause crushing or stricking injuries.
• Do not allow the cable to twist, kink
or build up tension. Do not let the cable indure
overstressed situations. This could potentially result
in chrushing and/or stricking injuries and unpredicted
cable reactions. If the cable starts to become
overstressed, immediately turn the machine off and
rotate the cable in the opposite direction until the twist
or buckle has been removed.
•
Do not operate machine with motor in
reverse.
Reverse is only used when the cable is stuck or
overstressed. Running the machine in reverse could result
in possible kinked or stressed cable and potential injury.
• Never retract the cable from the inlet
while drum is spinning. The cable could whip around
and cause serious injury and possible death.
Work area safety
• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark
areas invite accidents.
• Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of ammable
liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
• Keep children and bystanders away while operating
a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
Electrical Safety
• Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never
modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter
plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools.
Unmodied plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk
of electric shock.
• Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded
surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric
shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool increases the risk of
electric shock.
