measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool
accidentally.
Ŷ 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.
Ŷ 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.
Ŷ Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
Ŷ 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 from those intended could
result in a hazardous situation.

or inlet being cleared. Operating the tool at greater
distances can result in the cable twisting or binding.
Ŷ Avoid running the tool in reverse for extended periods
of time as this can damage the cable.
Ŷ Never place your hand near the drum or the cable as
it is rotating. Following this rule will reduce the risk of
serious personal injury.
Ŷ Clogged drains may contain bacteria, cleaning
solutions, or other potentially harmful substances.
Always wear protective clothing, eye protection,
and gloves while operating this tool to prevent these
substances from contacting your skin and eyes.
Ŷ When removing the cable from a drain, remove it slowly
to avoid “splash back”. Use warm, soapy water to
clean hands and other body parts that may have been
exposed to potentially harmful substances.
Ŷ Battery tools do not have to be plugged into an electrical
outlet; therefore, they are always in operating condition.
Be aware of possible hazards when not using your
battery tool or when changing accessories. Following
this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or
serious personal injury.
Ŷ Do not place battery tools or their batteries near fire or
heat. This will reduce the risk of explosion and possibly
injury.
Ŷ Do not crush, drop or damage battery pack. Do not use
a battery pack or charger that has been dropped or
received a sharp blow. A damaged battery is subject to
explosion. Properly dispose of a dropped or damaged
battery immediately.
Ŷ Batteries can explode in the presence of a source
of ignition, such as a pilot light. To reduce the risk of
serious personal injury, never use any cordless product
in the presence of open flame. An exploded battery
can propel debris and chemicals. If exposed, flush with
water immediately.
