SDS200 PIPE DRAIN CLEANER
Ø DO always non-slip rubber soled shoes.
Ø DO be extremely careful when cleaning drains where chemical cleaning compounds have been previously used.
Ø DO only use this machine on a properly grounded circuit in accordance with all local and national standards. DO
NOT remove the grounding plug. If in doubt that this machine is properly grounded, consult an electrician.
Ø DO always use relevant safety measures when working electrical machinery. Be aware that working in pipe drains
can cause water puddles, so make sure to use GFCI’s when necessary and personal protection devices like insulated
gloves, shoes and insulated standing pads.
Ø DO remove adjusting keys or wrenches prior to turning machine on.
Ø DO guard against electric shock by preventing body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges,
refrigerators, etc.
Ø DO keep the working area clean and brightly illuminated for optimum operational safety.
Ø DO keep the machine balanced and stable at all times.
Ø DO be mindful that power tools can expose an operator to vibrations transmitted trough contact with the machine.
Prolonged exposure can lead to medical issues, which should be discussed with a medical professional.
Ø DO NOT make adjustments to machine while the machine is running.
Ø DO NOT use cable exceeding 165’ (50M) from the machine. This could damage the machine.
Ø DO NOT leave the machine running when not in use.
Ø DO NOT hold drainpipe by hand or using the body. Always mechanically clamp or secure work pieces that are not
fixed.
Ø DO NOT allow liquids or dust to enter the machine’s ventilation system.
Ø DO NOT operate machine outside of machine specifications.
Ø DO NOT touch moving parts while the machine is running as death or dismemberment could occur.
Ø DO NOT remove machine’s panels while machine is connected to a power source. Only to be removed for service by
qualified personal and put back on the machine after service is complete.
Ø DO NOT allow children or untrained personal to operate machine.
Ø DO NOT use this machine in the rain or a wet environment. If using outdoors, make sure the machine is clean and
dry.
Ø DO NOT operate in the presence of explosive materials as power tools create sparks which may ignite dust or fumes.
Ø DO NOT use on a pipe that may contain a live electrical wire/circuit.
Ø DO NOT use this machine if the ON/OFF switch is broken.
Ø DO NOT operate this machine on the same work surface where welding is being performed. This could result in
severe damage to the machine or personal injury to the user.
Ø DO NOT operate this machine on a lower voltage as this could limit the motor life and work efficiency.
o NOTE: Use of long small gauge power extension cords can result in decreased voltage. As local voltages
can vary, it may be a good idea to test the voltage at the end of the extension cord to ensure proper voltage
requirements are met. You might also consult an electrician to make sure the length of cord matches up
with the proper wire gauge for this size motor. Make sure to use outdoor cords when operating outdoors.
Use a GFCI circuit if using in wet locations.
