This machine is equipped with a
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI)
which is designed to prevent a serious
electrical shock. This device should be
tested on the jobsite before putting
the machine into operation as follows:
1. To ensure protection against
electric shock, test the device
before each use. When test
button is pushed in, the indicator
light should go off. Reactivate
the device by pushing the reset
button in. If the indicator light
goes on, the device is ready for
use. DO NOT use the device if
the indicator light does not go on
when reset or if the indicator

from defects or faults in any
wiring supplying power to this
device, or from contact with both
circuit conductors.
GENERAL SAFETY –
ROTATING CABLES AND
EQUIPMENT
DANGER
TO PREVENT SERIOUS BODILY
INJURY AND TO AVOID DANGER
FROM ROTATING CABLES AND
EQUIPMENT:
1. USE CAUTION AT ALL TIMES.
Cable can twist or kink and
cause serious injury. Fingers or
other body parts can be caught
in rotating parts.
2. NEVER handle the rotating
cable.
3. NEVER handle any cable
under tension. Relieve all
tension build up before
attempting to handle cable.
4. NEVER operate machine without
cable guide spring in place.
5. Use feeder to advance or retract
cable with motor switch in
FORWARD position for ALL
cleaning operations. Use
REVERSE motor position ONLY
to dislodge tool lodged in
pipeline and/or to relieve
unnecessary build-up of torque
on a cable.
6. DO NOT continue to operate
machine when cleaning tool
becomes stuck in obstruction.
Excess torque on a cable
could cause it to fracture.
