Wear leather work gloves. Never grasp

including cloth gloves or a rag. They
can become wrapped around the cable,
causing hand injuries. Only wear latex or
rubber gloves under leather work gloves.

Do not allow the end of cable to stop
turning while the machine is running.
This can overstress the cable and may
cause twisting, kinking or breaking of
the cable.
Position machine within 4" (100 mm)
of the drain inlet or properly support
exposed cable when the distance ex-
ceeds 4" (100 mm). Greater distances
can cause control problems leading to
twisting, kinking or breaking of the ca-
ble.
