Drain-Rooter™

the Maintenance section of this manual.

Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow

Maintenance Instructions may create a risk of

electric shock or injury.

Specific Safety Information

Be sure that the unit is plugged into a

properly grounded receptacle.

If in doubt,

check receptacle before plugging in machine.

Check the power cord to see that there are no

cuts or frays, and that the grounding prong on

the plug is still in place.

2. The Skil drive unit used in the Drain-Rooter is

double insulated, and therefore has no

grounding wire.

To reduce the risk of electric

shock, this equipment has a polarized plug

(one blade is wider than the other).

The plug

will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the

plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the

plug. If the plug still does not fit, contact a

qualified electrician to install the proper outlet.

Do not change the plug in any way.

If the power cord supplied with the machine

is not long enough, be sure to use a 16

gauge heavy duty extension cord no more

than 50 feet long and in good condition.

Using lighter cords can result in severe power

loss and motor overheating.

Wear leather gloves provided with the

machine. Never grasp a rotating cable with

a rag or cloth glove.

Could become wrapped

around cable and cause serious injury.

Never operate machine with guard removed.

Fingers can get caught in the mechanism.

Do not overstress cables. Keep gloved

hand on the cable for control when machine

is running.

Overstressing cables because of

an obstruction may cause twisting, kinking, or

breaking of the cable and may result in serious

injury.

Position machine within two feet of drain

opening.

Greater distances can result in cable

twisting or kinking. If you can't get the machine

this close to the drain opening, run the cable

through metal tubing or conduit to prevent cable

whipping and kinking.

Machine is designed for one-person

operation.

Operator must control foot switch

and cable.

Be careful when cleaning drains where

cleaning chemicals have been used. Avoid

direct contact with skin and eyes.

Drain

cleaning chemicals can cause serious burns as

well as damage the cable.

10.

Wear rubber boots and rubber glove inserts

when work area is wet. Do not operate

machine if operator or machine is standing

in water.

Will increase risk of electrical shock.

11.

Wear safety glasses and rubber soled, non-

slip shoes.

Use of this safety equipment may

prevent serious injury.

12.

Before starting each job, check that the

cable in the drum/cage is not broken or

kinked, by pulling the cable out and

checking for wear or breakage.

Always

replace worn out (kinked or broken) cables with

genuine GENERAL replacement cables.

13.

Only use this tool in the application for

which it was designed. Follow the

instructions on the proper use of the

machine.

Other uses or modifying the drain

cleaner for other applications may increase risk

of injury.

Note:

The section of cord between the

wall plug and the GFCI is not in the

protected circuit.

Note:

The section of cord between

the wall plug and the GFCI is not in

the protected circuit.

Variable Speed Switch

A variable speed control is built into the trigger

mechanism. You can control and increase the

machine's speed by applying more pressure to the

foot pedal until you get the speed that you want.

You can also control the machine's direction of

rotation by switching the forward and reverse lever,

which is located just above the trigger switch.

Move the lever toward the Forward arrow for

forward rotation and toward the Back arrow for

reverse rotation.

Cable Application Chart (Table 1)

Cable Size Pipe Size Typical Applications

1/4” 1-1/4" to 2"

Small lines, tubes, and

shower drains.

5/16" 1-1/2" to 2"

Sinks, basins, and small

drains.

3/8" 2" to 3"

Stacks, toilets, small

drains (Not Roots).

The 1/4" and 5/16" diameter cables with EL-Basin plug

heads can be spun through most strainer crossbars and

work well in lines blocked by soft stoppages such as

hair, soap, fats, etc.
