SaFetyOperatiOnMaintenance Setup
2. electrical safety
a. power tool plugs must match the outlet.
never modify the plug in any way. Do not use
any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded)
power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching
outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b. avoid body contact with earthed or
grounded surfaces, such as pipes,
radiators, ranges and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric shock
if your body is earthed or grounded.
c. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a power tool
will increase the risk of electric shock.
d. Do not abuse the cord. never use the cord
for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power
tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp
edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled
cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e. When operating a power tool outdoors,
use an extension cord suitable for outdoor
use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor
use reduces the risk of electric shock.
f. if operating a power tool in a damp location
is unavoidable, use a ground fault circuit
interrupter (GFci) protected supply. Use of
a GFCI reduces the risk of electric shock.
3. personal safety
a. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and
use common sense when operating a
power tool. Do not use a power tool while
you are tired or under the influence of
drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment
of inattention while operating power tools
may result in serious personal injury.
b. use personal protective equipment. always
wear eye protection. Protective equipment
such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard
hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate
conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c. prevent unintentional starting. ensure the
switch is in the off-position before connecting
to power source and/or battery pack, picking
up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools
with your finger on the switch or energizing power
tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
d. remove any adjusting key or wrench
before turning the power tool on. A wrench
or a key left attached to a rotating part of the
power tool may result in personal injury.
e. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. This enables better control
of the power tool in unexpected situations.
f. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing
or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing
and gloves away from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair
can be caught in moving parts.
g. if devices are provided for the connection
of dust extraction and collection
facilities, ensure these are connected
and properly used. Use of dust collection
can reduce dust-related hazards.
h. Do not let familiarity gained from frequent
use of tools allow you to become
complacent and ignore tool safety
principles. A careless action can cause
severe injury within a fraction of a second.
i. Only use safety equipment that has been
approved by an appropriate standards agency.
Unapproved safety equipment may not provide
adequate protection. Eye protection must be
ANSI‑approved and breathing protection
must be NIOSH‑approved for the
specific hazards in the work area.
j. Avoid unintentional starting.
Prepare to begin work before turning on the tool.
k. Do not leave the tool unattended when
it is plugged into an electrical outlet.
Turn off the tool, and unplug it from its
electrical outlet before leaving.
l. This product is not a toy.
Keep it out of reach of children.
m. People with pacemakers should consult their

in close proximity to heart pacemaker could
cause pacemaker interference or pacemaker
failure. In addition, people with pacemakers
should:
• Avoid operating alone.
• Do not use with Trigger locked on.
• Properly maintain and inspect to avoid
electrical shock.
• Properly ground power cord.
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI)
should also be implemented – it prevents
sustained electrical shock.
n. The warnings, precautions, and instructions
discussed in this instruction manual cannot
cover all possible conditions and situations
that may occur. It must be understood by the
operator that common sense and caution are
factors which cannot be built into this product,
but must be supplied by the operator.
4. power tool use and care
a. Do not force the power tool. use the correct
power tool for your application. The correct
power tool will do the job better and safer
at the rate for which it was designed.

SaFety OperatiOn MaintenanceSetup
b. Do not use the power tool if the switch
does not turn it on and off. Any power
tool that cannot be controlled with the switch
is dangerous and must be repaired.
c. Disconnect the plug from the power
source and/or remove the battery pack,
if detachable, from the power tool before
making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the
risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
d. 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.
e. Maintain power tools and accessories.
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.
f. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g. 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.
h. Keep handles and grasping surfaces
dry, clean and free from oil and grease.
Slippery handles and grasping surfaces
do not allow for safe handling and control
of the tool in unexpected situations.
5. Service
a. Have your power tool serviced by a
qualified repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that
the safety of the power tool is maintained.
b. Maintain labels and nameplates on the tool.
These carry important safety information.
If unreadable or missing, contact
Harbor Freight Tools for a replacement.
6. Safety instructions for drain cleaners
a. Before using the tool, test the ground
fault circuit interrupter (GFci) provided
with the supply cord to ensure it is
operating correctly. A properly operating
GFCI reduces the risk of electrical shock.
b. Only use extension cords that are
protected by an GFci. The GFCI on
the machine power cord will not prevent
electrical shock from the extension cords.
c. Only grasp the rotating cable with gloves
recommended by the manufacturer.
Latex or loose-fitting gloves or rags can
become wrapped around the cable and
may result in serious personal injury.
d. Do not allow the cutter to stop turning
while the cable is turning. This can
overstress the cable and may cause
twisting, kinking or breaking of the cable
and may result in serious personal injury.
e. use latex or rubber gloves inside the
gloves recommended by the manufacturer,
goggles, face shields, protective clothing,
and respirator when chemicals, bacteria
or other toxic or infectious substances are
suspected to be in a drain line. Drains may
contain chemicals, bacteria and other substances
that may cause burns, be toxic or infectious or
may result in other serious personal injury.
f. practice good hygiene. Do not eat or
smoke while handling or operating the
tool. after handling or operating drain
cleaning equipment, use hot, soapy water
to wash hands and other body parts
exposed to drain contents. This will help
reduce the risk of health hazards due to
exposure to toxic or infectious material.
g. Only use the drain cleaner for the
recommended drain sizes. Using the
wrong size drain cleaner can lead to
twisting, kinking or breaking of the cable
and may result in personal injury.

Grounding
tO preVent eLectric SHOcK anD DeatH FrOM
incOrrect GrOunDinG Wire cOnnectiOn:
check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly
grounded. Do not modify the power cord plug provided with the tool. never remove the
grounding prong from the plug. Do not use the tool if the power cord or plug is damaged. if damaged, have
it repaired by a service facility before use. if the plug will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by
a qualified electrician.
Double insulated tools: tools with two prong plugs
Outlets for 2-prong plug
1. Tools marked “Double Insulated” do not
require grounding. They have a special
double insulation system which satisfies
OSHA requirements and complies with
the applicable standards of Underwriters
Laboratories, Inc., the Canadian Standard
Association, and the National Electrical Code.
2. Double insulated tools may be used in either of the
120 volt outlets shown in the preceding illustration.
(See Outlets for 2-prong plug.)
Ground Fault circuit interrupter (GFci)
The appliance is equipped with a ground fault
circuit interrupter (GFCI), which reduces the risk of
electric shock. Check that the receptacle is properly
grounded and test the GFCI before each use.
1. Plug the GFCI Power Plug into a
grounded, 120 VAC electrical outlet.
2. Press the TEST button. The GFCI
indicator light should go out and power
to the appliance should cut off.
WarninG! tO preVent SeriOuS inJury: if the
light does not go out when teSt button is pushed,
do not use the appliance until it is properly repaired.
3. To restore power after TEST,
push the RESET button.
WarninG! tO preVent SeriOuS inJury: if the
appliance doesn’t start, stops while running, or if
you experience an electric shock, disconnect the
power cord and do not use the appliance. Have it
repaired by a qualified electrician or replace it.
note: The Power Cord is not GFCI‑protected from
the GFCI to the 3‑prong plug in the electrical outlet.

SaFety OperatiOn MaintenanceSetup
extension cords
1. Grounded tools require a three wire extension cord.
Double Insulated tools can use either
a two or three wire extension cord.
2. As the distance from the supply outlet increases,
you must use a heavier gauge extension cord.
Using extension cords with inadequately sized wire
causes a serious drop in voltage, resulting in loss of
power and possible tool damage. (See table a.)
3. The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the
greater the capacity of the cord. For example,
a 14 gauge cord can carry a higher current
than a 16 gauge cord. (See table a.)
4. When using more than one extension cord
to make up the total length, make sure
each cord contains at least the minimum
wire size required. (See table a.)
5. If you are using one extension cord for more
than one tool, add the nameplate amperes
and use the sum to determine the required
minimum cord size. (See table a.)
6. If you are using an extension cord outdoors, make
sure it is marked with the suffix “W‑A” (“W” in
Canada) to indicate it is acceptable for outdoor use.
7. Make sure the extension cord is properly wired
and in good electrical condition. Always replace
a damaged extension cord or have it repaired
by a qualified electrician before using it.
8. Protect the extension cords from sharp objects,
excessive heat, and damp or wet areas.

Work area
1. Verify that work area has adequate
lighting for the job.
2. Make sure work area is free of flammable liquids,
vapors or dust that may ignite. Sparks can be
generated during Drain Cleaner operation.
Do not work in area until these sources of
ignition have been identified and corrected.
3. Do not use the appliance while standing in water.
If needed, remove the water from the work area.
4. Verify the electrical outlet is properly grounded.
A three‑prong or GFCI outlet may not be
properly grounded. If in doubt, have outlet
inspected by a licensed electrician.
5. Make sure there is a clear, unobstructed path
from the Drain Cleaner to the electrical outlet.
6. Inspect the drain to be cleaned. If possible,
determine the best access point(s) to the drain, the
size(s) and length(s) of the drain, distance to tanks
or mainlines, the nature of the blockage, presence
of drain cleaning chemicals or other chemicals, etc.
7. If there are chemicals present in the drain, read
and adhere to the specific safety measures
required to work around those chemicals.
Contact the chemical manufacturer for required
safety instructions and information.
8. If necessary, remove fixture (toilet, sink, etc.) to
allow access to the drain. Do not feed the cable
through a fixture. This could damage
the Drain Cleaner and the fixture.
9. If needed, place protective covers over
the work area floor. Cleaning the clogged
drain can be a messy operation.
10. To prevent Cable from whipping, place
Drain Cleaner within 6 inches of drain line.
the greater the distance from the drain line, the
higher the risk of the cable twisting or kinking.
11. If needed, set up barriers to keep
bystanders away from the Drain Cleaner
and work area during operation.
12. Run the power cord along the clear path.
With dry hands, plug the Drain Cleaner
into a properly grounded outlet. Keep all
connections dry and off the ground.
13. If the power cord is not long enough, use an
extension cord that is in good condition and
has a plug similar to the one supplied on the
Drain Cleaner. Keep the connection off the ground
to prevent it from accidentally getting wet.
14. Verify that the extension cord is rated for
outdoor use and contains a W or W‑A in
the cord designation (i.e. SOW).
15. Verify the extension cord has sufficient wire size
(16AWGfor50′orless,14AWGfor50′–100′long).
Undersized wires can overheat, melting the
insulation or causing a fire or other damage.
16. When using an extension cord, the GFCI
on the Drain Cleaner does not protect the
extension cord. If the outlet is not GFCI protected,
use a plug‑in type GFCI between the outlet and
the extension cord. This will reduce the risk of
shock if there is a fault in the extension cord.

This will keep Cable from hazardously
“whipping” when activating the Drain Cleaner.
3. Make sure rotation Switch is in L position.
nOtice: the r position of the rotation Switch must
OnLy be used momentarily to relieve cable tension.
if it is used for even just a few seconds in a
row, the cable may be permanently damaged.
LeaVe FeeD HanDLe in neutraL pOSitiOn.
While in the r position, the cable movement from
the Feed Handle would be reversed as well.
4. With the Drain Cleaner off, pull the

5. Hold the tool properly using both hands if applicable.
6. Squeeze Trigger and press Feed Handle forward
to continue feeding Cable into the drain.
7. As you feed Cable, you may feel and see
Cable slow down and/or start to wind or load up
(a “twisting” or “squirming” motion). This may
indicate a change in drain line (such as a drain trap,
elbow, etc.), a build up in the drain (mud or grease),
or the actual blockage. Continue to slowly feed
the Cable until the Cable reaches the blockage.
cautiOn! Do not allow cable to build up outside
drain. this can cause cable to twist, kink or break.
8. If there is an exceptionally difficult clog, release
the Trigger, lock the Rotation Switch in the middle,
and twist the Lock Ring counterclockwise to exert
direct force on the cable. This will also prevent
the Cable from turning, advancing, or retracting.
TO PREVENT CABLE DAMAGE, DO NOT TOUCH
THE TRIGGER WHILE THE LOCK RING IS
LOCKED. Twist the Lock Ring clockwise and switch
Rotation Switch to L to resume normal operation.
9. If the Cable becomes lodged in a narrow part of
