GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specications
provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed
below may result in electric shock, re and/or serious injury.
SAVE ALL WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or
battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
Work area safety
Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of ammable
liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks, which may ignite the dust or fumes.
Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause
you to lose control.
Electrical safety
Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use
any adaptor plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodied plugs and matching
outlets will reduce the risk of electric shock.
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.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
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.
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.
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.
Personal safety
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 inuence of drugs,
alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in
serious personal injury.
Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment
such as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries
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 nger on the switch or energizing power tools that have the
switch on invites accidents.
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.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better
control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair and clothing away
from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities,
ensure that these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce
dust-related hazards
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 faction
of a second.
Power tool use and care
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
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.
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.
Battery tool use and care
Recharge only with the charger specied by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable
for one type of battery pack may create a risk of re when used with another battery pack.
Use power tools only with specically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery
packs may create a risk of injury and re.
When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects, like paper clips,
coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects, that can make a connection
from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a
re.
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If
contact accidentally occurs, ush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek
medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns
Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or modied. Damaged or modied
batteries may exhibit unpredictable behavior resulting in re, explosion or risk of injury.
Do not expose a battery pack or tool to re or excessive temperature. Exposure to re or
temperature above 265 °F (130 °C) may cause explosion.
Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the battery pack or tool outside the
temperature range specied in the instructions. Charging improperly or at temperatures
outside the specied range may damage the battery and increase the risk of re.

Service
Have your power tool serviced by a qualied repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
Never service damaged battery packs. Service of battery packs should only be performed
by the manufacturer or authorized service providers.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR DRAIN CLEANERS
Only grasp the rotating cable with gloves recommended by the manufacturer. Latex or
loose-tting gloves or rags can become wrapped around the cable and may result in serious
personal injury.
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.
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.
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.
Only use the drain cleaner for the recommended drain sizes. Using the wrong size drain
cleaner cable can lead to twisting, kinking or breaking of the cable and may result in personal
injury.
Inspect cable for wear and damage before use. Have the worn or damaged cable replaced
by an Authorized SKIL Service Center or Service Station before using the drain cleaner.
Do not twist, kink, or over bend cables. Breaking of the cable may result in serious personal
injury.
Inspect the drain to be cleaned before use. If possible, determine the access point(s) to the
drain, the size(s) and length(s) of the drain, distance to mainlines, the nature of the blockage,
presence of drain cleaning chemicals or other chemicals, etc. If chemicals are present in the
drain, it is important to understand the specic safety measures required to work around those
chemicals. Contact the chemical manufacturer for required information.
If needed, place protective covers in the work area. The drain cleaning process can be
messy.
Make sure cable is fully retracted inside of the drain cleaner. This will prevent whipping at
start up.
Place the drain cleaner at a distance no greater than 6 inches (15 cm) from drain
opening. If the drain cleaner cannot be placed within 6 inches (15 cm) from the drain opening,
the drain opening will need to be extended using a similar size pipe and ttings. Greater
distances can cause control problems leading to twisting, kinking, breaking or whipping of the
cable.
One person must control both the trigger switch and cable. If the tool stops rotating, the user
must be able to turn the tool off to prevent twisting, kinking, breaking or whipping of the cable.
Do not operate the drain cleaner in reverse rotation except as described in this manual.
Running the drain cleaner in reverse, while in a clog or with cable bound, can cause damage
to the cable and accessories.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. Refer to them frequently and use them to instruct others who
may use this tool. If you lend this tool to someone else, also lend these instructions to them to
prevent misuse of the product and possible injury.
