put motor or cord in water or other liquid.
3. Do not wear cloth gloves or loose clothing, or use
a rag to grasp the cable to prevent entanglement.

while handling and using Drain Cleaner. Drains may
contain chemicals, bacteria and other substances
that may be toxic, infectious, cause burns or other
issues. Appropriate personal protective equipment
always includes ANSI-approved splash-resistant
safety glasses under face shield, NIOSH-approved
dust mask/respirator, and heavy-duty LEATHER
work gloves, and may include equipment such
as latex or rubber gloves under LEATHER work
gloves, protective clothing, and steel toed footwear.

9. Do not put too much stress on Cable.
Quickly release tension if it starts to build
in the cable. Excess tension will cause
the Cable to twist, kink, or break.
10. Reverse Motor direction only when pulling the
Cable off an obstruction. Trying to push the
Cable down the pipe or pull it out of a pipe while
in reverse operation will unravel and break
