SAFETY SYMBOLS 

Sewerooter T-3™  

Electric  shock  resulting  in  death 
can occur if you plug this machine 
into an improperly wired outlet.  If 
the  ground wire  is  electrified,  you 
can be electrocuted by just touch-
ing  the  machine,  even  when  the 
power  switch  is  off.   

A ground fault 

circuit interrupter  will not  protect  you 
in this situation.  Use a UL approved 
tester  to  determine  if  the  outlet  is 
safe.

  

Do  not  operate  power  tools  in    
explosive atmospheres, such as in 
the presence of flammable liquids, 
gases,  or  dust.

  Power tools create 

sparks  which  may  ignite  the  dust  or 
fumes.

 

Only  wear  leather  gloves.  Never 
use  any  other  type  of  glove,  such 
as cloth, rubber, or coated gloves.  
Never  grasp  a  rotating  cable  with 
a  rag.   

These  items  could  become 

wrapped around the cable and cause 
serious injury.

rubber  soled,  non-slip  shoes.

guard  removed.

Overstressing  cables  may  cause 
twisting,  kinking,  or  breaking  of  the 
cable  and  may  result  in  serious  in-
jury.

familiarize all personnel with the safe  

operation and maintenance  

procedures for the Sewerooter T-3.

if not avoided, will result in minor or moderate injury. 

 

This is the safety alert symbol. It is 

used to alert you to potential personal 

injury hazards. Obey all safety mes-

sages that follow this symbol to avoid
