• 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 fire.999-995-420.10_REV C

• 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.

• One person must control both the cable and switch. If the cutter stops rotating, the operator must be able to turn the tool off to prevent the cable from twisting, kinking and breaking.

• Use latex or rubber gloves inside the gloves re- commended 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 sub- stances 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 can lead to twisting, kinking or breaking of the cable and may result in personal injury.

• Keep hands away from rotating drum. Do not reach into drum unless battery or adapter is removed. Hand may be caught in the moving parts.

• Keep glove-covered hand on the cable whenever the machine is running. This provides better control of the cable and helps prevent twisting, kinking and breaking of the cable that may result in serious per- sonal injury.

• Position machine cable outlet within 3' (0.9 m) of the drain inlet or properly support exposed cable when the distance exceeds 3' (0.9 m). Greater dis- tances can cause control problems leading to twisting, kinking or breaking of the cable. Twisting, kinking or breaking cable may cause striking or crushing injuries.

• Do not operate with cable end outside of drain. Rotating cable end can whip, strike, catch or cut. Insert cable at least 12" (0.3m) into drain before starting machine.

• Do not operate the machine in REV (reverse) rota- tion except as described in this manual. Operating in reverse can result in cable damage and is used to back (unscrew) the cable end out of blockages.

• Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact acci- dentally occurs, flush 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 modified. Damaged or modified batteries may ex- hibit unpredictable behavior resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.

• Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or ex- cessive temperature. Exposure to fire 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 specified in the instructions. Charging im- properly or at temperatures outside the specified range may damage the battery and increase the risk of fire. Service

• 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.

• Never service damaged battery packs. Service of battery packs should only be performed by the manufacturer or authorized service providers.

Read these precautions carefully before using the K-4310 FXP Drum Machine to reduce the risk of electrical shock or other serious personal injury. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS! Keep this manual with machine for use by the operator. K-4310 FXP Drum Machine Safety

• 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.

• Only use extension cords that are protected by a GFCI. The GFCI on the machine power cord will not prevent electrical shock from extension cords.

• Only grasp the rotating cable with gloves recom- mended by the manufacturer. Latex or loose fitting gloves or rags can become wrapped around the cable and may result in serious personal injury. K-4310 FXP Drum Machine999-995-420.10_REV C

• Cable is a spring that stores energy if stuck, stretched or twisted, including flipped in drum. Even if the machine is “OFF”, this stored energy can cause the cable to unexpectedly move, twist or kink and cause injury. Exercise caution around cables in these situations to reduce the risk of injury.

• Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair and clothing away from moving parts. Loose clothing, jewelry or hair can be caught in moving parts.

• Do not operate this machine if operator or machine is standing in water. Operating machine while in water increases the risk of electrical shock.

• Do not let the use or monitoring of the control panel distract you from controlling the cable and drain cleaning process. Inattention to the cable and process can cause you to lose control and increases the risk of serious injury.

• Do not use if there is the risk of contact with other utilities (such as natural gas or electric) during operation. Visual inspection of the drain with a camera is a good practice. Cross bores, improperly placed utilities and damaged drains could allow the cutter to contact and damage the utility. This could cause electrical shock, gas leaks, fire, explosion or other serious damage or injury.

• Sound measurements are measured in accordance with a standardized test per Standard EN 62481-1. - Sound emissions may vary due to your location and specific use of these tools. - Daily exposure levels for sound need to be evaluated for each application and appropriate safety measures taken when needed. Evaluation of exposure lev-els should consider the time a tool is switched off and not in use. This may significantly reduce the exposure level over the total working period.** Cable Travel Tolerance – this tolerance assumes that the correct cable pa-rameters are entered (cable diameter, cable length and drum) and that the full cable length is in the drum (the cable end is no more than 6" (150 mm) out of the end of the AUTOFEED cable feed unit) when the cable travel is zeroed. Incorrect cable parameters and zeroing the cable travel with cable out of the drum results in a greater cable travel tolerance, in some cases up to +/- 8 ft (+/-2.5m). Cable travel does not necessarily equal distance the cable end has traveled in the drain. All specifications are nominal and may change as design improvements occur. Standard Equipment All K-4310 FXP Drum Machines comes with one pair of RIDGID Drain Cleaning Gloves. Refer to the RIDGID cata- log for details on equipment supplied with specific machine catalog numbers. This machine is made to clean drains. If prop- erly used it will not damage a drain that is in good condi- tion and properly designed, constructed and maintained.

Inattention to the cable and drain cleaning process can cause you to lose control and increases the risk of seri- ous injury. The Record button is used to start and stop recording. Recording will also stop when ON/OFF switch is moved to OFF position. Recorded information includes cable travel and motor amp draw information versus time. The K-4310 FXP Drum Machine will hold 50 recordings. When 50 recordings are reached, new recordings will overwrite the oldest record- ings. Additional recordings can be stored via the RIDGID Link App. Recorded information can be accessed and managed through the RIDGID Link App - see the RIDGID Link App Connection (Wireless Communication) section for further information. Hibernation Mode When running on battery power, if the ON/OFF switch is ON and the machine is not used for 15 minutes, it will move into “Hibernation Mode” to conserve battery charge. In Hibernation Mode, the display and tool status lights will turn off and the machine cannot be used until the ON/ OFF switch is cycled OFF and back ON. See Figure 4. If a Job Recording is active while the machine is in Hibernation Mode, the in-progress recording will be saved. When the machine is turned back ON, a new recording will need to be started. Pre-Operation Inspection WARNING Before each use, inspect your K-4310 FXP Drum Machine and correct any problems to reduce the risk of serious injury from electric shock, twisted or broken cables, chemical burns, infections and other causes and prevent machine damage. Always wear safety glasses, RIDGID drain cleaning gloves, and other appropriate protective equipment when inspecting your machine.

1. Inspect the RIDGID drain cleaning gloves or mitts

(“gloves”) (Figure 12). Make sure they are in good condition with no holes, tears or loose sections that could be caught in the rotating cable. It is important not to wear improper or damaged gloves. The gloves protect your hands from the rotating cable. If the gloves are not RIDGID drain cleaning gloves or are damaged or worn out, do not use machine until RIDGID drain cleaning gloves are available. Wear latex or rubber glove inside the RIDGID drain cleaning gloves to protect against drain contents. Figure 12 – RIDGID Drain Cleaning Gloves – Leather, PVC

2. Make sure that the main ON/OFF switch is set to the

OFF position and remove battery/power adapter.

3. Clean the drain cleaning machine, including handles

and controls. This aids inspection and helps prevent the machine or control from slipping from your grip. Clean and maintain the machine per the mainte- nance instructions.

4. Inspect the machine for the following:

• Proper assembly, maintenance and completeness.

• Any broken, worn, missing, misaligned or binding parts.

• Rotate the drum and make sure that it turns freely without binding.

• Smooth and free movement of the AUTOFEED lever throughout range.

• Presence and readability of warning labels (Fi gure 1).

• Any other condition which may prevent safe and normal operation. If any problems are found, do not use the drain clean- ing machine until the problems have been repaired.

5. Clean any debris from the cable and cutting tools.

Inspect cables for wear and damage. Inspect for:

• Obvious flats worn into the outside of cable (cable is made from round wire and the profile should be round).

• Multiple or excessively large kinks (slight kinks up to 15 degrees can be straightened).

• Space between cable coils indicating that the cable has been deformed by stretching, kinking, or running in reverse (REV).

• Excessive corrosion from storing wet or exposure to drain chemicals. All these forms of wear and damage weaken the cable and make cable twisting, kinking or breaking

more likely during use. Replace worn and damaged cable before using drain cleaning machine. Inspect the cable couplings for wear and damage. Confirm that coupling plunger pins move freely and fully extend for positive retention. If needed, lubricate with a light oil. Make sure the cable is fully retracted with no more than 6" (150mm) of cable outside of the machine. This will prevent whipping of the cable at start up.

6. Inspect the tools for wear and damage. If necessary,

replace prior to using the machine. Dull or damaged cutting tools can lead to binding, cable breakage, and slow the drain cleaning process.

7. Inspect and maintain any other equipment being

used per its instructions to make sure it is functioning properly.

8. Make sure that the main ON/OFF switch is set to the

9. Following the Machine and Work Area Set-Up,

install a fully charged battery or power adapter into machine. If using the power adapter, confirm that the GFCI works correctly.

10. Following the Operating Instructions, check the ma-

chine for proper operation. No more than 6" (150 mm) of cable should be out of the machine.

• Turn the main ON/OFF switch to the ON position and move the FOR/OFF/REV switch into the FOR position. Press and release the foot switch and note the direction of rotation of the drum. Let drum come to complete stop. If the foot switch does not control the machine operation, do not use the machine until the foot switch has been repaired. The drum should rotate counter-clockwise when viewed from the front of the drum and will match the drum direction shown on the drum in Figure 19.

• Place the FOR/OFF/REV switch into the REV position and repeat above testing to confirm that the drain cleaning machine operates properly in reverse. If the rotation is not correct, do not use the machine until it has been repaired.

11. With the inspection complete, move the FOR/OFF/

REV switch into the OFF position and turn the main ON/OFF switch to the OFF position. With dry hands remove battery/power adapter from the machine. Machine and Work Area Set-Up WARNING Set up the K-4310 FXP Drum Machine and work area according to these procedures to reduce the risk of injury from electric shock, re, machine tipping, twisted or broken cables, chemical burns, infections and other causes, and prevent machine damage.

area along a clear path. Adjust handle if necessary (Figure 13). Move handle latches together and move telescoping handle to desired position. Confirm that the handle latches engage and the handle is securely held in position. If handle is moved past latch holes, the handle buttons will prevent the handle from pulling out. If this occurs, depress buttons to move handle. Figure 13 – Adjusting Telescoping Handle

8. Position the machine so it sits squarely and firmly. The

machine cable outlet must be within 3' (0.9 m) of the drain access. Greater distances from the drain access increases the risk of cable twisting or kinking. If the machine cannot be placed within proper distance of the drain access, extend the drain access with similar sized pipe and fittings (See Figure 14). Improper cable support can allow the cable to kink and twist and can damage the cable or injure the operator. Figure 14 – Example of Extending Drain to within 3' of the Machine Cable Outlet

9. Select proper cutting tool for the conditions.

If the nature of the obstruction is unknown, it is good practice to use a straight or bulb auger to explore the obstruction and retrieve a piece of the obstruction for inspection. Once the nature of the obstruction is known, an appropriate tool can be selected for the application. A good rule of thumb is to start by running the small- est available tool through the blockage to allow the water to start flowing and carry away the debris and cuttings as the drain is cleaned. Once the drain is open and flowing, other tools appropriate for the blockage can be used. Generally, the largest tool used should be no bigger than the inside diameter of the drain minus one inch. Proper tool selection depends on the specific circum- stances of each job and is left to the user’s judgment. A variety of other cable attachments are available and are listed in the “Optional Equipment” section of this manual. Other information on cable attachments can be found in the RIDGID Catalog and online at RIDGID.com.

10. Securely install cutting tool on the end of the cable

(See Figure 15). If the connection is not secure, the tool may fall off during use. As the tool is installed, make sure that the spring-loaded plunger in the coupling moves freely to retain the tool. If the pin sticks in the retracted position, the tool may fall off in use.

Figure 15 – Connecting/Disconnecting Cable/Tool

11. Evaluate the work area and determine if any barriers

are needed to keep bystanders away from the ma- chine and work area. The drain cleaning process can be messy and bystanders can distract the operator.

12. Position the foot switch for easy accessibility. You

must be able to hold and control the cable, control the foot switch, and reach the FOR/OFF/REV switch.

13. Confirm that the FOR/OFF/REV switch is in the OFF

position and that the main ON/OFF switch is OFF. Installing/Removing Battery or Power Adapter

14. With dry hands, insert a fully charged battery or

power adapter into the battery port on the machine. Do not plug power adapter in until inserted into the machine. The machine has a latch to secure the battery or power adapter. The latch will engage when the battery or power adapter is inserted. Confirm secure by lightly pulling on the battery and ensure that it does not separate from the tool. To remove the battery or power adapter, depress the latch and slide out of the machine. See Figure 16. Figure 16 – Battery Latch (Handle Removed for Clarity) Operating Instructions WARNING Always wear eye protection to reduce the risk of eye injury. Always wear RIDGID drain cleaning gloves in good condition. Latex or loose tting gloves or rags can become wrapped around the cable and may result in serious personal injury. Only wear latex or rubber gloves under drain cleaning gloves. Do not use damaged drain cleaning gloves. Always use appropriate personal protective equip- ment while handling and using drain cleaning equipment. Drains may contain chemicals, bacteria and other substances that may be toxic, infectious, cause burns or other issues. Appropriate person- al protective equipment always include safety glasses and drain cleaning gloves, and may include equipment such as latex or rubber gloves, face shields, goggles, protective clothing, respirators and steel toed footwear. Do not allow the cutter to stop turning while the machine is running. This can overstress the cable and may cause twisting, kinking or breaking of the cable. Twisting, kinking or breaking cable may cause striking or crushing injuries. Keep glove covered hand on the cable whenever K-4310 FXP Drum Machine Battery Latch Battery Connecting Keep couplings clean and lubricated. Plunger pin must move freely and fully extend to secure connection. Disconnecting - Using Pin Key

1. Slide the couplings together.

2. Confirm connection is secure. (Plunger pin fully extended.)

Figure 17 – Proper Operating Position

3. Move the ON/OFF switch to the ON position. Move

the FOR/OFF/REV switch to the FOR (FORWARD) position. Do not depress the foot switch yet. “FOR” and “REV” refers to the drum/cable rotation and not to the direction of cable movement. Do not rotate the cable in REV (reverse) except as specifically described in these instructions. Running the machine in REV can damage the cable. Figure 18 – Cable Movement in FOR (Forward Rotation) NOTE: If Machine is set for REV (Reverse Rotation) AUTO- FEED advance and retrieve direction are opposite. the machine is running. This provides better control of the cable and helps prevent twisting, kinking and breaking of the cable. Twisting, kinking or breaking cable may cause striking or crushing injuries. Position machine cable outlet within 3' (0.9 m) of the drain inlet or properly support exposed cable when the distance exceeds 3' (0.9 m). Greater dis- tances can cause control problems leading to twisting, kinking or breaking of the cable. Twisting, kinking or breaking cable may cause striking or crushing injuries. One person must control both the foot switch and cable. If the cutter stops rotating, the operator must be able to release the foot switch to pre- vent twisting, kinking and breaking of the cable. Twisting, kinking or breaking cable may cause striking or crushing injuries. Follow operating instructions to reduce the risk of injury from twisted or broken cables, cable ends whipping around, machine tipping, chemical burns, infections and other causes.

1. Make sure that machine and work area is properly

set-up and that the work area is free of bystanders and other distractions.

2. Pull cable out of drum and feed into drain. If needed,

loosen AUTOFEED knob. Push cable as far into drain as it will go. At least one foot (.3 m) of cable must be in drain so that the end of the cable will not come out of the drain and whip around when the machine is started. Directly route the cable from the outlet of machine to the drain opening, minimizing exposed cable and changes in direction. Do not tightly bend the cable – this can increase the risk of twisting or breaking. Assume a proper operating position to help maintain control of the cable and machine (see Figure 17):

• Be sure you can control the ON/OFF action of the foot switch and can quickly release the foot switch if needed. Do not press foot switch yet.

• You must be able to place at least one RIDGID drain cleaning glove covered hand on the cable to always control and support the cable.

• Be sure that you have good balance, do not have to overreach, and cannot fall on the foot switch, machine, the drain or other hazards.

• You must be able to reach the main ON/OFF switch and FOR/OFF/REV switch. This operating position will help to maintain control of the cable and machine.

Figure 19 – AUTOFEED Lever Positions (Cable Turning In FOR Direction) NOTE: Rate of cable advance or retrieve varies by handle movement from neutral. K-4310 FXP Drum Machine Operation When using the K-4310 FXP Drum Machine, cable can be fed either manually or using the AUTOFEED unit. Generally, you can switch back and forth between oper- ating methods as needed. Advancing The Cable Into The Drain Manual Operation Confirm that at least one foot (0.3 m) of cable is in the drain. Grasp the exposed cable with both gloved hands equally spaced (Figure 20A) and pull 6"-12" of cable out of the drum (Figure 20B) so that there is a slight bow in the cable. Gloved hands must be on cable to control and support the cable. Improper cable support can allow the cable to kink or twist and can damage cable or injure the operator. Make sure that the cable outlet of drain cleaning machine is within 3' (0.9 m) of the drain opening. Depress the foot switch to start the machine rotating in the FOR direction. The person controlling the cable must also control the foot switch. Do not operate the drain cleaning machine with one person controlling the cable and another person controlling the foot switch. This can lead to twisting, kinking and breaking of the cable. Advance the rotating cable into the drain. The rotating cable will work its way into the drain as you push on the cable with gloved hands (Figure 20C). Do not allow the cable to build up outside the drain, bow or curve. This can allow the cable to twist, kink or break. When the cable has been fed into the drain opening, pull 6"-12" more cable from the drum and continue feeding the rotating cable into the drain. Figure 20A,B,C – Manual Feed Operation K-4310 FXP Drum Machine

Passing Through Traps Or Other Transitions If it is difficult to get the cable through a trap or other fit- ting, the following methods or combinations of methods can be used.

• Sharp thrusts of the cable, both with and without the cable rotating, can help the cable through a trap.

• In some cases, with the switch in the OFF position, rotating the drum by hand can change the orientation of the cutter to allow it to negotiate the fitting more easily.

• Run the machine in REV (REVERSE) rotation for several seconds while pushing on the cable. Only do this long enough to get the cable started through the trap. Running the cable in reverse can damage the cable.

• Use a flexible leader between the tool and the cable. If these options don’t work, consider using a smaller di- ameter or more flexible cable, or a different RIDGID drain cleaning machine. Cleaning The Drain As you advance the cable into the drain, you may see the cable slow down or build up outside the drain. Always keep your hands on the cable. You may feel the cable start to wind or load up (this may feel like the cable is starting to twist or squirm, see Figure 22.) This may be a transition in the drain (trap, elbow, etc.), build up in the drain (grease, etc.) or the actual blockage. Advance the cable slowly and carefully. Do not let cable build up outside the drain. This can cause the cable to twist, kink or break. Figure 22 – Cable Shape When Unloaded, Loaded Pay attention to the amount of cable that has been fed into the drain. Feeding cable into a larger drain, septic tank or similar transition may cause the cable to kink or knot and prevent removal from the drain. Minimize the AUTOFEED Cable Feed Operation Confirm that the AUTOFEED unit is set up for the correct cable size, see “Adjusting AUTOFEED Unit For Cable Diameter” section. With at least one foot (.3 m) of cable is in the drain. Tight- en the AUTOFEED knob (Figure 18) so that the roller touches the cable plus one additional turn. Do not over- tighten the knob – this can cause premature failure of the AUTOFEED unit or cable. Grasp near the center of the exposed length of cable with a gloved hand (Figure 21). Gloved hand must be on the cable to control and support the cable. Improper cable support can allow the cable to kink or twist and can damage the cable or injure the operator. Make sure that the cable outlet of the drain cleaning machine is within 3' (0.9 m) of the drain opening. Place the other hand on the AUTOFEED lever. The lever should be in neutral (Vertical) position (see Figure 19). See “Using Machine With A Front Guide Hose” if using a guide hose. Depress the foot switch to start the machine rotating in the FOR direction. The person controlling the cable must also control the foot switch. Do not operate the machine with one person controlling the cable and another per- son controlling the foot switch. This can lead to twisting, kinking and breaking of the cable. With the cable rotating, move the AUTOFEED control lever in the opposite direc- tion that the cable rotates (See Figure 19). This will cause the cable to advance out of the machine. The further the control lever from the neutral position, the faster the cable will advance. The rotating cable will work into the drain as you control the cable with your gloved hand. Do not allow the cable to build up outside the drain, bow or curve. This can allow the cable to twist, kink or break. Figure 21 – Operating using the AUTOFEED Unit

amount of cable fed into the transition to prevent prob- lems. If an additional length of cable is needed, see the section “Adding Additional Cable”. Working The Blockage If the end of the cable stops turning, it is no longer clean- ing the drain. If the end of the cable becomes lodged in the blockage and power is maintained to the machine, the cable will start to wind up (this may feel like the cable is starting to twist or squirm). Having a hand on the cable allows you to feel this wind up and control the cable. If the cable end stops turning or if the cable starts to wind up, immediately pull the cable back from the obstruction:

• Manual Operation – pull back on the cable to free the cable end from the blockage.

• AUTOFEED Unit Operation – move the AUTOFEED lever to retrieve direction to free the cable end of the blockage. Do not keep the cable rotating if the cable is stuck in a blockage. If the cable end stops turning and the drum keeps rotating, the cable can twist, kink or break. Once the cable end is free of the blockage and turning again, you can slowly feed the cable end back into the blockage. Do not try to force the cable end through the blockage. Let the spinning end “dwell” in the blockage to completely break it up. Work the tool in this manner until you have moved completely past the blockage (or blockages) and the drain is flowing. Manual operation is usually the best choice if the cable repeatedly gets stuck when using the AUTOFEED unit. If using an AUTOFEED unit machine manually, the AUTOFEED knob may need to be loosened, and the AUTOFEED lever placed in the neutral position. While working the blockage, the cable and tool may become clogged with debris and cuttings from the block- age. This can prevent further progress. The cable and tool need to be retrieved from the drain and the debris removed. See section on “Retrieving the Cable”. Handling A Stuck Tool If the tool stops turning and the cable cannot be pulled back from the blockage, immediately release the foot switch while firmly holding the cable. Do not remove hands from cable or cable may kink, twist and break. The motor will stop and the cable and drum may turn backwards until the energy stored in the cable is relieved. Do not remove hands from cable until the tension is released. Place FOR/OFF/REV switch in OFF position. Do not move the main ON/OFF switch to OFF position if recording, this will cause a data interruption and may not allow chart generation. Freeing A Stuck Tool If the tool is stuck in the blockage, with the FOR/OFF/ REV switch in the OFF position and the foot switch re- leased, try pulling the cable loose from the blockage. If the tool will not come free from the blockage, place the FOR/OFF/REV switch in REV position. Grasp the cable with both gloved hands, press the foot switch for several seconds and pull on the cable until it is free of the block- age. Do not operate the machine in the REV position any longer than required to free (unscrew) the cutting tool from the blockage or cable damage can occur. Place the FOR/OFF/REV switch in the FOR position and continue cleaning the drain. Retrieving The Cable Once the drain is open, start a flow of water down the drain to flush the debris out of the line. This can be done by running a hose down the drain opening, turning on a faucet in the system or other methods. Pay attention to the water level, as the drain could plug again. With water flowing through the drain, retrieve the cable from the line. The flow of water will help to clean the cable as it is retrieved. The FOR/OFF/REV switch should be in the FOR position – do not retrieve the cable with the switch in the REV position, this can damage the cable. As with feeding the cable into the drain, cables can be caught while being retrieved.

• Manual Operation – With both gloved hands equally spaced on the exposed cable for control, pull 6”-12” lengths of cable from the drain at a time and feed it into the drum.

• AUTOFEED Unit Operation – With one hand near the center of the exposed length of cable, move the AUTOFEED lever to the retrieve position. The rotating cable will work its way out of the drain and back into the drum. Continue retrieving cable until the cable end is just inside the drain opening. Release the foot switch and allow the machine to come to a complete stop. Do not pull the end of the cable from the drain while the cable is rotating. The cable can whip around and cause serious injury. Pay at- tention to the cable during retrieval as the cable end can still become stuck. Place the FOR/OFF/REV switch in the OFF position. Pull the remaining cable from the drain with gloved hands and feed back into the machine. Place the main ON/OFF switch in the OFF position. K-4310 FXP Drum Machine999-995-420.10_REV C

If needed, change the tool and continue cleaning follow- ing the above process. Several passes through a line are recommended for complete cleaning. RIDGID Link App Connection (Wireless Communication) The RIDGID

K-4310 FXP Drum Machine includes wire- less technology allowing communication to properly equipped smartphones or tablets (“devices”) running iOS or Android operating systems. This allows the user to create shareable job insights and access tool history data.

Link app to your device by going to RIDGID.com/apps, the Google Play Store or the Apple App Store.

2. When the machine is powered and the ON/OFF

switch is ON, the light will blink blue when con- nection to a device is possible. See Figure 5.

3. Find the RIDGID Link app icon on your device and

launch the app by selecting the icon. Via the app, search for nearby tools and select the desired RIDGID tool. Refer to your device instructions for specific information on how to connect via wireless technology. Once connected, the light will be lit blue. After the initial pairing, most devices will automatically connect to the machine when the wireless technology is active and in range and if device settings are configured to do so. Machine should be less than 33 ft. (10 m) from the device to be detected. Any obstacle between the machine and device can reduce the operational range.

4. Follow the app instructions for use. Do not let the

use of the app distract you from monitoring the drain cleaning process. Inattention to the process can cause you to lose control.

5. The wireless communication turns off when the main

ON/OFF switch is turned to OFF or power removed. Turn wireless communication OFF on the device to reduce device battery drain. Other Operating Instructions Using Machine With A Front Guide Hose The front guide hose is an optional accessory to help protect fixtures and contain the liquid and debris on the cable. It can only be used with an AUTOFEED unit. Using the front guide hose can decrease feedback from the cable, making it harder to tell what conditions the cable is encountering. This may increase the possibility of damage to the cable. Using the front guide hose makes it more difficult to switch back and forth between manual and AUTOFEED unit operation. Using a machine with the front guide hose is similar to using a machine with just the AUTOFEED unit. Follow in- structions for AUTOFEED unit operation with the following exceptions:

• When setting up the machine, insert the guide hose at least 6" into the drain.

• Instead of holding the cable, hold the guide hose. See Figure 23. Always control the guide hose and properly support the cable to prevent the cable from twisting, kinking or breaking. Figure 23 – Using Machine with Guide Hose When using a front guide hose, pay attention how the guide hose feels in your hand and watch the drum rota- tion. Because the guide hose is over the cable, there is less sensitivity to the loading of the cable, and it is harder to tell if the tool is rotating or not. If the tool is not rotating, the drain is not being cleaned. If the tool continues to get hung up in the blockage, stop using the AUTOFEED unit (leave the AUTOFEED lever in the neutral position) and work the cable manually. To do this, the cable must be retrieved from the drain and the guide hose removed to allow proper positioning of the ma- chine to the drain and access to the cable. Do not try to work the cable by hand with the front guide hose in place. When retrieving the cable, be sure to stop the cable before the tool hits the end of the guide hose to prevent damage. Adding Additional Cable If more cable is necessary than in the machine drum, use the following procedure to add additional cable. Do not exceed the drain cleaner ratings.K-4310 FXP Drum Machine

Note the cable travel values before adding additional cable. Cable parameters will be lost during adding addi- tional cable. The cable parameters need to be filled again and the cable travel reset after adding additional cable. The final cable travel will be previous cable travel plus the additional cable travel.

1. Note the cable travel values.

2. Make sure that the main ON/OFF switch is in the OFF

position and the battery/power adapter removed.

3. Pull the cable connection from the drum. If using

AUTOFEED unit, the AUTOFEED knob may need to be loosened.

4. Disconnect the cable from pigtail and secure the cable

so it cannot slip down the drain.

5. If loading another cable in the existing drum, see

“Installing Cable” section. If using a second drum of cable, see “Changing Drums”.

6. Attach the end of the cable in the drain to the cable in

the drum. Feed any excess cable back into the drum.

7. With the machine powered on, properly setup the

cable values and reset the cable travel value to zero. See “Setting Cable Information” section. The cable travel value will be previous cable travel plus the additional cable travel shown on the control panel.

8. Resume cleaning the drain. Make sure that the cable

is rotating and up to speed before feeding cable in. Changing Drums Note the cable travel values before changing drum. Cable parameters will be lost while changing drum. The cable parameters need to be filled again and the cable travel reset after changing drum. The final cable travel will be previous cable travel plus the additional cable travel.

1. Note the cable travel values.

2. Make sure that the main ON/OFF switch is in the OFF

position and the battery/power adapter removed.

3. Remove the AUTOFEED unit from the machine,

leaving the drum retainer open.

4. Securely grasp the drum and slide it approximately 1"

(25 mm) away from the gearbox (Figure 24).

5. Carefully lift the drum out of the machine. Be aware

that depending on the cable in the drum, it could weigh up to 155 lbs. (70 kg).

6. Reverse process to install drum. Align shaft on back

of drum with gearbox and slide the drum toward the gearbox (Figure 24). With hands clear of pinch points, tip the machine back on the wheels and rotate drum slowly to allow drum to fully seat. Securely close drum retainer. If cable size is being changed, AUTOFEED unit may need to be adjusted. Figure 24 – Changing Drum (Drum Retainer Open, Sliding Back)

7. With the machine powered on, properly setup the

cable values and reset the cable travel value to zero. See “Setting Cable Information” section. The cable travel value will be previous cable travel plus the additional cable travel shown on the control panel. Draining The Machine If the machine needs to be drained, turn machine OFF and remove power from machine. Remove the battery/ power adapter. Remove the screw plug located in the rear of the drum (Figure 25) and rotate/tip the drum to allow it to drain. Be sure to replace the drain plug.

Transportation And Storage Transportation Feed all of the cable into the drum. Remove any cutter or tool from the cable. Make sure that no more than 6" cable is outside the drum. Tighten the AUTOFEED knob onto the cable. Wrap the foot switch hose around foot switch hose wrap. See Figure 27. Before moving the machine, make sure that the tele- scoping handle is secured into the extended position for transport. If the machine needs to be lifted, use proper lifting techniques. Use care moving equipment on stairs and be aware of possible slip hazards. Manual Loading With the telescoping handle locked into the extended position, place machine with wheels toward the vehicle. Lean the machine back and rest the loading wheels on the vehicle bed. Use loading handles to lift the machine and slide it onto the vehicle (Figure 26). Use care not to damage foot switch hose. Be aware of the machine weight. Use proper lifting techniques – more than one person may be required. Loading with Crane/Winch If lifting with a crane/winch, entire machine weight can be carried with handle. Lock the telescoping handle into lowest position for lifting. Depending on which drum is being used the angle in which the machine rests may vary (Figure 27). Figure 26 – Loading on a Vehicle Figure 27 – Loading with Crane/Winch Storage The K-4310 FXP Drum Machine must be kept dry and indoors or well covered if kept outdoors. Store the machine in a locked area that is out of reach of children and people unfamiliar with drain cleaning machines. This machine can cause serious injury in the hands of untrained users.

Front Cable Travel Sensor Rear Cable Travel Sensor Figure 28 – Cleaning the Cable Travel Sensors Lubrication Lubricate machine with general purpose grease at grease fitting located at connection of guide tube and drum (Figure 7), back side of the drum (Figure 24) and on AUTOFEED Unit (Figure 9). Lubricate anytime the drum is changed or removed, anytime grease may have been removed by cleaning, and at minimum, every 20 Hours of runtime. Changing Cable

1. Pull all the cable out from the drum.

2. Disconnect the cable end from pigtail. See Figure 15.

3. Install the new cable per Installing Cable section.

In certain abnormal circumstances (such as worn or dam- aged cable, keeping the drum rotating while the cable end is stuck in an obstruction. etc.) the cable may flip over in the machine drum. This is typically accompanied by a loud noise and may prevent the cable from moving in and out of the drum. Looking into the drum, the cable will be tangled and disorganized, instead of neatly coiled. The cable may be permanently damaged. Use caution when removing the flipped cable from the drum. The cable may be under load and could move unexpectedly, springing out of the drum or wrapping and flipping further, which increases the risk of injury. It may be necessary to disassemble the drain cleaner to remove the cable ( see pigtail replacement section for details) In some cases the cable may need to be cut with bolt cutters to remove it from the drum. Pigtail Replacement

1. Remove all cable from the drum except the pigtail.

2. Remove the AUTOFEED unit assembly from the

machine. Remove the drum.

3. Remove sensor pickup set screw, then bearing retain-
