TABLE DES MATIÈRES

************************

Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire 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 flammable 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 adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce 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.
■ Use this product only with batteries and chargers listed in tool/appliance/battery pack/charger correlation supplement 987000-432.

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 influence 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 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 finger on the switch or energising 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 jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
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.
■ Do not use on a ladder or unstable support. Stable footing on a solid surface enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

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.

GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

■ Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack 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. 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.

BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE

■ Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.
■ Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
- 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.
■ Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.

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.
■ When servicing a power tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow instructions in the Maintenance section of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow Maintenance instructions may create a risk of shock or injury.

DRAIN AUGER SAFETY WARNINGS

■ Always wear safety goggles or eye protection with side shields marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1 when assembling parts, operating the tool, or performing maintenance. Following this rule will reduce the risk of serious personal injury.
■ Position the the drain auger within four inches of the drain or inlet being cleared. Operating the tool at greater distances can result in the cable twisting or binding.
■ Avoid running the tool in reverse for extended periods of time as this can damage the cable.
■ Never place your hand near the drum or the cable as it is rotating. Following this rule will reduce the risk of serious personal injury.
■ Clogged drains may contain bacteria, cleaning solutions, or other potentially harmful substances. Always wear protective clothing, eye protection, and gloves while operating this tool to prevent these substances from contacting your skin and eyes.

• When removing the cable from a drain, remove it slowly to avoid "splash back". Use warm, soapy water to clean hands and other body parts that may have been exposed to potentially harmful substances.
  ■ Battery tools do not have to be plugged into an electrical outlet; therefore, they are always in operating condition. Be aware of possible hazards when not using your battery tool or when changing accessories. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or serious personal injury.
• Do not place battery tools or their batteries near fire or heat. This will reduce the risk of explosion and possibly injury.
  ■ Do not crush, drop or damage battery pack. Do not use a battery pack or charger that has been dropped or received a sharp blow. A damaged battery is subject to explosion. Properly dispose of a dropped or damaged battery immediately.

DRAIN AUGER SAFETY WARNINGS

■ Batteries can explode in the presence of a source of ignition, such as a pilot light. To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, never use any cordless product in the presence of open flame. An exploded battery can propel debris and chemicals. If exposed, flush with water immediately.
- Do not charge battery tool in a damp or wet location. Do not use, store, or charge battery packs or products in locations where the temperature is less than 50°F or more than 100°F. Do not store outside or in vehicles.

■ Under extreme usage or temperature conditions, battery leakage may occur. If liquid comes in contact with your skin, wash immediately with soap and water. If liquid gets into your eyes, flush them with clean water for at least 10 minutes, then seek immediate medical attention. Following this rule will reduce the risk of serious personal injury.
■ Save these instructions. Refer to them frequently and use them to instruct others who may use this tool. If you loan someone this tool, loan them these instructions also.

USING THE DRAIN AUGER

See Figures 6 and 7, page 10.

The drain auger can be used to clear obstructions from a variety of drains including sink, bathtub, and toilet drains. NOTE: This product can be used to clear drain pipes with minimum diameters of 0.75 in. and maximum diameters of 2 in.

To clear obstructions:

■ Remove the cap from the end of the cable.
■ When removing an obstruction from a sink or a bathtub, it may be necessary to remove the stopper or overflow cover to gain access to the drain pipe. Toilet drains can be accessed directly through the base of the bowl.
- Hold the drain auger within four inches of the drain or overflow, and manually feed the cable into the drain pipe.
NOTE: Advance the cable slowly at first. Advancing it too rapidly can result in twisting or binding.

■ After feeding about six inches of cable into the drain, you may begin advancing the cable using the switch trigger or continue advancing it manually.

OPERATION

■ The cable should advance freely through the drain pipe until it contacts the obstruction or is caught in a P-trap.
If the cable is caught in a P-trap, additional force or increased trigger pressure should be enough to advance it past the bend in the pipe.
■ If the cable has contacted an obstruction, there are two ways to remove it:

• Advance the cable by squeezing the switch trigger. Hold the trigger for several seconds allowing the tip of the cable to bore into the obstruction. If the cable stops rotating, release the switch trigger to avoid kinking or damaging the cable. Clamp the cable in place, then push or pull until the obstruction is dislodged. Unclamp the cable and slowly retract it from the drain pipe.
• Release the pommel and, if neccessary, disengage the auto-feed lock. Squeeze the switch trigger. The cable will rotate, but it will not advance. Hold the trigger for several seconds allowing the obstruction to wrap around the cable. If the cable stops rotating, release the switch trigger to avoid kinking or damaging the cable. Then slowly retract the cable and pull the obstruction through the drain.

NOTE: When removing the cable from a drain, remove it slowly to avoid "splash back".

■ Once the obstruction is cleared, attempt to flush your toilet or run water through your drain to confirm that the water is flowing freely.
■ After the cable has been properly cleaned, as described in the next section, place the cap on the end of the cable.

CLEANING THE DRAIN AUGER

See Figures 8 and 9, page 10.

The drain auger should be cleaned after each use to prevent contamination and residue build up.

To drain the drum:

■ Remove the battery pack from the tool.
- Hold the tool at an angle and lift the drain tab located on the back of the tool.
- Allow any liquids inside the drum to pour down a drain or into a container approved for liquid waste.

To clean the cable:

■ Remove the battery pack from the tool.
■ Using a clean cloth and warm soapy water, pull the cable out from the tool, cleaning it as it advances. Continue until the cable has been fully advanced and completely cleaned.
■ Using a clean, dry cloth, pull the cable back into the tool, drying it as it retracts. Continue until the cable has been fully retracted.
■ To ensure that no water entered the tool, drain the drum as described earlier.
■ Place the cap on the end of the cable.

NOTICE:

Do not advance or retract the cable using the switch trigger unless the cable is in a drain pipe.
