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.  Carefully position the power cord during use. A power cord in your walking path can be a tripping hazard.  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.  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.
