General Safety Information

WARNING! Read and understand all instructions. Failure

to follow all instructions listed below may

result in electric shock, fire, and/or serious

personal injury.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!

Work Area Safety

• Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered

benches and dark areas invite accidents.

• Do not operate power tools in explosive atmo-

spheres, such as in the presence of flammable

li quids, gases, or dust. Tools create sparks which

may ignite the dust or fumes.

• Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while

operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to

lose control.

Electrical Safety

• Grounded tools must be plugged into an outlet,

properly installed and grounded in accordance with

all codes and ordinances. Never remove the ground-

ing prong or modify the plug in any way. Do not use

any adapter plugs. Check with a qualified electrician

if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is prop-

erly grounded. If the tool should electrically malfunction

or break down, grounding provides a low resistance

path to carry electricity away from the user.

• Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such

as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There

is an increased risk of electrical shock if your body is

grounded.

• Don’t expose electrical tools to rain or wet condi-

tions. Water entering a tool will increase the risk of

electrical shock.

• Do not abuse cord. Never use the cord to carry the

tools or pull the plug from an outlet. Keep cord

away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.

Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged

cords increase the risk of electrical shock.

• When operating a tool outside, use an outdoor

extension cord marked “W-A” or “W”. These cords

are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of elec-

trical shock.

• Use only three-wire extension cords which have

three-prong grounding plugs and three-pole re-

ceptacles which accept the tool’s plug. Use of other

extension cords will not ground the tool and increase the

risk of electrical shock.

• Use proper extension cords. (See chart.) Insufficient

conductor size will cause excessive voltage drop, loss

of power.

• Before using, test the Ground Fault Circuit

Interrupter (GFCI) provided with the power cord to

insure it is operating correctly. GFCI reduces the risk

of electrical shock.

• Extension cords are not recommended unless they

are plugged into a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter

(GFCI) found in circuit boxes or outlet receptacles.

The GFCI on the machine power cord will not prevent

electrical shock from the extension cords.

• Keep all electric connections dry and off the

ground. Do not touch plugs or tool with wet hands.

Reduces the risk of electrical shock.

Personal Safety

• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use com-

mon sense when operating a power tool. Do not

use tool while tired or under the influence of drugs,

alcohol, or medications. A moment of inattention

while operating power tools may result in serious per-

sonal injury.

• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jew-

elry. Contain long hair. Keep your hair, clothing, and

gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jew-

elry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

• Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is OFF be-

fore plugging in. Carrying tools with your finger on the

switch or plugging tools in that have the switch ON in-

vites accidents.

• Remove adjusting keys or switches before turning

the tool ON. A wrench or a key that is left attached to

a rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury.

• Do not over-reach. Keep proper footing and bal-

ance at all times. Proper footing and balance enables

better control of the tool in unexpected situations.

• Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection.

Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hear-

ing protection must be used for appropriate conditions.

Tool Use and Care

• Use clamp or other practical way to secure and

support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding

the work by hand or against your body is unstable

and may lead to loss of control.

• Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your

application. The correct tool will do the job better and

safer at the rate for which it is designed.

• Do not use tool if switch does not turn it ON or

OFF. Any tool that cannot be controlled with the switch

is dangerous and must be repaired.

• Disconnect the plug from the power source be-

fore making any adjustments, changing

accessories, or storing the tool. Such preventive

safety measures reduce risk of starting tool accidentally.

• Store idle tools out of the reach of children and

other untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in

the hands of untrained users.

• Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp

and clean. Properly maintained tools with sharp cutting

edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

• Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts,

breakage of parts, and any other condition that

may affect the tool’s operation. If damaged, have

the tool serviced before using. Many accidents are

caused by poorly maintained tools.

• Use only accessories that are recommended by the

manufacturer for your model. Accessories that may

be suitable for one tool may become hazardous when

used on another tool.

• Keep handles dry and clean; free from oil and

grease. Allows for better control of the tool.

Service

• Tool service must be performed only by qualified re-

pair personnel. Service or maintenance performed

by unqualified repair personnel could result in injury.

• When servicing a tool, use only identical replace-

ment 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 electrical shock or injury.

Drain Cleaner Safety

• Wear gloves provided with the machine. Never

grasp a rotating cable with a rag or loose fitting

cloth glove. Could become wrapped around the cable

and cause serious injury.

• Do not overstress cables. Keep hand on the cable

for control when machine is running. Overstressing

cables may cause twisting, kinking and result in se-

rious injury.

• Position machine within three feet of inlet. Use

Front Guide Hose or properly support exposed

cable when it is difficult to locate the machine

near the access or clean out. Greater distances can

result in cable twisting, kinking or control problems.

• The K-6200 is designed for one person operation.

Operator must control foot switch and cable.

• Use foot switch to operate K-6200 while maintain-

ing good footing and balance. Do not operate

machine in (REV) reverse. Operating machine in re-

verse can result in cable damage and is used only to

briefly back tool out of an obstruction.

• Keep hands away from rotating drum and guide

tube. Do not reach into drum unless machine is un-

plugged. Hand may be caught in the moving parts

resulting in serious injury.

• Use kickstand during operation. The kickstand sta-

bilizes machine to prevent tipping.

• Be careful when using the K-6200 in drains where

cleaning compounds or chemicals have been used.

Serious burns can result from some drain cleaning

compounds.

• Do not operate machine if operator or machine is

standing in water. Will increase the risk of electrical

shock.

• Wear safety glasses and rubber soled, non-slip

shoes. Use of this safety equipment may prevent se-

rious injury.

Description, Specifications and

Standard Equipment

Description

The RIDGID

K-6200 Drain Cleaning Machine will clean

drain lines 3″ to 6″ in diameter and up to 200 feet in

length. The 4/10 HP universal motor spins

″ cable at

285 RPM. When the cable hits the blockage, the motor

gears down automatically to deliver greater power and

enhance operator control.

The molded polyethylene drum includes an inner drum

that guards against cable flip-over. An integral Ground

Fault Interrupter (GFCI) is built into the line cord and a

“kickstand” base is provided for machine stability during

operation. A pneumatic foot actuator provides ON/OFF

control of the motor.

The drum powers a

″ inner core cable that has a quick

change coupling system for connecting or disconnecting

tools. The cable is fed in and out of the drain by a AUTO -

FEED assembly at a rate of 0-28 feet/min. An integral

torque limiter will cause the drum to stop rotating whenever

excessive torque is created when the cutting tool at-

tached to the cable hits a snag and stops rotating.

The K-6200 can also be adapted to utilize the K-3800

drum with a 1/2″ cable to clean drain lines 2″ to 4″ in di-

ameter and up to 90′ in length.

Machine Inspection

WARNING

To prevent serious injury, inspect your Drain Clean -

ing Machine. The following inspection procedures

should be performed before each use.

1. Make sure the Drain Cleaning Machine is unplugged

and the directional switch is set to the OFF position.

2. Make sure the foot switch is present and attached to

the Drain Cleaning Machine (Figure 5). Do not oper-

ate the machine without a foot switch.

3. Inspect the power cord, Ground Fault Circuit Inter -

rupter (GFCI) and plug for damage. If the plug has

been modified, is missing the grounding prong or if the

cord is damaged, do not use the Drain Cleaning

Machine until the cord has been replaced.

4. Inspect the Drain Cleaning Machine for any broken,

missing, misaligned or binding parts as well as any

other conditions which may affect the safe and normal

operation of the machine. If any of these conditions

are present, do not use the Drain Cleaning Machine

until any problem has been repaired.

5. Lubricate the Drain Cleaning Machine, when nec-

essary, according to the Maintenance Instructions.

6. Use tools and accessories that are designed for your

drain cleaner and meet the needs of your application.

The correct tools and accessories allow you to do the

job successfully and safely. Accessories suitable for

use with other equipment may be hazardous when

used with this drain cleaner.

7. Clean any oil, grease or dirt from all equipment han-

dles and controls. This reduces the risk of injury due

to a tool or control slipping from your grip.

-6200 Drain Cleaning machine

Figure 5 – K-6200 Drain Cleaner

8. Inspect the cutting edges of your tools. If necessary,

have them sharpened or replaced prior to using the

Drain Cleaning Machine. Dull or damaged cutting

tools can lead to binding and cable breakage.

9. Inspect cables and couplings for wear and damage.

Cables should be replaced when they become se -

verely worn or corroded. A worn cable can be identified

when the outside coils become flat.

Worn or damaged cables can break caus-

ing serious injury.

Machine and Work Area Set-Up

WARNING

To prevent serious injury, proper set-up of the

machine and work area is required. The following

procedures should be followed to set-up machine:

1. Check work area for:

• Adequate lighting.

• Grounded electrical outlet.

WARNING

K-6200 Drain Cleaning Machine

• Clear path to the electrical outlet that does not

contain any sources of heat or oil, sharp edges or

moving parts that may damage electrical cord.

• Dry place for machine and operator. Do not use the

machine while standing in water.

• Flammable liquids, vapors or dust that may ignite.

2. Position the Drain Cleaning Machine within 3′ of

sewer inlet.

If sewer inlet greater than 3′ from the

front of the machine, the cable will have a greater tendency

to twist or kink. Use a front guide hose or properly support

exposed cable.

3. Set the spring loaded kickstand bar by tilting the ma-

chine forward to allow the bar to pivot behind the

tires (Figure 6). Make sure the machine rests firmly on

the bar before continuing. The tires should not contact

the ground.

Figure 6 – Setting Kickstand Bar

Figure 7 – Releasing Kickstand Bar

WARNING

To prevent tipping during use, machine should rest firmly

on the kickstand.

4. Position the air foot switch pedal for easy operator ac-

cessibility. Machine is designed for one person

operation. (Figure 8)

5. Make sure FOR/OFF/REV switch is in the OFF po-

sition.

6. Select and install the proper tool/cutter to the end of

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

(See Figure 3). If the connection is not secure, the cut-

ting tool may fall off in use.

7. Plug the Drain Cleaning Machine into the electrical

outlet, making sure to position the power cord along

the clear path selected earlier. If the power cord

does not reach the outlet, use an extension cord in

good condition.

To avoid electric shock and electrical fires,

never use an extension cord that is damaged or does not

meet the following requirements:

• The cord has a three-prong plug similar to shown in

Electrical Safety section.

• The cord is rated as “W” or “W-A” if being used out-

doors.

• The cord has sufficient wire thickness (16 AWG below

50′/14 AWG 50′-100′). If the wire thickness is too small,

the cord may overheat, melting the cord’s insulation or

causing nearby objects to ignite.

To reduce risk of electric shock, keep

all electrical connections dry and off the ground. Do not

touch plug with wet hands. Test the Ground Fault Circuit

Interrupter (GFCI) provided with the electric cord to insure

it is operating correctly. When test button is pushed in, the

indicator light should go OFF. Reactivate by pushing the

reset button in. If indicator light goes on, the machine is

ready to use. If the GFCI does not function correctly, do

not use the machine.

Operating Instructions

WARNING

Wear gloves provided with machine. Never grasp a

rotating cable with a rag or loose fitting cloth glove

that may become wrapped around the cable, caus-

ing serious injury.

WARNING

Always wear eye protection to protect your eyes

against dirt and other foreign objects. Wear rubber

soled, non-slip shoes.

Always assume the correct operating posture in order to

maintain proper balance (Figure 8). Should an unex-

pected situation arise, this posture provides you with the

opportunity to safely keep control of the machine and

cable.

• Be sure you can quickly remove your foot from the

foot switch.

• Hand must be on the cable to control its twisting action

when it hits an obstruction.

• Keep hands away from rotating drum and guide tube.

Do not reach into drum unless machine is unplugged.

1. Loosen the feed knob to ensure AUTOFEED is not

engaged. Manually pull a sufficient length of cable out

of the drum and manually push the tool and cable into

the sewer inlet.

Figure 8 – Proper Operating Position

2. Move FOR/OFF/REV switch into FOR (forward) po-

sition. Do not step on the air foot switch pedal at this

time.

3. To use AUTOFEED, turn feed knob down until top

bearing makes contact with the cable, then turn one

full additional turn. Do not over-tighten.

WARNING

Before starting machine, operator’s gloved hand

must be on the cable.

4. Exert sufficient downward pressure on cable to keep

it in sewer line while depressing air foot switch pedal

to start cable rotating.

5. Move the feed lever in the opposite direction of the ro-

tating drum to advance the cable (Figure 9). The

rate at which the cable is fed (0 – 28′ per minute) into

the sewer is controlled by the position of the feed

lever away from neutral (vertical) position. The further

from vertical, the faster the feed rate. Always keep one

hand on the cable to feel tension.

6. Continue to feed the cable into the line until resistance

or obstruction is encountered. This condition will gen-

erally become apparent to the operator as the motor

will “lug” down and/or the cable will have a tendency

to twist sideways in the operator’s hands.

If the cable shows signs that the cutter has stopped ro-

tating, fully reverse feed lever (move handle in the

same direction of the drum rotation) to back the cutter

away and to relieve the load. Gradually feed the

cable into the obstruction, allowing cutter to advance

slowly. Occasionally move AUTOFEED lever to neu-

tral to allow cutter to work through the obstruction. If

motor turns but the drum stops, the torque limiter is

slipping because of excessive force. Pull back on

cable to relieve torque and drum will begin to spin.

TIP: If cable continues to get hung up in blockage, dis-

continue use of the AUTOFEED and work cable by

hand.

Figure 9 – Feed Lever Operation

7. Once flow is established, use running water to wash

debris and roots down the drain while finishing the job.

WARNING

Do not allow tension to build up in the cable. This

will happen if the cutting tool hits a snag and stops

turning, but the motor and its drum continue to ro-

tate. Torque builds until the cable suddenly twists,

potentially wrapping around your hand or arm. This

K-6200 Drain Cleaning machine

from air foot switch pedal and allow machine to come to a

full and complete stop. Place FOR/OFF/REV switch to

REV (reverse) position. Loosen feed knob. Grasp cable

with gloved hands and pull while jogging air foot switch

pedal. When tool is dislodged and drum has stopped ro-

tating, place FOR/OFF/REV switch in FOR (forward)

position and follow normal operating procedure.

Never operate this machine in REV (re-

verse) for any other purpose. Operating in reverse can

damage a cable and cause serious injury.

Loading The Machine On Vehicle

Loading Wheel

Optional loading wheel swivels up and down. Raise

wheel for loading, lower wheel while transporting or op-

erating machine.

With loading wheel raised, tip machine backwards and

rest handle or loading wheel on truck bed. Lift up on front

of machine and slide onto truck.

Use proper lifting technique – lift with

your legs, not your back!!

NOTE! Take care not to damage electrical cord or air

foot switch hose.

Lifting Hook

Optional lifting hook can be used to raise and lower the

machine into a truck using a hoist. The Machine must be

raised by hooking through the hole in the lifting hook.

Lifting the machine by the handle or any

other part of the machine may result in the machine tipping

and/or the part failing. This could result in the machine

falling causing serious injury.

NOTE! Take care not to damage electrical cord or air foot

switch hose.

Draining the Drum

Water can be drained from the drum by removing the

screw plug located in the rear of the drum (Figure 10)

and resting the machine on its back as seen in Figure 11.

Be sure the screw drain plug is replaced before trans-

porting the machine.

can happen quickly and without warning, so proceed

slowly and carefully as you feed the cable into the

drain. If tool gets hung up in an obstruction, refer to

Reverse Operating Instructions in the Special

Procedures section.

8. Several passes through thoroughly blocked drain

lines are recommended. Start with a grease cutter or

2″ blade, or a blade typically 2″ smaller than the drain

size. After establishing drain flow, increase cutter

size to thoroughly clean the lines.

TIP: Know approximately where you are going. Over-

running cable into city sewers or septic tanks can

cause cable damage and retrieval problems.

NOTE! Additional cable may be added if required. Refer

to Special Applications Procedure section.

9. To retrieve the cable from the sewer line, move the

AUTOFEED handle in the same direction of the drum

rotation.

Do not put the machine in reverse.

The machine should be kept running during the retrieval

process for thorough cleaning.

NOTE! A continuous flush of water should be used to

clean the cable and tool as they are retrieved.

10. When the tool is just inside the sewer inlet, release the

air foot switch pedal and allow the machine to come to

a complete stop.

Never retract tool from sewer inlet while

cable is rotating. Tool can whip causing serious injury.

11. Turn FOR/OFF/REV Switch to OFF position and re-

move cord from power source.

12. Loosen the feed knob and pull the remaining cable

and tool from the sewer. Hand feed the cable into the

machine.

13. Disengage the spring loaded kickstand bar by tilting

the machine forward, forcing the bar forward of the

tires. (Figure 7)

Special Procedures

Main Sewer Or Septic Tank Overrun

It is very important to know the approximate distance from

inlet to main sewer or septic tank. Over-running cable too

far into main sewer or septic tank can allow cables to

knot-up and prevent their return through small lines.

Reverse Operation

Running machine in reverse will cause premature fail-

ure of cable. Use reverse only to free a tool caught in an

obstruction. If this should occur, immediately remove foot

CAUTION

WARNING

Figure 10 – Drum Drain Hole

Operating Machine In Reclined Position

The K-6200 can be operated in the reclined position to ac-

cess overhead waste lines. As shown in Figure 11, screw

the two (2) support legs into the frame. With the kickstand

bar in the forward position ahead of the wheels, place the

machine so it rests on the support legs and the wheels.

If sewer inlet is greater than 3′ from the

front off the machine, the cable will have a greater ten-

dency to twist or kink. Use a front guide tube or properly

support exposed cable.

7. Remove the pigtail from the guide tube and drum

and insert new pigtail into the drum.

8. Align hole in pigtail with the hole in the back of the

drum. Insert bolt, washers and nut and tighten se-

curely. Push the remainder of the pigtail into drum.

9. Push the end of the pigtail through guide tube. Install

inner drum and bearing by reversing Steps 4 and 5.

10. Place the drum assembly into the machine by fol-

lowing instructions in Step 2 of Drum Assembly In -

stallation section.

Proper Tool Selection

A good rule of thumb is to make the first pass with either

a grease cutter or blade cutter that is 2″ smaller than the

drain size. For additional passes, larger tools may be

used. However, tools should generally be at least 1″

smaller than the drain size. Use a full size blade on the

final pass.

The style of tool is determined by the nature of the job and

is left to the discretion of the operator.

Flexible leaders should be used to negotiate bends and

traps in lines.
