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

liquids, gases, or dust. Power 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 power tools to rain or wet conditions.

Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of elec-

trical 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 power tool outside, use an out-

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

cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of

electrical 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 Inter-

rupter (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 plug 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 plug from the power source before

making any adjustments, changing accessories, or

storing the tool. Such preventive safety measures re-

duce 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.

when the machine is running. Overstressing cables

may cause twisting or kinking and result in serious injury.

• Position machine close to drain. Minimizes risk of

cable twisting or kinking.

• Do not operate machine in (REV) reverse. Operating

machine in reverse can result in cable damage and is

used only to back tool out of an obstruction or re-

trieve the cable using the powerfeed.

• Do not place the machine in water. Water entering the

motor housing will increase the risk of electrical shock.

• Only use the K-40/K-40B to clean lines

to 2

″ in

diameter. Follow instructions on proper use of the

machine. Other uses or modifying this drain cleaner for

other applications may increase the risk of injury.

• Be careful when cleaning drains where cleaning

compounds have been used. Avoid direct contact

with skin and eyes. Serious burns can result from

some drain cleaning compounds.

Battery Charger Safety

• Charge only Makita

type Ni-MH and Ni-Cd recharge-

able batteries. Other types of batteries may burst

causing personal injury and damage.

8. Inspect cables and couplings for wear and damage.

Cables should be replaced when they become

severely worn or corroded. A worn cable can be iden-

tified when the outside coils become flat or having

several kinks throughout the cable.

Worn or damaged cables can break

causing serious injury.

Machine Set-Up

K-40 Drain Cleaner:

1. Check work area for:

• Adequate lighting

• Grounded electrical outlet

• 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 place

the machine in water.

• Flammable liquids, vapors or dust that may ignite.

2. Place the machine in the most convenient position, flat

on the working surface or upright on its back and

close to the drain opening.

3. Position the air foot switch pedal for easy operator

accessibility. Machine is designed for one person op-

eration. Air-operated foot switch has an extra long

rubber air cord which frees up the operator to hand-feed

the cable or operate the autofeed and guide hose.

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

sition.

5. 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 electrical 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.

K-40 Battery Charger

Battery Charging Procedure:

Before using the battery charger, read all

the instructions included with the battery and charger.

1. Locate the charger so the cord and charger will not be

stepped on, tripped over or be subjected to damage.

Do not expose charger to wet environment such as

rain or snow.

2. Charge battery cartridge in temperatures above 50°F

(10°C) and below 104°F (40°C). Store tool and battery

cartridge in location where temperatures do not ex-

ceed 120°F (49°C).

3. Plug the battery charger into the proper A/C voltage

source. The charging light will flash in green color

(Figure 13).

Figure 12 – Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI)

WARNING

To prevent serious injury, proper set-up of the ma-

chine and work area is required. The following pro-

cedures should be followed to set-up the machine:

WARNING

Ridge Tool Company 9

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 pins on line plug that are similar in size

and shape to those of the plug on the charger.

• 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.

Do not attempt to use a step-up trans-

former, an engine generator or DC power receptacle.

4. Insert the battery cartridge so that the plus and minus

terminals on the battery cartridge are on the same

sides as their respective markings on the battery

charger. Insert the cartridge fully into the port so that

it rests on the charger port floor.

5. When the battery cartridge is inserted, the charging

light color will change from green to red and charging

will begin. The charging light will remain lit steadily dur-

ing charging. When charging is completed, the

charging light color will change from red to green.

NOTE! Charging time will be approximately one hour.

Charge only Makita type batteries. Other

types of batteries may burst causing personal injury.

6. After charging, unplug the charger from the power

source. Always cover the battery terminals with the

battery cover when the batter cartridge is not used.

Important Charging Notes

1. When you charge a new battery cartridge or a battery

cartridge which has not been used for a long period of

time, it may not accept a full charge. This is a normal

condition and does not indicate a problem. You can

recharge the battery cartridge fully after discharging it

completely and recharging a couple of times.

2. If you charge a battery cartridge from a just-oper-

ated tool or a battery cartridge which has been left in

a location exposed to direct sunlight or heat for a

long time, the charging light may flash in red color. If

this occurs, wait for a while. Charging will begin after

the battery cartridge cools. The battery cartridge will

cool faster if you remove the battery cartridge from the

battery charger.

3. If the charging light flashes alternately in green and red

color, a problem exists and charging is not possible.

The terminals on the charger or battery cartridge are

clogged with dust or the battery cartridge is worn out

or damaged.

4. If you wish to charge two battery cartridges, allow

15 minutes between chargings on the battery charger.

K-40 Battery Drain Cleaner

1. Insert fully charged battery cartridge into holder

(Figure 14). (Battery does not have a memory.)

2. Check work area for:

• Adequate lighting

• Dry place for machine and operator. Do not place

machine in water.

• Flammable liquids, vapors or dust that may ignite.

3. Place the machine is the most convenient position, flat

on the working surface or upright on its back and

close to the drain opening.

4. Position the air foot switch pedal for easy operator

accessibility. Machine is designed for one person op-

eration.

Operating Instructions

WARNING

Never grasp a rotating cable with a rag or loose fit-

ting cloth glove that may become wrapped around

the cable causing serious injury.

Always wear eye protection to protect your eyes

against dirt and other foreign objects. Wear rubber

soled, non-slip shoes.

Be very careful when cleaning drains where chem-

ical compounds have been used. Avoid direct

contact of the skin and especially the eyes and fa-

cial area as serious burns can result. Rinse hands

thoroughly after contact with chemical compounds.

Cleaning Drain Line Using Machine

Without Autofeed

1. Place the FORWARD/REVERSE switch in the FOR-

WARD position.

Power unit must be completely stopped

before moving FORWARD/REVERSE switch. REVERSE

position is used only when removing cable from an ob-

struction or retrieving the cable after the drain is cleared.

2. Pull out enough cable by hand to insert into the drain

opening and hand-feed the cable into the drain until it

stops feeding easily (Figure 15).

3. Turn the machine on by depressing the foot pedal.

4. Continue hand-feeding the cable slowly until the drain

is opened or blockage is encountered. Keep your

cable hand close to the drain opening to keep control

of the cable and help prevent cable flip-over.

Keep your other hand on the extended

cable between K-40 and your cable hand to steady the

exposed cable and maintain cable control.

5. When you reach the blockage, work the cable back

and forth to clear the obstruction. At this point,

progress depends on the type of tool being used and

nature of the blockage. Advance cable slowly.

6. If cable/blade gets hung up in obstruction, release the

foot pedal and let motor come to a complete stop

before reversing.

7. Place FORWARD/REVERSE lever in REVERSE po-

sition.

8. Press foot pedal only until cable/blade is free of ob-

struction. Release foot pedal immediately.

NOTE! Only run machine in REVERSE if relieving cable

from a blockage or retrieving the cable with the

Autofeed.

9. As soon as cable/blade is free and motor has stopped,

return FORWARD/REVERSE lever to FORWARD

position.

10. Continue feeding cable by following Steps 4 through

9 until through obstruction.

11. The speedbump cable end indicator, located ap-

proximately 84″ from the back end of the cable, is a

″ expanded bump in the cable to warn the operator

there is only 6′ of usable cable left. (Figure 23)

12. To withdraw cable from line with machine running,

leave FORWARD/REVERSE lever in FORWARD

position and slowly pull cable from drain.

13. As excess cable is retrieved from line, hand-feed

cable back into K-40 Drum.

14. Turn machine OFF just prior to cable or tool emerg-

ing from drain opening. Retrieve by hand as cable or

tool may contain debris and splash work area.

Cleaning Drain Line Using Guide Hose

With Autofeed

1. Place FORWARD/REVERSE switch into FORWARD

position. Keep autofeed close to drain opening, ap-

proximately 2″ – 6″ (Figure 16).

2. Hand feed approximately one to two feet of cable

into the drain opening.

3. Turn machine ON by depressing foot pedal and be

sure entire cable is spinning before continuing.

4. Depress the autofeed’s feed actuator lever and feed

cable into drain.

NOTE! Know how long your run of pipe is prior to clean-

ing. Running too much cable can damage your

equipment and the drain.

Figure 15 – Push cable down drain line keeping your

control hand close to the drain opening

CAUTION

WARNING

5. Feed cable into drain until obstruction is encountered

or cable begins to bind up.

6. If cable begins to bind up, release feed actuator lever

and pull cable back slightly by hand. Refeed cable into

blockage again. If advancing the cable with the

autofeed is difficult, discontinue using it and advance

the cable by hand until the line clears.

7. Once drain is open and flowing, continue feeding ad-

ditional cable with autofeed to clean rest of drain.

8. The speedbump cable end indicator, located ap-

proximately 84″ from the back end of the cable, is a

″ expanded bump that will not pass through the

autofeed and warns the operator it is time to retrieve

the cable. (Figure 23)

9. To retrieve cable, stop machine completely.

10. Switch the FOR/REV switch to REV.

11. Turn machine ON and depress the feed actuator

lever. It will automatically retrieve the cable from the

drain.

12. Turn machine OFF just prior to cable or tool emerg-

ing from drain opening. Retrieve by hand as cable or

tool may contain debris and splash work area.

HINT! If your cable tool/retriever bulb has hooked onto

a solid blockage such as a rag or ball or hair, it

may be wise to pull the cable out of the drain by

hand. Reversing the cable to retrieve it may

cause the blockage to unscrew off the cable.

NOTE! The only adjustment on the autofeed is the round

top adjustment screw under the feed actuator

lever. Its purpose is to adjust the distance the feed

actuator lever has to be depressed to engage

the different size cables. Turn knob clockwise to

accommodate the larger

″ cable and turn knob

counter clockwise to accommodate the

″ cable. No

adjustment is necessary direct from the factory.

Special Procedures

Loading Cable Into Drum

Your K-40/K-40B is supplied with an inner drum that fits

snugly inside a two-piece drum that allows easy change-

out of cable. To access the inner drum feature:

1. On units supplied with mounting bracket, remove one

mounting bracket bolt and loosen the remaining one.

Swing mounting bracket to OPEN position (Figure 17).

2. Loosen the four screws that hold the drum front to the

drum back. Loosen each screw about 3 full turns

(Figure 18).

3. Separate the drum front from the drum back by twist-

ing apart (Figure 19).

4. Lift the inner drum, with cable, out of its cradled fit.

5. Fit the new inner drum into the drum back and draw

about a foot of cable out of the inner drum (Figure 20).

6. Pass the exposed cable head through the drum front

assembly, align the drum front with the drum back,

and rotate drum front to lock into position. Tighten the

screws.

Torque Arm

The K-40/K-40B is supplied with a torque arm inside

the inner drum (Figure 21) and attached to the back

end of the cable (Figure 22).

The torque arm retains the cable inside the inner drum of

the K-40/K-40B and greatly enhances the performance of

the machine. It is adjustable to different sizes of cable

ranging from

″ through

″.

Cable End Indicator

The C-13-IC SB Cable has a “speedbump” at the back

end of the cable (Figure 23). This bump in the cable will

warn you to stop feeding cable out of the drum. The

“speedbump” is most effective on K-40 units with the

autofeed accessory. The bump will not pass through the

autofeed during operation of the machine. To pass the

bump through the autofeed, lift the actuator handle.

Continuing to feed the cable past the speedbump may re-

sult in the cable coming out of the inner drum requiring

you to reload the cable.

Maintenance Instructions

WARNING

Make sure machine is unplugged from power

source before making any adjustment.

1. Cables should be thoroughly flushed with water after

each use to prevent damaging effects of drain clean-

ing compounds. RIDGID Cable Rust Inhibitor should

be applied prior to storage.

When not in use, store cables indoors to prevent de-

terioration by the elements.

NOTE! Cables should be replaced when they become

severely corroded or worn. A worn cable can

be identified when outside coils of cables be-

come flat.

2. Use a clean cloth to wipe the unit off. Oil, grease

and other substances may cause deterioration. Certain

cleaning agents and solvents damage plastic parts.

Some of these are: gasoline, carbon tetrachloride,

chlorinated cleaning solvents, ammonia and house-

hold detergents that contain ammonia. Avoiding use

of these and other types of cleaning agents mini-

mizes the probability of damage.

3. It is a good idea to regularly drain the inner drums of

any captured liquid. Simply hold the machine nose

down and drain excess liquid each time the machine

is used.

NOTE! Remove the Guide Hose accessory for ease of

draining.

4. Store the unit where it is cool and dry. Avoid those

areas where the temperature will drop to 0°F or ex-

ceed +120°F.

K-40 Drain Cleaner

Autofeed

A drop of grease to the following areas once a month will

extend the life of the Autofeed unit and keep it well main-

tained.

a. Top of Large Top Adjustment Screw

b. Threads on Bottom of Top Adjustment Screw

c. Outside Diameter of Top Roller Holder housing

There are no grease fittings to worry about, however, the

autofeed will accumulate dirt, grease and debris over time.

It is a good idea to periodically remove the autofeed unit

and clean with cleaning solvent and a firm brush.

It is also a good idea to apply a light grease once a

week, to the autofeed roller bearing surface. This will ex-

tend the life of the bearings and keep them free to operate

properly.

Machine Storage

Motor-driven equipment must be kept in-

doors or well covered in rainy weather. Store the drain

cleaner in a locked area that is out of reach of children and

people unfamiliar with drain cleaners. This machine can

cause serious injury in the hands of untrained users.

Consignes de Sécurité Générales

MISE EN GARDE ! Familiarisez-vous avec l’ensemble des

instructions. Le respect des consignes

suivantes vous permettra d’éviter les

risques de choc électrique, d’incendie

et de blessure corporelle grave.

CONSERVEZ CES INSTRUCTIONS !

Sécurité du chantier

• Gardez le chantier propre et bien éclairé. Les étab-

lis encombrés et les locaux mal éclairés sont une

invitation aux accidents.

• N’utilisez pas d’appareils électriques dans un mi-

lieu explosif tel qu’en présence de liquides de gaz

ou de poussière inflammable. L’appareil produit des

étincelles qui pourraient causer la poussière ou les

vapeurs de s’enflammer.

• Gardez les tiers, les enfants et les visiteurs à l’écart

lorsque vous utilisez un appareil électrique. Les dis-

tractions peuvent vous faire perdre le contrôle de

l’appareil.

Sécurité électrique

• Les appareils électriques avec terre doivent être

branchés sur une prise avec terre appropriée et

conforme aux normes en vigueur. Ne jamais en-

lever la barrette de terre ou tenter de modifier la

fiche d’aucune manière. Ne jamais utiliser d’adap-

tateurs de prise. Consultez un électricien qualifié en

cas de doute sur la bonne mise à la terre de la

prise. Dans le cas d’une panne ou d’une défaillance

électrique de l’appareil, la terre assure un passage

de faible résistance qui éloigne le courant électrique de

l’opérateur.

• Evitez de venir en contact avec des masses telles

que les tuyaux, les radiateurs, les cuisinières et les

réfrigérateurs. Les risques de choc électrique aug-

mentent lorsque votre corps est à la masse.

• N’exposez pas les appareils électriques à la pluie

ou aux intempéries. Toute pénétration d’eau à l’in-

térieur d’un appareil électrique augmente les risques de

choc électrique.

• Ne maltraitez pas le cordon électrique de l’ap-

pareil. Ne jamais porter l’appareil par son cordon

électrique, ni tirer sur celui-ci pour débrancher

l’appareil. Gardez le cordon à l’abri des sources de

chaleur, de l’huile, des angles tranchants et des

pièces mobiles. Remplacez immédiatement tout

cordon endommagé. Les cordons endommagés aug-

mentent les risques de choc électrique.

• A l’extérieur, utilisez exclusivement des rallonges

électriques portant la mention “W-A” ou “W”. Ce

type de cordon est prévu pour être utilisé à l’extérieur

et réduit les risques de choc électrique.

• Utilisez uniquement des rallonges à trois fils

équipées d’une fiche bipolaire plus terre à trois bar-

rettes et d’une prise bipolaire plus terre qui

correspond à la fiche de l’appareil. L’utilisation

d’autres types de rallonge électrique n’assurera pas la

mise à la terre de l’appareil et augmentera les risques

de choc électrique.

• Utilisez la section de rallonge appropriée (voir le

tableau). Une section de conducteurs insuffisante en-

traînera des pertes de charge excessive et un manque

de puissance.

• Avant d’utiliser l’appareil, testez le disjoncteur dif-

férentiel du cordon d’alimentation afin de vous

assurer de son bon fonctionnement. La présence

d’un disjoncteur différentiel réduit les risques de choc

électrique.

• Il est déconseillé d’utiliser des rallonges élec-

triques sans disjoncteur différentiel à la source

d’alimentation. Le disjoncteur différentiel de l’appareil

ne protège pas contre les risques de chocs électriques

au niveau des rallonges.

• Gardez les connexions des rallonges électriques

au sec et surélevées. Ne pas manipuler les con-

nexions avec les mains mouillées. Cela réduit les

risques de choc électrique.

Sécurité personnelle

• Restez attentif, faites attention à ce que vous faites

et faites preuve de bon sens lorsque vous utilisez

un appareil électrique. N’utilisez pas ce type d’ap-

pareil lorsque vous êtes fatigués ou lorsque vous

prenez des médicaments, de l’alcool ou des pro-

duits pharmaceutiques. Un instant d’inattention peut

entraîner de graves blessures lorsque l’on utilise un ap-

pareil électrique.

• Habillez-vous de manière appropriée. Ne portez

pas de vêtements amples ni de bijoux. Attachez les

cheveux longs. Gardez vos cheveux, vos vête-

ments et vos gants à l’écart des pièces mobiles.

Les vêtements amples, les bijoux et les cheveux longs

peuvent s’entraver dans les pièces mobiles.

• Evitez les risques de démarrage accidentel. As-

surez-vous que l’interrupteur marche/arrêt est en

position OFF avant de brancher l’appareil. Porter

l’appareil avec un doigt sur la gâchette ou le brancher

lorsque son interrupteur est en position ON sont des in-

vitations aux accidents.

• Enlevez les clés de réglage et autres outils avant de

mettre l’appareil en marche. Une clé laissée sur

une partie rotative de l’appareil peut entraîner des

blessures corporelles.

• Ne vous mettez pas en porte-à-faux. Gardez une

bonne assise et un bon équilibre à tous moments.

Une bonne assise et un bon équilibre vous assurent de

mieux contrôler l’appareil en cas d’imprévu.

• Utilisez les équipements de sécurité appropriés.

Portez une protection oculaire systématiquement.

Un masque à poussière, des chaussures de sécurité,

le casque et/ou une protection auditive doivent être

portés selon les conditions d’utilisation.

Utilisation et entretien de l’appareil

• Utilisez un serre-joint ou autre moyen approprié

pour arrimer l’ouvrage sur une plate-forme sta-

ble. Tenir l’ouvrage à la main ou contre le corps peut

vous mettre en position d’instabilité et vous faire perdre

le contrôle de l’appareil.

• Ne forcez pas l’appareil. Utilisez un appareil qui soit

adapté au travail prévu. L’outil approprié assurera un

meilleur travail et une meilleure sécurité s’il est utilisé au

régime prévu.

• N’utilisez pas un appareil si son interrupteur ne

permet pas de le mettre en marche ou de l’arrêter.

Tout appareil qui ne peut pas être contrôlé par son in-

terrupteur est dangereux et doit être réparé.

• Débranchez le cordon électrique de l’appareil avant

le réglage, le changement d’accessoires ou le

rangement de celui-ci. De telles mesures préven-

tives réduisent le risque de démarrage accidentel de

l’appareil.

• Rangez les appareils non utilisés hors de la portée

des enfants et des amateurs. Ces appareils sont

dangereux entre les mains de personnes non initiées.

• Entretenez les appareils consciencieusement.

Maintenez les outils de coupe bien affûtés et en

bon état de propreté. Les outils bien entretenus et af-

fûtés réduisent les risques de grippage et sont plus

faciles à contrôler.

• Assurez-vous qu’il n’y a pas de mauvais aligne-

ment ou de grippage des pièces rotatives ou

d’autres conditions qui pourraient entraver le bon

fonctionnement de l’appareil. Le cas échéant, faire

réparer l’appareil avant de vous en servir. De nom-

breux accidents sont le résultat d’un appareil mal

entretenu.

• Utilisez exclusivement les accessoires recom-

mandés par le fabricant pour votre appareil

particulier. Des accessoires prévus pour un certain

type d’appareil peuvent être dangereux lorsqu’ils sont

montés sur un autre.

• Gardez les poignées de la machine propres, sèches

et dépourvues d’huile ou de graisse. Cela vous

permettra de mieux contrôler l’appareil.

Réparations

• Toutes réparations de l’appareil doivent être con-

fiées à un réparateur qualifié. La réparation ou

l’entretien de l’appareil par du personnel non qualifié

peut entraîner des blessures.

• Lors de la réparation de l’appareil, utilisez exclu-

sivement des pièces de rechange identiques à

celles d’origine. Suivez les instructions de la sec-

tion “Entretien” du mode d’emploi. L’utilisation de

pièces de rechange non homologuées et le non respect

des consignes d’entretien peut créer un risque de

choc électrique ou de blessure corporelle.

Consignes de sécurité

particulières

MISE EN GARDE !

Lisez ce mode d’emploi soigneusement avant

d’utiliser le dégorgeoir K-40. Tout manque de com-

préhension et de respect des consignes du mode

d’emploi vous met à risque de choc électrique,

d’incendie et/ou de graves blessures corporelles.
