Description

Drain Cleaner Inspection

The RIDGID model K-39 AF, K-39 AF Battery and K-40 are hand-held drain

cleaners designed to clean 3/4” to 21/2” drain lines in kitchens, bathrooms

and utility rooms.

WARNING: To prevent serious injury, inspect your Drain Cleaning Machine.

The following inspection procedures should be performed before each use.

The K-39 electric powered tool is a double-insulated design equipped with

polarized plug. Double insulation eliminates the need for the three-wire

slide-action chuck and the autofeed assembly.

3. 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.

4. Lubricate the Drain Cleaner and the autofeed unit, if necessary, accor-

ding to the Maintenance Instructions.

5. Use accessories that are designed for your drain cleaner and meet

the needs of your application. The correct 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.

6. Clean any oil, grease or dirt from all equipment handles and controls.

This reduces the risk of injury due to a tool or control slipping from your

grip.

7. Inspect cables and couplings for wear and damage. Cables should be

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 cable continue

to rotate. Torque builds until the cable suddenly twists, potentially wrapping

around your hand or arm. This can happen quickly and without warning, so

proceed slowly and carefully as you feed the cable into the drain. If tool gets

Drain Cleaner

1. Cables should be thoroughly fl ushed with water after each use to prevent

damaging effects of drain cleaning compounds. Use RIDGID Cable Rust

Inhibitor or an equivalent oil.

NOTE! When not in use, store cables indoors to prevent deterioration by the

elements.

Cables should be replaced when they become severely corroded or worn. A

worn cable can be identifi ed when outside coils of cables become fl at.

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

may cause deterioration.

these are: gasoline, carbon tetrachloride, chlorinated cleaning solvents,

of these and other types of cleaning agents minimizes the probability of

3. 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.

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

About once a year, return your K-39 to the nearest RIDGID Authorized Service

Center for the following:

• Parts cleaned and inspected.

• Relubricated with fresh lubricant.

• Electrical system tested.

• All repairs.
