2.Double insulated tools may be used in either of the 120 volt outlets shown in the pre- ceding illustration. (See Figure B.)

Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI)

A Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) is manufactured within the Power Cord (15), about midway, due to the risk of electrical shock when operating the Drain Cleaner, and its proximity to water and ground. The GFCI provides additional protection from the risk of elec- trical shock.

1.Make sure that the Motor Direction Switch is in the Off position before plugging in the Drain Cleaner.

2.Plug the GFCI Power Plug into a grounded, 120 VAC electrical outlet.

3.Press the TEST button, then press the RESET button.The GFCI indicator should show Red in the window.

If the indicator is not red, try plugging the Power Cord into a different electrical outlet and repeat the steps. If the same results occur, have the Power Cord inspected by a licensed electrician. Repair or replacement must be completed by a licensed electri- cian.

Note: The Power Cord is not GFCI protected from the GFCI unit to the 3-prong plug in the electrical outlet.

Extension Cords

1.Grounded tools require a three wire extension cord. Double Insulated tools can use either a two or three wire extension cord.

2.As the distance from the supply outlet increases, you must use a heavier gauge exten- sion cord. Using extension cords with inadequately sized wire causes a serious drop in voltage, resulting in loss of power and possible tool damage.

(See Figure C, next page.)

3.The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cord. For example, a 14 gauge cord can carry a higher current than a 16 gauge cord.

(See Figure C.)

4.When using more than one extension cord to make up the total length, make sure each cord contains at least the minimum wire size required. (See Figure C.)
