Warranty void if cable damaged from allowing motor to twist excessively
against blockage, or if drum is run in reverse long enough to unwind cable.
Working Through a Blockage
1. If cutting tool becomes lodged in a blockage and Drain Cleaner is still
operating, cable will start to wind up or twist. If so, release pressure from
Foot Switch and Drain Cleaner motor will stop.
WARNING! Do not let cable build up outside drain.
2. The cable and drum will turn backwards until the tension in the cable is
released.
WARNING! Do not remove gloved hand from cable until all the tension is
released.
3. Put Power Feed Lever in "reverse" position to pull cable back and
free cutting tool from blockage.
4.
If motor can't pull cable out, release pressure from Foot Switch and
allow cable to stop spinning. Once cable has stopped spinning, grab cable
with both gloved hands and pull cable free.
5. Once tool is free of blockage and is turning again, slowly feed rotating
cutting tool back into blockage. Do not force tool through blockage.
Allow cutting tip to break up and work through blockage.
CAUTION: While working through the blockage, tool and cable can get
clogged with debris from blockage, preventing further cleaning. The cable
and tool will then need to be retrieved from drain and debris removed.
Retrieving Drain Cleaner Cable
1. Once drain is clear, turn on faucet or use a hose to flush debris out.
NOTE: If water flow slows or stops, resume using the drain cleaner to
locate and clear blockage further down the drain.
2. To retrieve cable, set Power Feed Lever in reverse (up) position but
NOTICE
Rotation Switch controls rotation of drum only.
DO NOT USE ROTATION SWITCH REVERSE
POSITION WHILE REMOVING CABLE FROM PIPE.
Use reverse direction only momentarily for
relieving pressure or untangling cable from a
blockage.
