9. Determine if the Power-Spin can be
placed within 4" (100 mm) of the drain
opening. If not, the drain opening will
need to be extended using similar size
pipe and fittings so that the Power-Spin
can be placed within 4" (100 mm) of the
drain opening (See Fi gure 7). Improper
cable support can allow the cable to kink
or twist and damage the cable/fixture or
injure the operator.

Operating Instructions

WARNING
Always wear eye protection to protect your
eyes against dirt and other foreign objects.
When cleaning drains that might contain
hazardous chemicals or bacteria, wear ap-
propriate protective equipment, such as
goggles, face shields or respirators, to pre-
vent burns and infections. For extra protec-
tion from chemicals and bacteria on the
machine and in the work area, wear latex,
rubber or other liquid barrier gloves under
the leather gloves.
Follow operating instructions to reduce the
risk of injury from twisted or broken cables,
cable ends whipping around, machine tip-
ping, chemical burns, infections and other
causes.
1. Make sure that the work area is free of
bystanders and other distractions.
2. Assume a proper operating position that
will allow
• Good balance and not require any
over reaching.
• Control of the drain cleaner (and drill if
used).
• Ability to maintain the unit 4" (100 mm)
or less from the drain opening.
This will help maintain control of the
cable and machine.
3. Pull cable out of the drum and push into
drain as far as it will go. At least one foot
of cable must be in the drain so that the
cable will not come out and whip around
when the cable starts turning.
4. If using a battery powered drill, confirm
set to low speed (less than 500 rpm) and
with dry hands insert the battery, but do
not place you finger on the drill switch
yet.
5. Make sure that the drain cleaner is within
4" (100 mm) of the drain opening, and
maintain that distance throughout the
cleaning process. This helps to prevent
twisting and kinking of the cable.
