OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
Figure 1
IMPORTANT: You must read the safety instructions
for this machine before use.
1 For best results it is recommended that the machine is
positioned within 2 feet of the drain. (see Fig. 1)
2 Loosen the thumbscrew, pull sufficient cable out of the drum and
place the end of the cable as far into the drain as possible.
3 Attach the drill motor cord to the air press box.
4 Attach the air foot switch to the press box.(see Fig. 2)
5 Plug the press box cord to the outlet. (see Fig. 2)
6 Pull approximately 5 feet of extra cable from the drum
creating a slight loop of cable between the machine and the
inlet. This should gently be fed into the inlet.
7 To operate, place the drill motor switch in the forward (FOR)
position and depress the foot pedal.
8 DO NOT operate this machine in reverse. Operating the
machine in reverse can result in cable damage and must only
be used to help back a cable out of an obstruction.
9 Continue to push the cable into the sewer outlet or drainpipe
using a gloved hand. Do not use a woolen glove. After feeding
the cable in by hand, lock the thumbscrew onto the cable
before squeezing the trigger again.
10 Once the obstruction has been cleared, the line should be
washed through with a hose or power washer.
Note: It is recommended that the cable is continuously flushed
through with clean water as it is being retrieved from the inlet and
again before putting it away.
11 To retrieve the cable, first stop the machine. Then, feed all the
cable into the drum, cleaning it in cold water as you go.
12 Finally, tighten the thumbscrew by hand.
Warning A: Do not allow the cable to get hung up on the obstruction.
If the cable end gets hung up on an obstruction, stop the motor and
reverse (REV) the drill until the cable becomes free. Once free from
the obstruction, turn motor to the forward (FOR) position and resume
clearance operation.
Warning B: Do not allow cables to become “over-stressed.” Over
stressing cables due to a stubborn obstruction or snag will create
tension in the cable leading to cable damage or an unpredictable
cable reaction. If the cable becomes over-stressed, follow the same
procedure as advised in “Warning A.”
Warning C: Never fully retract the cable from the inlet while it
is rotating.
