6
Hold the machine as close as possible
to the drain or pipe you are cleaning. If
the machine can not be held close to
the entry use a guide hose. If the dis-
tance is too great that may cause the
flexible shaft to twist and snap.
2.8
In case the flexible shaft is blocked
immediately stop the machine. Other-
wise the flexible shaft may be over-
stressed and get out of control, snap or
twist. That may cause severe injury.
Always use the reverse gear to free the
flexible shaft.
2.9
Machine and flexible shaft must be
controlled by the same person. In case
the flexible shaft is blocked the operator
must be able to immediately stop the
machine, so the flexible shaft can not
kink, twist or snap.
2.10
Do not operate the machine in reverse
gear. The reverse gear is only intended
to free the flexible shaft in case or it
being blocked.
2.11
This machine is intended only for clean-
ing drains and pipes. All other uses are
forbidden.
2.12
Periodically check all nuts, bolts and
other fixings and tighten where
necessary.
3. Before first use
Remove the machine and the accessories
from the packaging. Check the machine for
transport damage and do not use the

5. Intended use
This portable, battery-powered drain auger
is intended for removing stubborn block-
ages in drains and pipes.
6. Setting the rotation direction
The machine is equipped with two operat-
ing elements, a forward/neutral/reverse
lever and a rotating direction switch.
To unblock a drain use the machine in
clockwise rotation. To do so set the rotating
direction switch (3) so that the end left end
marked with R is proud of the machine.
When the machine is started with the trig-
ger switch (4) the shaft (1) rotates, seen
from your side, clockwise. When you push
the forward/neutral/reverse lever (2) for-
ward the flexible shaft is driven forward out
of the machine. In neutral position of the
lever the shaft rotates but is not fed in any
direction and when the lever is pulled back
the shaft is retracted into the machine.
The reverse (counter clockwise) operation
of the machine is used for freeing up a
blocked flexible shaft. To do so, set the
rotating direction switch (3) so that the right
end marked with L is proud of the machine.
When the machine is started with the trig-
ger switch (4) the shaft rotates, seen from
your side, counter clockwise. When you
push the forward/neutral/reverse lever (2)
forward the flexible shaft is retracted back
into the machine.
In neutral position of the lever the shaft
rotates but is not fed in any direction and
when the lever is pulled back the shaft is
driven forward out of the machine.
7. Further notes on unblocking a
drain
Remove the drain trap, if present. Also
remove further sliding pipework of the drain
if present.
Do not wear loose–fitting clothing or jewel-
lery which may get caught in the flexible
shaft. If you have long hair wear a hair net.
Do not use loose work gloves which may
get caught in the shaft. Protect your hands
with tight-fitting coated fabric gloves and if
necessary, wear latex or rubber gloves
under these.
Always bring the machine as close as possi-
ble to the entry of the pipe. If this is not
possible run the free part of the shaft
