Electric Drain Cleaner - CE50

E&OE

If the cutting tool becomes lodged and the cable is still rotating, the cable will start to

twist – release the foot switch to stop the motor immediately

to help prevent

damaging the cable

(the cable drum may rotate backwards somewhat as tension in the cable releases).

Ensure that the tool and/or cable is

dislodged

before continuing to use the machine. • If the cause of the

obstruction is unknown, use the

Boring Bulb

cutter to explore the obstruction and, if possible, retrieve a piece

to inspect. Once you can see the cause of the obstruction, select the appropriate tool for the job. Run the

smallest available tool through the blockage to allow the backed up water to flow and carry away the debris

as the drain clears.
Once the drain is flowing, more appropriate tools can be used on any remaining blockage.

Keep in mind

that the largest tool used should be no bigger than the drain inside diameter, minus 25mm (1").

If properly used, the machine will not damage a drain that is in good condition and properly designed,

constructed, and maintained. However, if the drain is in poor condition or has not been properly designed,

drain clearing work may damage it. If possible, visually inspect the drain quality before operation.

Feeding the Cable

Only one person should operate the machine. Do not operate the machine with one person

controlling the cable and another person controlling the foot switch. This can cause the

cable to kink, twist, and break, which can also lead to serious personal Injury.

Place the motor switch in the "FOR" position.
Grasp the cable with gloved hands and start feeding the cable into the drain as far as it will go.
Press the foot switch to activate the cable drum, and continue feeding the cable into the drain.

•

If the cable becomes lodged (for example: in a narrow part of the drain, in a drain trap, etc.), stop feeding

the cable and allow the cable to work past the obstruction.

•

If the cable still will not pass the obstruction, release the foot switch, then pulse it to try and clear the

obstruction.

•

Once the cable is free of the obstruction, press the foot switch and continue feeding.

The motor switch controls rotational direction of the cable drum only. Do NOT use the "REV" position

to retract the cable. Use "REV" only momentarily for relieving pressure or

untangling cable from an

obstruction

. •

The warranty may be voided if the cable is damaged through excessive twisting, or if the

cable drum is run in reverse long enough to unwind cable.
