1. The cable may have a drop-head spring on the end to help the
cable around tight bends, or it may have a connector for attach-
ing cutters to the end.
2. To attach a cutter, first unplug the machine. Then, remove the
screw and lock washer from the connector at the end of the ca-
ble. Slide the cutter into the slot, then replace the lock washer
and connecting screw. Tighten the screw firmly.
3. The Boring Gimlet and Arrow Head are good cutters to start with.
Then change to the larger cutters after you've gotten the water
flowing.
4. Place machine at a distance not greater than six inches (15cm)
from the drain opening. If you can’t place the machine this close
to the drain opening, run the cable through a hose or pipe to
prevent cable whipping.

MANUAL OPERATION
1. Place tool as close as possible, but not more than six inches
from the drain opening. If you can’t place the tool this close to the
drain opening, run the cable through a hose or pipe to prevent
cable whipping.
2. Squeeze the cable feed lever. Turn the handle clockwise to feed
the cable out of the container. Insert the cable into the drain
opening as far as it will go.
3. When you reach the stoppage (resistance is felt), release the
feed lever and continue to turn the crank handle to spin the cable
and cut through the stoppage.
4. When line is clear, retract cable by squeezing the feed lever and
turning the handle in a counter-clockwise direction.
