4. Lubricate the Drain Cleaning Machine, if
necessary, according to the Maintenance
Instructions.
5. Use tools and accessories that are designed
for your drain cleaner and meet the needs of
your application.
The correct tools and accessories allow you to
do the job successfully and safely. Accessories
suitable for use with other equipment may be
hazardous when used with this drain cleaner.
6. Clean any oil, grease or dirt from all
equipment handles and controls. This reduces
the risk of injury due to a tool or control slipping
from your grip.
7. Inspect the cutting edges of your tools. If
necessary, have them sharpened or replaced
prior to using the Drain Cleaning Machine. Dull
or damaged cutting tools can lead to binding and
cable breakage.
8. Inspect cables and couplings for wear and
damage. Cables should be replaced when they
become severely worn or corroded. A worn
cable can be identified when the outside coils
become flat. Worn or damaged cables can break
causing serious injury.
Machine Set-Up
WARNING
Do not place machine in water. Water entering
the motor can result in electrical shock.
To prevent serious injury, proper set-up of the
machine and work area is required. The
following procedures should be followed to
set-up the machine:
Set-
Up For 5/8″ Sectional Cable
1. Check work area for:
• Adequate lighting
• Grounded electrical outlet
• Clear path to the electrical outlet that does not
contain any sources of heat or oil, sharp edges
or moving parts that may damage electrical cord.
• Dry place for machine and operator. Do not use
the machine while standing in water.
• Flammable liquids, vapors or dust that may
ignite.
2. Position the Drain Cleaning Machine within 2′
of drain inlet. Greater distance can result in
cable twisting or kinking.
3. Make sure FOR/OFF/REV switch is in the
OFF position.
4. Insert first cable into front of machine (female
end first) and push through guide hose until
approximately one foot remains out the front of
the machine (Figure 2).
Figure 2 – Inserting Cable Into Front Of Machine
Never couple more than one cable at a time.
Cable will extend behind rear guide tube.
6. Select and install the proper tool to the end of
the cable. The T-Slot Coupler allows the tool to
be snapped into the cable coupler (Figure 3). To
remove tool, use the pin key to depress the
plunger and slide the coupling apart.

7. Plug the Drain Cleaning Machine into the
electrical outlet, making sure to position the
power cord along the clear path selected earlier.
If the power cord does not reach the outlet, use
an extension cord in good condition.
