Heavy blockages
For heavy blockages, try the following
procedures.
1. Twist the lock ring anticlockwise to
increase the pressure.
2. Press the power switch/speed control
to slow speed mode and check the
movement of the auger. If the auger gets
stuck or twisted, release the power switch
immediately to stop the rotation.
NOTE:
Do not force the feeding of the auger.
3. Run the feed lever alternately in "F" and
"0" mode to carefully clear the pipe.
Regardless of whether the clearing was successful
the lock ring must be turned clockwise to reduce
the pressure on the feed jaws and to pull back the
auger with the automatic feed mode.
If the auger gets stuck
If the auger gets stuck in the pipe and cannot
clear or be withdrawn, press the rotation
selector button "B" and move the feed lever to
the "F" position to try to release and pull out
the auger.
NOTE:
There can be various degrees of obstructions
and blockages in the pipe – pay attention
and carefully check how the auger moves.
Stop the movement immediately if the auger
gets twisted or stuck and take the requisite
steps to release it. Do not force or overload
the product – get professional assistance if
the pipe cannot be cleared with the product.
MAINTENANCE
Switch off the product with the power switch
and remove the battery before checking or
maintaining the product.
2. Press the power switch a little and move
the feed lever back to "R". The auger now
pulls in (backwards).
FIG. 5
The direction of feed is reversed when the
rotation selector button (1) is pressed. When
the feed lever is in the "0" position (neutral)
there is no feeding, regardless of the direction
of rotation.
FIG. 6
PIPE CLEARING
IMPORTANT:
Familiarise yourself with the automatic
feeding before you start clearing – incorrect
use can result in a risk of personal injury and
material damage.
1. Hold the product with its front end no
more than 150 mm from the end of the
pipe. The auger can get twisted if the gap
is more than this, and with a shorter gap
it is difficult to control the auger.

2. Press the rotation selector button "A",
press the power switch/speed control a
little, and move the feed lever forwards
to "F". The auger now feeds out and you
can start clearing. After clearing, press the
rotation selector button "B" to pull out
the auger.
3. If the auger gets stuck, for example as a
result of a heavy blockage or sharp pipe
bend, pull the feed lever back to the "B"
position and allow the auger to pull back
a little before feeding it forwards again.
Feed the auger backwards and forwards
repeatedly to clear the pipe and to get
past pipe bends. Do not force the feeding
action – this can cause the auger to get
twisted or break, which can result in
serious personal injury.
