Drain Cleaning Machine
5.
If
the
cable
becomes
lodged
in
the
drain,
use
sharp
downward
thrust
while
the
cable
is
turning.
Then
try
again
when
the
cable
is
not
turning.
6.
If
the
lodging
is
caused
by
a
bend
and
you
have
difficulty
getting
the
cable
to
pass
the
bend,
you
probably
need
a
thinner
cable.
Try
to
use
a
3/8”
diameter
cable
or
even
a
smaller
one
if
necessary.
Hint:
It’s
often
helpful
to
have
a
small
stream
of
water
running
in
the
line
to
wash
the
debris
away
while
the
machine
is
in
operation.
7.
After
the
line
is
opened,
retrieve
the
cable
from
the
drain
line
and
push
it
back
into
the
drum
while
the
Rotation
Switch
(See
figure
in
Page
5)
is
set
in
the
FOR
position
.
This
is
important
to
prevent
the
cable
from
tangling
in
the
drum
or
in
the
line.
Do
not
set
the
Rotation
Switch
in
REV
when
pulling
the
cable
out
of
the
drain
line.
Always
run
the
machine
in
FOR
rotation,
whether
you
are
feeding
the
cable
into
the
line
or
pulling
it
out.
When
the
cutting
tool
is
near
the
drain
opening,
take
your
foot
off
the
Foot
Switch
to
stop
drum
rotation.
Never
retract
the
cutting
tool
from
drain
while
cable
is
rotating.
The
cable
could
whip
and
cause
serious
injury.
