5. Make sure there is a clear, unobstructed path from the drain cleaner to the electrical outlet.
6. Inspect the drain to be cleaned. If possible, determine the best access point(s) to the drain, the
size(s) and length(s) of the drain, distance to the tanks or mainlines, the nature of the blockage,
presence of drain cleaning chemicals or other chemicals, etc.
7. If there are chemicals present in the drain, read and adhere to the specific safety measures
required to work around those chemicals. Contact the chemical manufacturer for required safety
instructions and information.
8. If necessary, remove the fixture (toilet, sink, etc.) to allow access to the drain. Do not feed the
cable through a fixture. This could damage the drain cleaner and the fixture.
9. Determine the correct drain cleaning cable size for the drain cleaning job. See the chart below.
Cable Size Pipe Size Typical Applications
1/2
″
2
″ to 4″

Roof stacks

Laundry lines

Small drains (no
roots)
10. If needed, place protection over the work floor area. Cleaning a clogged drain can be messy.
11. Make sure that the drain cleaner handle is locked into the upright position for transport. If the
drain cleaner needs to be lifted, use proper lifting techniques or seek assistance if needed. Use
caution when moving equipment up and down stairs. Wear appropriate footwear to help prevent
slipping on floor.
12. To prevent the cable from whipping, place the drain cleaner within two feet of the drain line. The
greater the distance from the drain access, the higher the risk of the cable twisting or kinking.
13. If the drain cleaner cannot be placed within two feet of the drain access, use appropriate-sized
pipes and fittings to extend the drain access back to within two feet of the drum opening. Improper
cable support can allow the cable to kink and twist and can damage the cable or injure the
operator.
14. If needed, set up barriers to keep bystanders away from the drain cleaner and work area during
operation.
15. Select the proper cutting tool.
16. Install the cutting tool to the end of the cable. Slide the base of the cutting tool into the slot at the
end of the cable. Fasten them together using a screwdriver.
17. Position the foot switch for easy accessibility. You must be able to hold and control the cable,
control the foot switch, and reach the rotation switch.
18. Confirm that the rotation switch is in the OFF position.
19. Run the cord along the clear path. With dry hands, plug the drain cleaner into a properly grounded
outlet. Keep all connections dry and off the ground.
