6.  As you feed cable, you may feel and see cable slow down and/or start to wind or load up (a 

twisting or squirming motion). This may indicate a change in the drain line (such as a drain 

trap, elbow, etc.), a build-up in the drain (mud or grease), or the actual blockage. Continue to 

slowly feed the cable until it reaches the blockage. 

WARNING

 

Do not allow the cable to build up outside the drain. This can cause the cable to twist, kink, or 

break. When working with larger sewers or septic tanks, minimize the amount of cable fed to 

prevent kinking and knotting of the cable. 

 

7.  If the cable becomes lodged in the narrow part of the drain or in a drain trap, allow the cable to 

try and work itself past the obstruction. If the cable still won

’t pass obstruction, release pressure 

from the foot switch and use sharp downward thrusts to try and pass obstruction. Once the 

cable has passed, press the foot switch and continue feeding. 

 

Note

The rotation switch controls the rotation of the drum only. DO NOT USE THE 

ROTATION SWITCH IN THE REV POSITION WHILE REMOVING THE CABLE 

FROM THE PIPE. Use the reverse direction only momentarily to relieve pressure or 

to untangle cable from a blockage. Warranty will be void if the cable is damaged from allowing the 

motor to twist excessively against the blockage, or if the drum is run in reverse long enough to unwind 

the cable. 

Working Through a Blockage                                                              

1.  If cutting tool becomes lodged in blockage and drain cleaner is still operating, the cable will start 

to wind up or twist. If so, immediately turn off, let tension release, and then pull back on cable to 

free cutting tool from the drain blockage. If cable cannot be freed by pulling back, briefly turn the 

motor on in REV setting to free the cutting tool. 

WARNING

 

Do not keep cable rotating if cutting tool is lodged in a blockage. If cutting tool stops turning and 

drum keeps rotating, cable can twist, kink, break, or tangle in the drain. 

2.  Once cutting tool is free of blockage and is turning again, slowly feed the rotating cutting tool 

back into the blockage. Do not force the cutting tool through the blockage. 

3.  Allow the spinning and cutting to break up and work its way through the blockage.  

Note: 

While working through the blockage, the cutting tool and the cable can get clogged with debris and 

cuttings from the blockage can prevent further cleaning. The cable and the cutting tool will then need 

to be removed from the drain, as well as the debris. See the Retrieving Drain Cleaner Cable section.
