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.
