3. Put the power-feed lever in the up (R) position to pull the cable back and free the cutting tool
from the blockage.
4. If the motor can
’t pull the cable out, release the pressure from the foot switch and allow the
cable to stop spinning. Once the cable has stopped spinning, grab the cable with both gloved
hands and pull it free.
5. Once the tool is free of blockage and is turning again, slowly feed the rotating cutting tool back
into the blockage. Do not force the tool through the blockage. Allow the cutting tool to break up
and work 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.
Retrieving drain Cleaner Cable
1. Once the drain is clear, turn on the faucet or use a hose to flush the debris out.
Note
: If the water flow slows or stops, resume using the drain cleaner to locate and clear the blockage
further down the drain.
2. To retrieve the cable, set the power feed lever in the reverse (up) position but make sure the
rotation switch is still in the forward position.
⚠
WARNING
Do not retrieve the cable with the rotation switch set in the reverse position.
3. Keep one hand on the cable because the cable can get caught while being retrieved.
4. Continue retrieving the cable until you can pull it by hand. Release the foot from the foot switch.
⚠
WARNING
Do not pull the
cable from the drain while it’s still rotating. The cable can whip around, causing
serious injury.
5. Turn the rotation switch to the OFF position, dry your hands, and unplug the machine.
6. Release the tension knob and pull the remaining cable from the drain by hand and feed it into
the drain cleaner. If needed, change the cutting tool and continue cleaning.
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 for
relieving pressure or untangling the cable from a blockage. The warranty will
be void if the cable is damaged from allowing the motor to twist excessively
against the blockage, or if the drum is running in reverse long enough to
unwind the cable.
