10. Place the drum assembly into the machine by fol-

Proper Tool Selection

A good rule of thumb is to make the first pass with either
a grease cutter or blade cutter that is 2" smaller than the
drain size. For additional passes, larger tools may be
used. However, tools should generally be at least 1"
smaller than the drain size. Use a full size blade on the
final pass.
The style of tool is determined by the nature of the job and
is left to the discretion of the operator.
Flexible leaders should be used to negotiate bends and
traps in lines.
