speed (less than 500 rpm) and with dry hands insert
the battery, but do not place you finger on the drill
switch yet.
5. Make sure that the drain cleaner is within 4" of the
drain opening, and maintain that distance throughout
the cleaning process. This helps to prevent twisting
and kinking of the cable.
6. Place one hand on the drain cleaner grip with one or
two fingers on the trigger and that other hand on the
drill grip or the crank handle.
7. Turn the drum clockwise (as marked with an arrow on
the back of the drum, see Figure 6 ) and squeeze
the drain cleaner trigger. Squeezing the trigger ad-
vances the cable into the drain.

8. Continue to advance the cable until the resistance is
encountered. Carefully work the cable through the
blockage. Do not force the cable – if the cable stops
turning, it is not cleaning the drain. It may be neces-
sary to spin the cable without advancing it, or ad-
vancing the cable very slowly. This will help to break
up the blockage.
9. If the cable becomes stuck in the blockage, do not
continue turning the drum. Continuing to turn the
drum may cause the cable to twist and kink. It may be
necessary to back the cable out of the blockage by
turning the drum in reverse. In some cases, it may be
possible to pull the cable and the blockage out of
the drain by hand. If this is done, be careful to not
damage the cable. Remove the blockage from the
cable, feed cable back into the drum, and continue
cleaning the drain as detailed above.
10. Once the blockage is broken up and drain is flowing,
if possible, turn the water on to flush any debris down
the drain.
11. Continue to clean the rest of the drain. Pay attention
to how far the cable has gone. Do not overrun the
cable into a larger drain. This can cause the cable to
knot up or cause other damage.

12. Once the drain has been cleaned, turn the drum
counterclockwise while squeezing the drain cleaner
trigger to retract the cable. Pay close attention, as the
cable may lodge in a blockage while being retracted.
13. Release the drain cleaner trigger and stop turning
the drum when the end of the cable nears the drain
opening. Do not pull the cable end from drain while it
is rotating. The cable can whip around and could
cause serious injury.
14. Several passes through a line are recommended for
complete cleaning. If needed, repeat the above pro-
cedure.
15. Pull any remaining cable from the line by hand and
push the cable into the drum.

Maintenance Instructions

Always wear safety glasses and leather gloves
when performing any maintenance.
Drill should be removed from drain cleaner before
any maintenance is performed.

Cleaning

Cable, drum and AUTOFEED should be thoroughly flushed
with water after every use to prevent the damaging effects
of chemicals and sediment. Clean exterior as needed with
hot soapy water and/or disinfectants. Drain drum by tipping
forward after every use and cleaning.
