8. Continue to advance the cable until the re-
sistance 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 nec-
essary to spin the cable without advancing
it, or advancing the cable very slowly. This
will help to break up the blockage.
9. If the cable becomes stuck in the block-
age, 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 block-
age 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 squeez-
ing 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
POWER-SPIN ®
rotating. The cable can whip around and
could cause serious injury.
14. Several passes through a line are rec-
ommended for complete cleaning. If
needed, repeat the above procedure.
15. Pull any remaining cable from the line
by hand and push the cable into the
drum.
