1. Check work area for:
• Adequate lighting
• Clear, level, stable, dry place for ma-
chine and operator. Do not use the ma-
chine while standing in water. If needed,
remove the water from the work area.
2. Inspect the drain to be cleaned. If possi-
ble, determine the access point(s) to the
drain, the size(s) and length(s) of the
drain, distance to mainlines, the nature of
the blockage, presence of drain cleaning
chemicals or other chemicals, etc. If
chemicals are present in the drain, it is
important to understand the specific
safety measures required to work around
those chemicals. Contact the chemical
manufacturer for required information.

equipment for the application. The Power-
Spin is made for:

8. If needed, take appropriate steps to ac-
cess the drain to be cleaned.
• For many drains, the cable can be
threaded through the cross hairs in
the drain (See Figure 3).
• For a sink with a pop up drain plug:
Remove lift rod and drain plug (See
Figure 4) . Be sure to place a container
under the clean out or trap to catch
any water that may come out.
• For other sinks a clean out plug or
trap may need to be removed (See
Figure 5.) Be sure to place a con-
tainer under the clean out or trap to
catch any water that may come out.
• For bathtubs, never try to go through
the drain, this will damage the cable.
Remove the overflow plate and any
mechanism to access the drain (See
Fi gure 6) .
