damage the cable. Too much cable between the machine and
drain will cause the cable to whip and kink.
8. When the slack in the cable is gone, release the chuck handle
and pull another foot of cable from the machine. Push handle
down again and continue to feed the cable.
9. When you reach the end of the cable section, pull it out of
the machine and slide another cable into the machine, female
end first. Couple the ends together and continue feeding.
10. When you reach the stoppage, move the cable back and
forth as the cable is rotating until the stoppage is cleared.
WARNING: DO NOT USE REVERSE TO PULL CABLE OUT
OF THE DRAIN. ALWAYS RUN YOUR MACHINE IN FORWARD,
WHETHER YOU ARE FEEDING THE CABLE INTO THE LINE OR
PULLING IT OUT. USE REVERSE ONLY TO RELEASE CABLE IF IT
SHOULD BECOME CAUGHT IN THE LINE.
TIP: It is often useful to have a small flow of water in the line
to remove debris from cuts while the machine is in operation
and thereafter.
11. To retract the cable, push the cable against the lip of the pipe
while holding the chuck handle down. The cable will corkscrew
out of the line. After about one foot of cable emerges from
the drain, release the chuck handle and slide the cable into the
machine. Repeat until a complete section is removed from the
line. Then disconnect the cable and remove it from machine.
Continue until all sections are removed from the drain line.
Hint: It is often helpful to run water into the line while you are
retracting the cable to wash away the cuttings and clean the
cable.
WITH 5/16" AND 3/8" CABLES
1. To attach the Small Container for
5/16" cables or Large Container for 3/8"
cables to this product, pull one foot
of cable out of container. Then slide
the container onto rear of machine
allowing the cable end to slide through
the machine body. Depress the chuck
lever to relieve spring pressure and
allow the container casting to fully
seat. Align knob on container with
indent at rear of machine and tighten.
2. If using the 3/8" cable, attach a cutter to the female connector
by sliding the cutter into the slot in the female connector at the
end of cable, then tighten connecting screw and lock washer
firmly in place.
3. Then follow instructions #1, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, and 11 from the

NOTE: To insure that the chuck grips the cable properly
without excessive wear to chuck jaws, push the chuck handle
down sharply when engaging the feed. Pull handle back fully
to disengage the feed. Pulling the handle back will activate a
brake that stops the container from spinning.
VARIABLE SPEED SWITCH
A variable speed control is built into the trigger mechanism.
You can control and increase the machine's speed by applying
more pressure to the foot pedal until you get the speed that
you want. You can also control the machine's direction of
rotation by switching the forward and reverse lever, which is
located just above the trigger switch. Move the lever toward
the Forward arrow for forward rotation and toward the Back
arrow for reverse rotation.
IMPORTANT: For optimal performance of this product I use it
every 10 minutes of continuous use for 20 min rest.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING: DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER SOURCE
BEFORE SERVICING.
To keep your machine operating smoothly, it is essential that
all bearings and cables be lubricated. Oiling moving parts is
particularly important where machine comes into contact with
sand, grit and other abrasive material.
CABLE MAINTENANCE
To get maximum service from your cables, be sure they are
well oiled. Some users periodically pour oil directly into the
container, Then as the container turns, the cables get complete
lubrication, our snake oil is ideal for this purpose since it not
only lubricates the cables; it disinfects and deodorizes them as
well.
TO CLEAN OR REPLACE GRIPPERS
1. Remove chuck cover by unscrewing retaining knob.
2. Remove the slot head screw from the chuck cone.
3. Squeeze the three jaws together and rotate the chuck cone
until a jaw becomes accessible in the open space.
4. Follow the same procedure to remove and clean or replace
each chuck jaw.
5. When complete, be sure to replace the slot head screw to
prevent accidental removal of a jaw.
6. Replace the chuck cover and screw in the retaining knob.
