tachments, only use in recommended pipe
size.
Installing Chain Knocker
Selecting a chain knocker:
Only use chain knockers designed for 5/16" cable.
Select the proper chain knocker size by the drain
capacity and application.
Chain knockers without carbide cutting tips can be
used in common pipe types. These chain knock-
ers work well in grease and similar blockages.
Chain knockers with carbide cutting tips are used for
removing scale from the inside of the pipe and can be
used for roots. Carbide cutting tips are used for ag-
gressive cleaning and could damage pipe, especially
softer materials (such as plastics and Orangeburg),
thin walled pipe, or if the chain knocker is kept in one
position for an extended time.
Do not use chain knockers for cleaning in glass, ce-
ramic, porcelain or similar material fixtures or pipes.
Damage could occur.
Collar distance:
A proper collar distance will allow the chains to
spread an appropriate amount when rotated to clean
the pipe walls. Use the supplied collar spacer sized
for the chain knocker. If additional flexibility is re-
quired to navigate a bend, the collar spacer can be re-
moved and the collar distance can be set with a tape
measure. Operating without a collar spacer makes
it more likely for the cable to flip over in use and be
damaged. Do not operate carbide cutters without a
collar spacer to reduce risk of cable damage.
Exposed cable:
The amount of exposed cable (cable not covered by
sheath) should not exceed 1/4". The more exposed
cable there is, the more likely the cable will flip and
be damaged. Exposed cable is set with a bushing
("Knocker bushing") made from the extra sheath
provided. Only use sheath of the correct size for the
cable. Any time sheath is cut, it should be cut cleanly
and squarely. Do not damage the cable when cutting
the sheath.

1. Test fit the chain knocker and collar spacer on the
cable as shown. Chains should be straight; do not
assemble with chains twisted. Cable end should
be flush with the end of the collar. Check length
of exposed cable.
2. Tighten the set screws with the supplied hex
wrench to secure the chain knocker to the cable.
Failure to secure properly can result in damage
or the knocker being lost down the drain.
Telescoping handle
Make sure the handle is locked in the upright position
before transporting.
1. Push the release button with one hand while lift-
ing the handle with the other hand to the upright
position.
2. Reverse the process when storing the handle of
the tool.
Transportation
Make sure the handle is locked in the upright
position before transporting.
Do not use tool to transport other loads or add
additional product.
Move the Forward/OFF/Reverse switch to O
(locked) and remove battery from the tool before
transporting.
Ensure the foot pedal cord is properly wrapped
and the pedal is stored before transporting.
Always clear the area of obstructions before
transporting.
To roll tool from place to place, grasp the handle and
tilt back onto the wheels.
Drain Cleaning Setup
1. Place the drain snake no further than 2' from the
drain. WARNING! Greater distance can cause twist-
ing, kinking, breaking or whipping of the cable.
2. Remove the foot pedal from storage and unwrap
the cord and place to the side, ensuring the cord
will not tangle with the cable.
