drainpipe.
NOTE: Advance the cable slowly at first. Advancing it too rapidly can result in twisting or
binding.

until the clog is cleared. Repeat until the drain is clear. If the cable binds, release the trigger
immediately.
NOTE: If the cable is stopped by the blockage of the pipe so that the cable will not rotate, refer
to the "To Unbind Drain Cleaner" section.
g. Once the clog is cleared, attempt to flush your toilet or run water through your drain to
confirm that the water is flowing freely.
