Set-Up and Operation
See the Specifications section along with this
section for information on acceptable battery
powered drills for use with the FlexShaft Drain
Cleaning Machines. There are many types of
battery powered drills available, and not all are
appropriate for use with the FlexShaft Drain
Cleaning Machines. If there is any question
about appropriateness of a drill for this appli-

the drill before making any adjustments or
attaching to/removing from the drain cleaning
machine.
