shock if a short circuit should occur. The GFCI
should be tested before each use.
1. Plug into 127 V~ receptacle.
2. Push test button. Indicator light will go out
and power to machine should cut off.
3. If light does not go out when test button is
pushed, equipment should not be used until
proper repairs can be made.
4. To restore power after test, push reset button.
With the reset button depressed, if the machine
doesn't start, stops while running, or if the
operator experiences a mild shock, do not use
the machine! Take it to a motor repair center or
return it to the factory for repairs.
NOTE: the section of cord between the wall plug
and the GFCI is not in the protected circuit.
ADJUSTING BEFORE OPERATING
The chuck has two sets of notches, one for 5/8"
cables and one for 7/8" cables. Use the following
procedure to switch between cable sizes:
1. Remove the chuck cover by unscrewing
retaining knob.
2. The chuck cone has three small notches for
5/8" cables and three large ones for 7/8" cables.
They are marked accordingly.
3. Squeeze the three jaws together while
rotating the chuck cone to the desired setting.
4. Replace the chuck cover and screw in the
retaining knob.
WITH 5/8" AND 7/8" SECTIONAL CABLES
1. Place machine within two feet of drain
opening. If you can't get the machine closer, run
the cable through a metal pipe to prevent cable
whipping.
2. Attach Rear Guide Hose by aligning knob on
guide hose with indent on rear of machine and
tighten.
3. Slide cable section, female connector first,
into front of machine. Never use more than one
section at a time.

Medium drains and long runs
4. Insert cutting tool into male connector. Start
with the small cutters to get the line open. After
the line is opened, follow with larger blades,
which scrape the inside walls of the pipe,
assuring a real cleaning job.
NOTE: to attach a cutter to 5/8" or 7/8" sectional
cables, slide the slot on the cutter over the tab
on the female connector until the spring pin
pops into place. To remove the cutter, use the
coupling key. Push the key into the hole just
below the slot in the female connector, then
slide the cable ends apart. Cable sections are
coupled and uncoupled the same way.
5. Push the cable section into the drain opening
as far as it will go. Then pull an additional foot
of cable from the machine so that an arc is
formed.
6. Turn the power switch to the forward
position. The motor will start running.
7. Put one gloved hand on the cable then push
the chuck handle down with the other. The
cable will spin in place. Guide the cable into the
line with a firm even pressure. Do not force the
cable. You won't clear the line any faster and
you could 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
