 The cable should advance freely through the drain pipe
until it contacts the obstruction or is caught in a P-trap.
 If the cable is caught in a P-trap, additional force or
increased trigger pressure should be enough to advance
it past the bend in the pipe.
 If the cable has contacted an obstruction, there are two
ways to remove it:
• Advance the cable by squeezing the switch trigger.
Hold the trigger for several seconds allowing the tip
of the cable to bore into the obstruction. If the cable
stops rotating, release the switch trigger to avoid
kinking or damaging the cable. Clamp the cable
in place, then push or pull until the obstruction is
dislodged. Unclamp the cable and slowly retract it
from the drain pipe.
• Release the pommel and, if neccesary, disengage
the auto-feed lock. Squeeze the switch trigger. The
cable will rotate, but it will not advance. Hold the
trigger for several seconds allowing the obstruction
to wrap around the cable. If the cable stops
rotating, release the switch trigger to avoid
kinking or damaging the cable. Then slowly retract
the cable and pull the obstruction through the drain.
NOTE: When removing the cable from a drain, remove it
slowly to avoid "splash back".
 Once the obstruction is cleared, attempt to flush your
toilet or run water through your drain to confirm that the
water is flowing freely.
 After the cable has been properly cleaned, as described
in the next section, place the cap on the end of the cable.
WARNING:
When servicing, use only identical replacement parts.
Use of any other parts could create a hazard or cause
product damage.

CLEANING THE DRAIN AUGER
See Figures 8 and 9, page 10.
The drain auger should be cleaned after each use to prevent
contamination and residue build up.
To drain the drum:
 Remove the battery pack from the tool.
 Hold the tool at an angle and lift the drain tab located on
the back of the tool.
 Allow any liquids inside the drum to pour down a drain
or into a container approved for liquid waste.
To clean the cable:
 Remove the battery pack from the tool.
 Using a clean cloth and warm soapy water, pull the cable
out from the tool, cleaning it as it advances. Continue
until the cable has been fully advanced and completely
cleaned.
 Using a clean, dry cloth, pull the cable back into the tool,
drying it as it retracts. Continue until the cable has been
fully retracted.
 To ensure that no water entered the tool, drain the drum
as described earlier.
 Place the cap on the end of the cable.
NOTICE:
Do not advance or retract the cable using the switch
trigger unless the cable is in a drain pipe.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE

Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most
plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of
commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use
clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.
