OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. The cable may have a drop-head spring on the end
to help the cable around tight bends, or it may have a
connector for attaching cutters to the end.
2. To attach a cutter, first unplug the machine. Then,
remove the screw and lock washer from the connec-
tor at the end of the cable. Slide the cutter into the
slot, then replace the lock washer and connecting
screw. Tighten the screw firmly.
3. The Boring Gimlet and Arrow Head are good cutters
to start with. Then change to the larger cutters after
you've gotten the water flowing.
4. Place machine at a distance
not greater than six inches
from the drain opening. If you
can't place the machine this
close to the drain opening, run
the cable through a hose or
pipe to prevent cable whipping.
5. Insert the cable into the drain
opening as far as it will go.
6. Be sure the Forward/Off/
Reverse switch is in the FOR-
WARD position.
7. Gently squeeze the motor trigger. Then, squeeze the
power cable feed lever to feed cable into the line.
DO NOT FORCE THE CABLE. The job won't go
any faster and you could kink the cable.
DO NOT USE TOO MUCH FORCE –
LET THE CUTTER DO THE WORK.

CAA
toilet bowl
8. Use the variable speed trigger to adjust the feed rate
to the resistance met. Do not force the cable or feed
faster than the cable can go into the drain.
9. Do not leave too much slack in the cable since this
will cause whipping. If the cable starts to bend or
build up too much twist, release the trigger. Push any
excess cable back into the drum and then continue.
DO NOT ALLOW TOO MUCH SLACK IN
THE CABLE BETWEEN MACHINE AND
DRAIN OPENING SINCE THIS CAN
CAUSE CABLE WHIPPING.
10. When the cable reaches the stoppage, put feed in
neutral by releasing feed lever. Move the machine
back and forth as the cable is rotating until the stop-
page has been cleared. Slight feed lever pressure
may be applied as required to maintain contact with
the stoppage.
11. To retract the cable, put Forward/Off/Reverse switch
in the Reverse position and press the feed lever and
motor trigger.
Hint: It's often helpful to have a small stream of
water running in the line to wash the cuttings away
while the machine is in operation and after.
Note: An optional
Stand™ (shown
holds the Power-Vee
greater control of the machine
and cable.
