to clean 2" (50mm) to 8" (200mm) drain lines and up to
200 feet (61m) in length depending on size of cable.
Applications include laterals, main lines, commercial
lines.
A FOR/O-OFF/REV switch controls cable rotation and pro-
vides ON/O-OFF control of the motor. An integral Ground
Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) is built into the line cord.
The K-5208 is designed to use
(32mm) diameter sectional-type cable, having a quick-
change coupling system for connecting and disconnect-
ing cables and tools. The cable is manually fed in and out
of the drain and rotates at a speed of 700 RPM.
The rotation of the cable is controlled by a clutch lever
handle. The cable stops instantly when the clutch lever
handle is released.
A cable decoupler is provided for disconnecting the cables
and tools.
