Operating Instructions for
General Spin-Drive
For 2" to 4" lines (50mm – 100mm)
Your Spin-Drive is designed to give you years of trouble-free, profitable service. However, no
machine is better than its operator. We therefore suggest you read these instructions through
carefully before using your tool on the job. This will enable you to operate the Spin-Drive more
efficiently and more profitably. Failure to follow these instructions may cause personal injury to
operator and damage to the equipment.
Safety Instructions
Always wear safety glasses and rubber
soled, non-slip shoes. Use of this safety
equipment may prevent serious injury.
Only wear leather gloves. Never use any
other type of glove, such as cloth,
rubber, or coated gloves. Never grasp a
rotating cable with a rag. These items
could become wrapped around the cable
and cause serious injury.
Be careful when cleaning drains where
cleaning chemicals have been used.
Avoid direct contact with corrosive drain
cleaners. Drain cleaning chemicals can
cause serious burns, as well as damage
the cable.

Push cable into pipe until resistance is met.
