Operating Instructions
1. The cable may have an EL-Basin plug head 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.
DO NOT ALLOW TOO MUCH SLACK IN
THE CABLE BETWEEN MACHINE AND
DRAIN OPENING SINCE THIS CAN
CAUSE CABLE WHIPPING.
5. Slide the grip shield forward to release cable. Place
the cable in the drain by hand as far as it will go.

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.
8. After the cable has fed into the drain, release the trig-
ger.
9. Slide the grip shield forward to release the cable.
Pull the Super-Vee back while holding the able in
place. After you are past the first bend, you probably
will not have to hold the cable as you pull the ma-
chine back.
10. Slide the grip shield back, squeeze the trigger and
move the machine toward the drain again. Slide the
grip shield forward and pull the machine back. Be
sure to allow no more than six inches of cable be-
tween the machine and drain opening. Too much
slack in the cable can cause it to tangle and kink.
11. Repeat procedure until you have worked through the
stoppage.
12. Reverse the procedure to pull the cable out of the
line.
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.
