Specific Safety Information
1. 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.
2. Be sure that your drill is plugged into a properly
grounded receptacle. If in doubt, check receptacle
before plugging in tool. Check the power cord to see
that there are no cuts or frays, and that the grounding
prong on the plug is still in place.
3. If the power cord supplied with your drill is not
long enough, be sure to use a 16 gauge heavy
duty extension cord no more than 50 feet long
and in good condition. Using lighter cords can re-
sult in severe power loss and motor overheating.
4. Place the tool as close as possible, but not more
than six inches from the opening. Greater dis-
tances can result in cable twisting or kinking.
5. Tool is designed for ONE-PERSON operation. Op-
erator must control trigger switch and cable.
6. Never take hold of a rotating cable. Pull the cable
out, or push it back into the container by hand only
when the drill is stopped. When the drill is turning,
always have one hand controlling the trigger switch
and the other hand around the grip sleeve. Opera-
tor's hand may be caught in the moving parts result-
ing in serious injury.
7. Be careful when cleaning drains where cleaning
chemicals have been used. Avoid direct contact
with corrosive drain cleaners. Drain cleaning chemi-
cals can cause serious burns, as well as damage the
cable. Neutralize or remove corrosive drain cleaners
in the drain before starting the job.
8. Do not operate tool with electric drill if operator
or tool is standing in water. Will increase risk of
electrical shock.
9. Wear safety glasses and rubber soled, non-slip
shoes. Use of this safety equipment may prevent
serious injury.
10. Before starting each job, check that the cable in
the drum is not broken or kinked, by pulling the
cable out and checking for wear or breakage. Al-
ways replace worn out (kinked or broken) cables with
genuine GENERAL replacement cables.
11. Only use this tool in the application for which it
was designed. Follow the instructions on the proper
use of the tool. Other uses or modifying the drain
cleaner for other applications may increase risk of
injury.
Operating Instructions
Spin-Thru
Snake
Boring
Head
Thumbscrew
1. Place tool as close as possible, but not more than six
inches from the drain opening. If you can't place the
tool this close to the drain opening, run the cable
through a hose or pipe to prevent cable whipping.
2. Loosen thumbscrew. Insert boring head through
strainer and push into pipe until stoppage is reached
(if head can't pass through strainer, use bent tip at
other end of snake).
For pop-up drain: Remove drain plug by turning &
lifting. If plug won't lift, loosen screw and nut under
sink and withdraw lift rod. Then, insert snake.
3. Tighten thumbscrew and turn knob clockwise, using
a slight forward pressure until exposed length of
snake enters pipe.
4. Loosen the thumbscrew and pull the container back
about six inches.
5. Tighten the thumbscrew and repeat procedure until
drain is open. Don't force the snake! Let the boring
head do the work. Forcing the snake could cause
damage to the tool or personal injury.
DO NOT USE TOO MUCH FORCE –
LET THE CUTTER DO THE WORK.
Hint: It's often helpful to have a small stream of
water running in the line to wash the debris away
while the tool is in operation and after.
