OPERATION
1. Place machine at a distance no 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.
2. Loosen the chuck. Insert the cable into the drain opening as far
as it will go. Tighten the chuck by turning it in a counter-
clockwise direction. Note: Chuck does not require a key. Simply
rotate the chuck until the jaws firmly grip the cable.
3. Be sure the Forward/Off/Reverse switch is in the FORWARD
position.
4. Gently squeeze the motor trigger and move the machine forward
toward the drain opening.
5. 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.
6. After the cable has been fed into the drain, release the trigger.
7. Loosen the chuck by turning it in a clockwise direction. Pull the
Drain Gun back while holding the cable in place. After you are
past the first bend, you probably will not have to hold the cable
as you pull the machine back.
8. Tighten chuck, squeeze the trigger and move machine toward
drain again.
9. Loosen chuck and pull back. Be sure to allow no more than six
inches of cable between the machine and the drain opening.
Too much slack in the cable can cause it to tangle and kink.
10. Repeat procedure until you have worked through the stoppage.
11. Reverse procedure to pull the cable out of the line.
DO NOT USE REVERSE TO PULL THE CABLE
OUT OF THE DRAIN. ALWAYS RUN MACHINE
IN FORWARD. USE REVERSE ONLY TO
RELEASE CABLE IF CAUGHT IN 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.
TO CHANGE CABLES
DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER SOURCE BE-
FORE INSTALLING CABLES OR DRUMS!
1. Loosen the chuck so that the cable will pass through it easily.
2. Push the back end of the cable through the chuck and into the
drum.
3. If you are loading a 3/8" cable into the drum, put a slight bend in
the cable one inch from the end so that it will load more easily.
MAINTENANCE
DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER SOURCE BE-
FORE PERFORMINGMAINTENANCE ON MACHINE!
To keep your machine operating smoothly, it is essential that all bear-
ings and bushings be lubricated. Oiling moving parts is particularly
important where machine comes in contact with sand, grit and other
abrasive material.
CABLE MAINTENENCE
To get maximum service from your cables,
be sure that they are clean and well oiled.
This not only provides running lubrication
but greatly extends the life of the cables as
well. Some users periodically pour oil
directly into the drum. Then, as the drum
turns, the cables get complete lubrication.
Our SNAKE OIL is ideally suited for this
purpose, since it not only lubricates the
cables, it deodorizes them as well.
TO REMOVE MOTOR
1. Pull the cable out of the drum.
2. Loosen the three screws that hold the drum front and back to-
gether.
3. Pull the drum front off of the machine.
4. Loosen the two set screws in the beveled collar and remove both
the collar and the felt washer.
5. Slide a flat head screw driver into the Hub Spindle and unscrew
the Left Hand locking screw from the drive shaft by turning it
clockwise.
6. Unscrew the Hub Spindle from the Right Hand Drive Shaft by
rotating the drum back counter-clockwise. Note: The Hub Spin-
dle, Hub, and Drum Back remain as one unit. The thrust bearing
will slide freely.
7.
Reverse these instructions to re-assemble.
