Releasing clutch handle will stop the cable ro-
tating and releases the torque. If tool gets hung
up in an obstruction.
9. Once obstruction is cleared, it is recom-
mended that operator flush debris from line
with running water.
Repeat Step 8 several times if necessary for
thorough cleaning job and then work cable
through additional stoppages as required.
10. To add cable, the following procedure should be
followed:
· After reaching the end of each cable section,
turn the machine OFF.
· Secure the cable by
looping it in the line.
This procedure is es-
pecially useful when
cleaning a line that has
rapid fall, such as work-
ing from a stack line.
· With line secured, insert another section of
cable in through the front of the machine (fe-
male end first) until approximately one foot
remains out the front of the machine.
· Attach cable to cable in line and resume op-
eration.
11. To retrieve cable from drain line, the fol-
lowing procedure should be followed:
· Leave FOR/OFF/REV switch in FOR (forward)
position.
· Push down on clutch handle to engage cable.
With mitted hand pull cable out of line (if pos-
sible) or hold cable against edge of inlet to
thread the cable out until loop forms in front
of the machine.
NOTE: By holding the cable against the edge
of the inlet, in the FOR (FORWARD) position, the
rotation will rapidly "thread" the cable out of
the line.
· When loop forms, release clutch handle and
push excess cable back through machine. Dis-
connect one section at a time.
· Once section of cable is removed, insert the
secured cable in through the front of the ma-
chine and continue removing sections until
tool on last section of cable is just inside sewer
inlet.
12. Turn FOR/OFF/REV Switch to OFF position.
13. Pull remaining cable and tool from sewer.

CLEANING DRAIN USING 5/16" OR 3/8" CA-
BLE ADAPTER
1. Assume the correct operating posture in or-
der to maintain proper balance. Should an un-
expected situation arise, this posture provides
you with the opportunity to safely keep con-
trol of the machine and cable.
• Be sure you can quickly release the clutch
handle.
• Hand must be on the cable to control its
twisting action when it hits an obstruction.
• Must have access to FOR/OFF/REVERSE switch.
2. Pull out enough cable by hand to insert into
the drain opening and hand-feed the cable
into drain until it stops feeding easily. Push ca-
ble down drain line keeping your control hand
close to the drain opening.
3. Hold cable loosely in mittened hand, put
FOR/OFF/ REV SWITCH in FOR (forward) posi-
tion. The motor will start but cable will not
rotate.
4. With mitted hand on cable, push down on
clutch handle with opposite hand to engage
adapter.
5. Continue hand-feeding the cable slowly un-
til the drain is opened or blockage is encoun-
tered.
Keep your cable hand close to the drain open-
ing to keep control of the cable and help pre-
vent cable flip-over.
6. When you reach the blockage, work the
cable back and forth to clear the obstruction.
At this point, progress depends on the type of
tool being used and nature of the blockage.
Advance cable slowly.
7. If cable gets hung up in the obstruction, re-
lease the clutch handle to stop the rotation of
the cable.
8. Once obstruction is cleared, it is recom-
mended that operator flush debris from line
with running water.
Repeat Step 6 several times if necessary for
thorough cleaning job and then work cable
through additional stoppages as required.
Cable is not attached inside drum. When ap-
proaching end of cable, keep hand securely on
cable to avoid losing it down the drain.
9. To withdraw cable from line with machine
running, leave FOR/REV lever in FORWARD po-
sition and slowly pull cable from drain.
10. As excess cable is retrieved from line, hand-
feed cable back into the drain cleaner.
