NOTICE This machine is made to clean drains. If properly used it will not damage a drain that is in good condition and properly designed, constructed and maintained. If the drain is in poor condition, or has not been properly designed, constructed and maintained, the drain cleaning process may not be effective or could cause damage to the drain. The best way to determine the condition of a drain before cleaning is through visual inspection with a camera. Im - proper use of this drain cleaner can damage the drain cleaner and the drain. This machine may not clear all blockages.

Pre-Operation Inspection

WARNING

Before each use, inspect your drain cleaner and correct any problems to reduce the risk of serious injury from electric shock, twisted or broken cables, chemical burns, infections and other

causes and prevent drain cleaner damage.

1. Clean any oil, grease or dirt from all equipment, including handles and controls. This aids inspection and helps prevent the machine or control from slipping from your grip. Clean any debris from the cable and drum.

2. Inspect the drain cleaner for the following items:

3. Proper assembly and completeness.

4. Broken, worn, missing, misaligned or binding parts.
5. Smooth and free movement of the trigger and drum.
6. Presence and readability of the warning label (see Figure 2.)
7. Any condition which may prevent safe and normal operation.

If any problems are found, do not use the drain cleaner until the problems have been repaired.

1. Clean any debris from the cable. Inspect cable for wear and damage - Look for:

2. Obvious flats worn into the outside of the cable (cable is made from round wire and profile should be round).

3. Multiple or excessively large kinks (slight kinks up to 15 degrees can be straightened).
4. Space between the cables indicating the cable has been deformed by stretching, kinking or run in REVERSE.
5. Excessive corrosion from storing wet or exposure to drain chemicals.

All of these forms of wear and damage weaken the cable and make cable twisting, kinking or breaking more likely during use. Replace worn and damaged cable before using drain cleaner.

1. If using the POWER SPIN Drain Cleaner with a Battery Powered Drill, inspect the drill per its instructions. Make sure that the drill is in good operating condition and the switch controls the drill operation. Confirm that the drill turns at less than 500 rpm.

Machine and Work Area Set-Up

WARNING

Set up the drain cleaning machine and work area according to these procedures to reduce the risk of injury from electric shock, twisted or broken cables, chemical burns, infections and other causes, and prevent drain cleaner damage.

1. Check for an appropriate work area. Operate in a clear level, stable, dry location free. Do not use the machine while standing in water.
2. Inspect the drain to be cleaned. If possible, determine the access point(s) to the drain, the size(s) and length(s) of the drain, distance to mainlines, the nature of the blockage, presence of drain cleaning chemicals or other chemicals, etc. If chemicals are present in the drain, it is important to understand the specific safety measures required to work around those chemicals. Contact the chemical manufacturer for required information.
3. Confirm POWER SPIN Drain Cleaner is appropriate for the job (See Specific ca tions). Using incorrect equipment for an application can cause injury or damage the tool.
4. Make sure machine has been properly inspected.
5. If needed, place protective covers in the work area. The drain cleaning process can be messy.
6. If using the POWER SPIN+ by hand, make sure that the crank is present and firmly attached.
7. If using the POWER SPIN with a battery powered drill, remove the crank from the back of the drum by pressing the tabs on the either side (See Figure 2). Securely attach the chuck of the drill to the drum shaft.

Figure 2 - Removing Crank Handle From POWER SPIN+

1. If needed, take appropriate steps to access the drain to be cleaned.

2. For many drains, the cable can be threaded through the cross hairs in the drain (See Figure 3).

3. For a sink with a pop up drain plug: Remove lift rod and drain plug (See Figure 4). Be sure to place a container under the clean out or trap to catch any water that may come out.
4. For other sinks a clean out plug or trap may need to be removed (See Figure 5.) Be sure to place a container under the clean out or trap to catch any water that may come out.
5. For bathtubs, never try to go through the drain, this will damage the cable. Remove the overflow plate and any mechanism to access the drain (See Figure 6).

Figure 3

Figure 4
Figure 5
Figure 6

1. Determine if the drain cleaner can be held within 4^ of the drain opening. Great -

er distance from the drain access increases the risk of the cable twisting or kinking. If not, the drain opening will need to be extended using similar size pipe and fittings so that the drain cleaner can be placed within 4^ of the drain opening (see Figure 7). Improper cable support can allow the cable to kink and twist and damage the cable/fixture or injure the operator.

Figure 7 - Example of Extending Drain to Within 4^ (100 mm) of Drain Opening

Operating Instructions

Always use safety glasses and leather work gloves in good condition while handling or using. Use latex or rubber gloves, face shields, protective clothing, respirators or other appropriate protective equipment when chemicals, bacteria or other toxic or infectious substances are suspected to be present to reduce the risk of infections, burns or other serious personal injury. Wear latex gloves or rubber gloves under leather gloves.

Follow operating instructions to reduce the risk of injury from twisted or broken cables, cable ends whipping around, machine tipping, chemical burns, infections and other causes.

1. Make sure that machine and work area is properly set-up and that the work area is free of bystanders and other distractions.

2. Assume a proper operating position that will allow

3. Good balance and not require any over - 9 reaching.

Control of the drain cleaner (and battery powered drill if used).
- Ability to maintain the unit 4^ (100 mm) or less from the drain opening.

This will help maintain control of the cable and machine.

1. Pull cable out of the drum and push into drain as far as it will go. At least one foot of cable must be in the drain so that the cable will not come out and whip around when the cable starts turning.
2. If using a battery powered drill, confirm set to low speed (less than 500 rpm) and with dry hands insert the battery, but do not place you finger on the drill switch yet.
3. Make sure that the drain cleaner is within 4^ (100 mm) of the drain opening, and maintain that distance throughout the cleaning process. This helps to prevent twisting and kinking of the cable.
4. Place one hand on the drain cleaner handle/ trigger and other hand on the drill grip or the crank handle.
5. Turn the drum clockwise (as marked with an arrow on the back of the drum, see Figure 2) and squeeze the drain cleaner trigger. Squeezing the trigger advances the cable into the drain.

Cable can also be rapidly advanced/retracted by feeding in and out of the drum by hand.

Figure 8 - In Operating Position

1. Continue to advance the cable until the resistance is encountered. Carefully work the cable through the blockage. Do not force the cable - if the cable stops turning, it is not cleaning the drain. It may be necessary to spin the cable without advancing it, or advancing the cable very slowly. This will help to break up the blockage.
2. If the cable becomes stuck in the blockage, do not continue turning the drum.

Continuing to turn the drum may cause the cable to twist and kink. It may be necessary to back the cable out of the blockage by turning the drum in reverse. In some cases, it may be possible to pull the cable and the blockage out of the drain by hand. If this is done, be careful not damage the cable. Remove the blockage from the cable, feed cable back into the drum, and continue cleaning the drain as detailed above.

1. Once the blockage is broken up and drain is flowing, if possible, turn the water on to flush any debris down the drain.
2. Continue to clean the rest of the drain. Pay attention to how far the cable has gone. Do not overrun the cable into a larger drain. This can cause the cable to knot up or cause other damage. The cable includes an increase in diameter that will not feed through the AUTOFEEL mechanism - this can be identified by openings in the cable wind just outside the drain cleaner (see Figure 9).

Figure 9 - Openings in Cable Wind at the End of Cable

1. Once the drain has been cleaned, turn the drum counterclockwise while squeezing the drain cleaner trigger to retract the cable. Pay close attention, as the cable may lodge in a blockage while being retracted.
2. Release the trigger and stop turning the drum when end of the cable nears drain opening. Do not pull the cable end from drain while it is rotating. The cable can whip around and could cause serious injury.

3. Several passes through a line are recommended for complete cleaning. If needed, repeat the above procedure.

4. Pull any remaining cable from the line by hand and push the cable into the drum.

Storage

WARNING The drain cleaner must be kept dry and indoors or well covered if kept outdoors. Store the machine in a locked area that is out of reach of children and people unfamiliar with drain cleaners. This machine can cause serious injury in the hands of untrained users.
