risk of injury, the user must read and understand the operator's manual before using this product.

SAVE THIS MANUAL FOR

FUTURE REFERENCE

Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire, and/or serious injury.

Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

WORK AREA SAFETY

• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
• Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
• Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

■ Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
■ Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
■ Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
- Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
■ When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protected supply. Use of a GFCI reduces the risk of electric shock.
■ Use this product only with batteries and chargers listed in tool/appliance/battery pack/charger correlation supplement 987000-432.

PERSONAL SAFETY

■ Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
■ Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
■ Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
■ Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
- Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
■ Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
■ Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to become complacent and ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.
■ Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be drawn into air vents.
- Do not use on a ladder or unstable support. Stable footing on a solid surface enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

POWER TOOL USE AND CARE

• Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
• Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
  ■ Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
  ■ Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
• Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool's operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
  ■ Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
• Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected situations.

BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE

■ Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.
■ Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
■ When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects, that can make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
■ Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
- Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit unpredictable behavior resulting in fire, explosion, or risk of injury.
- Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature above 265° F may cause explosion.
■ Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the battery pack or tool outside the temperature range specified in the instructions. Charging improperly or at temperatures outside the specified range may damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.

SERVICE

■ Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

■ Never service damaged battery packs. Service of battery packs should only be performed by the manufacturer or authorized service providers.

DRAIN AUGER SAFETY WARNINGS

■ Always wear safety goggles or eye protection with side shields marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1 when assembling parts, operating the tool, or performing maintenance. Following this rule will reduce the risk of serious personal injury.
■ Position the the drain auger within four inches of the drain or inlet being cleared. Operating the tool at greater distances can result in the cable twisting or binding.
■ Avoid running the tool in reverse for extended periods of time as this can damage the cable.
■ Never place your hand near the drum or the cable as it is rotating. Following this rule will reduce the risk of serious personal injury.
■ Clogged drains may contain bacteria, cleaning solutions, or other potentially harmful substances. Always wear protective clothing, eye protection, and gloves while operating this tool to prevent these substances from contacting your skin and eyes.
- When removing the cable from a drain, remove it slowly to avoid “splash back”. Use warm, soapy water to clean hands and other body parts that may have been exposed to potentially harmful substances.
■ Carefully position the power cord during use. A power cord in your walking path can be a tripping hazard.
■ Battery tools do not have to be plugged into an electrical outlet; therefore, they are always in operating condition. Be aware of possible hazards when not using your battery tool or when changing accessories. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or serious personal injury.

■ Do not place battery tools or their batteries near fire or heat. This will reduce the risk of explosion and possibly injury.
- Do not crush, drop or damage battery pack. Do not use a battery pack or charger that has been dropped or received a sharp blow. A damaged battery is subject to explosion. Properly dispose of a dropped or damaged battery immediately.
■ Batteries can explode in the presence of a source of ignition, such as a pilot light. To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, never use any cordless product in the presence of open flame. An exploded battery can propel debris and chemicals. If exposed, flush with water immediately.
- Do not charge battery tool in a damp or wet location. Do not use, store, or charge battery packs or products in locations where the temperature is less than 50°F or more than 100°F. Do not store outside or in vehicles.
■ Under extreme usage or temperature conditions, battery leakage may occur. If liquid comes in contact with your skin, wash immediately with soap and water. If liquid gets into your eyes, flush them with clean water for at least 10 minutes, then seek immediate medical attention. Following this rule will reduce the risk of serious personal injury.
■ Save these instructions. Refer to them frequently and use them to instruct others who may use this tool. If you loan someone this tool, loan them these instructions also.

ELECTRICAL

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

This product should be connected to a power supply that is 120 volts, AC only (normal household current), 60 Hz.

Do not operate this product on direct current (DC) through the power cord. A substantial voltage drop will cause a loss of power and the motor will overheat. If the product does not operate when plugged into an outlet, double-check the power supply.

GFCI

Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protection should be provided on the circuit(s) or outlet(s) to be used for the auger. Outlets are available having built-in GFCI protection and may be used for this measure of safety.

EXTENSION CORDS

Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept the tool's plug. When using a power tool at a considerable distance from the power source, use an extension cord heavy enough to carry the current that the tool will draw. An undersized extension cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in a loss of power and causing the motor to overheat. Use the chart provided below to determine the minimum wire size required in an extension cord. Only round jacketed cords listed by Underwriter's Laboratories (UL) should be used.

Use an extension cord that is designed for outside use. This type of cord is designated with “WA” or “W” on the cord’s jacket.

Before using any extension cord, inspect it for loose or exposed wires and cut or worn insulation.

To turn the tool ON, depress the switch trigger. To turn it OFF, release the switch trigger and allow the cable to come to a complete stop.

FEED DIRECTION SELECTOR COLLAR

See Figures 5 and 6, page 14.

The drain auger has three operating modes: forward (F), neutral (N), and retract (R). In the forward (F) position, squeezing the switch trigger will rotate and advance the cable. When the tool is in retract (R) position, the cable will rotate and retract as the switch trigger is squeezed. If the drain auger is in neutral (N), the cable will not rotate, advance, or retract.

NOTE: Never run the tool while the collar is pushed in and in the neutral (N) position. Doing so will cause the cable to kink.

To switch between modes:

■ Lock the switch trigger by placing the direction of rotation selector in OFF (center lock) position.
■ Pull the feed direction selector collar away from the tool and rotate it until the feed indicator is pointing at your desired operating mode.
■ Push the collar toward the drum until it clicks into place.

NOTE: The drum will rotate in the same direction regardless of the direction of feed.

NOTE: For optimal performance, position both the direction of rotation selector and the direction of feed collar as described later in the Feed and Rotation Chart.

WARNING:

Be careful when adjusting the feed direction selector collar, keep fingers and cord away from pinch points. Failure to heed this warning could result in fingers being pinched or the cord being damaged.

OPERATION

SELECTING THE RIGHT FEED AND ROTATION DIRECTION

See Figures 3 and 5, pages 13 and 14.

The drain auger works best when the direction of feed and the direction of rotation are coordinated properly. For example, when advancing the cable through a drain pipe, the direction of feed collar should be in the forward (F) position and the direction of rotation selector should be in the F/R (forward/retract) position. Advancing the cable, using any other rotation and feed direction combination will cause the drain auger to underperform. Refer to the Feed and Direction Chart to determine which rotation and feed directions are best for your application.

FEED AND DIRECTION CHART
	FEED DIRECTION	COLLAR	ROTATION DIRECTION
Advance Cable	F	Pushed In	F/R
Not Recommended	F	Pushed In	N
Retract Cable	R	Pushed In	F/R
Not Recommended	R	Pushed In	N

USING THE DRAIN AUGER

See Figures 8 - 9, page 14.

The drain auger can be used to clear obstructions from a variety of drains including sinks and bathtubs.

NOTE: This product can be used to clear drain pipes with minimum diameters of 0.75 in. and maximum diameters of 2 in.

To clear obstructions:

■ When removing an obstruction from a sink or a bathtub, it may be necessary to remove the stopper or overflow cover to gain access to the drain pipe.
■ Install the appropriate auger tip.
■ Connect the product to an AC or DC power supply.
- Hold the drain auger within four inches of the drain or overflow and manually feed the cable into the drain pipe.
NOTE: Advance the cable slowly at first. Advancing it too rapidly can result in twisting or binding.

■ After feeding about six inches of cable into the drain, you may begin advancing the cable using the switch trigger or continue advancing it manually.

■ The cable should advance freely through the drain pipe until it contacts the obstruction or is caught in a P-trap.

If the cable is caught in a P-trap, additional force or increased trigger pressure should be enough to advance it past the bend in the pipe.
■ If the cable has contacted an obstruction, there are two ways to remove it:

- Leave the direction of rotation selector in the F/R (forward/retract) position and continue squeezing the switch trigger. Hold the trigger for several seconds, allowing the tip of the cable to bore into the obstruction. If the cable stops rotating, release the switch trigger to avoid kinking or damaging the cable. Place the feed direction selector collar in the neutral (N) position, push the collar in, then push or pull the cable manually until the obstruction is dislodged. When finished, slowly retract the cable from the drain.

- Put the direction of rotation selector in the N (neutral) position. Place the feed direction selector collar in the neutral (N) position, then pull it out away from the tool. Squeeze the switch trigger. The cable will rotate, but it will not advance. Hold the trigger for several seconds, allowing the obstruction to wrap around the cable. If the cable stops rotating, release the switch trigger to avoid kinking or damaging the cable. When finished, slowly retract the cable and pull the obstruction through the drain.

NOTE: When removing the cable from a drain, remove it slowly to avoid "splash back".

NOTE: If the tip of the cable is entangled and difficult to remove, change the direction of rotation to N (neutral) and run the tool in neutral to unwind and disengage from the obstruction.

■ Once the obstruction is cleared, run water through your drain to confirm that the water is flowing freely.
■ After the cable has been properly cleaned, as described in the next section, store the unit for later use.

CLEANING THE DRAIN AUGER

See Figure 10, page 14.

The drain auger should be cleaned after each use to prevent contamination and residue build up.

To drain the drum:

■ Remove the battery pack or power cord from the tool.
- Hold the tool at an angle and lift the drain tab located on the back of the tool.

OPERATION

- Allow any liquids inside the drum to pour down a drain or into a container approved for liquid waste.

To clean the cable:

■ Remove the battery pack or power cord from the tool.
■ Using a clean cloth and warm soapy water, pull the cable out from the tool, cleaning it as it advances. Continue until the cable has been fully advanced and completely cleaned.

■ Using a clean, dry cloth, pull the cable back into the tool, drying it as it retracts. Continue until the cable has been fully retracted.
■ To ensure that no water entered the tool, drain the drum as described earlier.

NOTICE:

Do not advance or retract the cable using the switch trigger unless the cable is in a drain pipe.
