How do I install a cutting tool on the cable?

Slide the tool base into the slot at the end of the cable, then secure it with a screwdriver. Four tools are provided: arrow cutter, drill bit, C-cutter and spade cutter.

What safety precautions are essential?

Always wear safety glasses, gloves, hearing protection and a dust mask. Avoid loose clothing and keep hair away from moving parts.

What should I do if the motor does not start?

How do I maintain the cable after use?

Clean the cable to remove debris and lightly grease it. Check that it is not twisted or kinked. Store it in a dry place.

Can I use this device for tough clogs like roots?

The motor heats up during use, is that normal?

Moderate heat is normal, but if the motor becomes very hot, reduce the pushing force. Check lubrication and ensure no foreign objects are inside.

3. Personal safety

a) 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. b) 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.

c) 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 energizing power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

d) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

4. Use

Cutting Tool Accessories

There are four Cutting Tools included with each Drain Cleaner. Select the appropriate tool for the cleaning job and attach to Cable. Each is described in the table below.

Arrow Cutter Boring Bulb Cutter

C-Cutter Spade Cutter

Cutter Tool	Applications
Arrow Cutter (2 piece)	Starting tool; ideal for cutting and scraping
Boring Bulb Cutter	Starting tool; ideal for removing loose objects
C-Cutter	Finishing tool; ideal for grease stoppages and cleaning pipe walls.
Spade Cutter	Finishing tool; used for scraping the inside edg pipes.

NOTICE: If the cause of the obstruction is unknown, use the Boring Bulb Cutter to explore the obstruction and, if possible, retrieve a piece to inspect. Once you can see the cause of the obstruction, select the appropriate tool for the job. Run the smallest available tool through the blockage to allow the backed up water to flow and carry away the debris as the drain is cleaned. Once the drain is flowing, more appropriate tools can be used on the rest of the blockage.

Keep in mind that the largest tool used should be no bigger than the drain's inside diameter, minus an inch.

If properly used, the Drain Cleaners and assorted Drain Cleaner

Accessories will not damage a drain that is in good condition and properly designed, constructed, and maintained.

However, if the drain is in poor condition or has not been properly designed, the drain cleaning work may damage the drain. If possible, visually inspect the drain's quality before operation.

Determine the correct drain cleaning cable size for the drain cleaning job. See Cable/Pipe Size chart below.

Cable Size	Pipe Size	Typical Applications
1/2 Inch	50-100MM to 200MM	Roof stacks and small floor drains (no roots)
3/8 Inch	50-100MM to 200MM	Roof stacks and small floor drains (no roots)
3/4 Inch	100MM to 200MM	Roof stacks and small floor drains (no roots)

• If needed, place protective covers over the work area floor. Cleaning the clogged drain can be a messy operation.
• Make sure that the Drain Cleaner handle is locked into the upright position for transport. If the Drain Cleaner needs to be lifted, use proper lifting techniques

or seek assistance if needed. Use caution when moving equipment up and down stairs. Wear appropriate footwear to help prevent slipping on floor.

• Set the Drain Cleaner so that the drum opening is within 2 feet of the drain access. The greater the distance from the drain access, the higher the risk of cable twisting or kinking.
• If the machine cannot be placed with the drum opening within 2' of the drain access, use appropriate-sized pipes and fittings to extend the drain access back to within 2' of the drum opening. Improper cable support can allow the cable to kink and twist and can damage the cable or injure the operator.
• If needed, set up barriers to keep bystanders away from the Drain Cleaner work area during operation.
• Select proper cutting tool. (See Cutting Tool Accessories).
• Install the tool to the end of the cable. Slide the base of the Cutter Tool into the slot at the end of the cable. Fasten together using a screwdriver.
• Position the Foot Switch for easy accessibility. You must be able to hold and control the cable, control the Foot Switch, and reach the Rotation Switch.
