CLEANING WITH YOUR FLEXSHAFT MACHINE
Once the drill is properly set up (items 1-4 above), make sure the
clutch is set to 25%, attach the drill chuck to the drill shaft.
STEP 1
Choose the right chain knocker based on your cleaning situation
(see back for details).
STEP 2
When clearing blockages, operate drill at full speed for best
cleaning. Do not force the chain knocker into blockages. If drill
clutches out, back out of blockage and get chain knockers
spinning again before re-entering the blockage.
STEP 3
If the drill continues to clutch out, the adjustable clutch setting
can be increased. Increase the clutch setting, but do not exceed
75% of the total clutch adjustment range as this increases the
risk of cable damage in the drum of the drain cleaner.
STEP 4
If the drill continues to clutch out, consider using another
RIDGID drain cleaning machine.
STEP 5
THE RIGHT TOOL FOR THE JOB
FlexShaft machines require a cordless drill equipped
with an adjustable clutch and a speed range between
1800 and 2500 RPM. Do not use with an impact driver
or corded drill.

MODE MATTERS
Always set your drill to screw driving mode to enable
the adjustable clutch. The clutch is not operational in
drill or hammer modes (common markings are shown).
3
DIAL UP THE SPEED
Set your drill to the highest speed – typically setting
“2” or “3” is optimal.
2
MANAGE YOUR CLUTCH
Always start cleaning with the adjustable clutch
set relatively low (~25% of the max range).
