14. Verify the electrical outlet is properly grounded. A three oring or GFCI outlet may not be properly grounded.
If in doubt, have the outlet inspected by a licensed technician. 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.
15. Postion the foot switch for easy accessibility. You must be able to hold and control the cable, control the
foot switch and reach the power switch.
16. Conrm that the power switch is in the OFF position.
17. Run the cord along the clear path. With dry hands, plug the drain cleaner into a properly grounded outlet.
18. If the power cord is not long enough, use an extension cord that is in good condition and has a three
prong plug similar to the one supplied on the drain cleaner. Keep the connection off the ground to prevent
it from getting wet.
WORKING THROUGH A BLOCKAGE
1. If the cutting tool becomes lodged in blockage and drain cleaner is still operating, the cable will start to
wind up or twist. If this happens, oull back on the cable to free the cutting too from the blockage.
WARNING: DO NOT keep the cable rotating if the tool is lodged in a blockage. If the tool stops turning and
the drum still rotates, the cable can twist, kink or break.
2. Once the tool is free of blockage and is turning again, slowly feed rotating cutting tool back into the
vlockage. Do not force the tool through blockage.
3. Allow the spinning and cutting to break up and work the blockage. CAUTION: While working the blockage,
the tool and cable can get clogged with debris and cuttings from blockage, preventing further cleaning. The
cable tool will then need to be retreived from the drain and the debris removed.
HANDLING LODGED CUTTING TOOL
1. If the cutting tool stops turning and the cable cannot be pulled from the blockage, release the foot switch
while holding the cable with both hands.
WARNING: DO NOT remove hands from the cable or the cable may kink, twist and break.
2. The drain cleaner motor will stop and the cable and drum will turn backwards until tension in the cable is
released.
WARNING: DO NOT remove hands from the cable until all the tension is released.
3. Place the power switch in the OFF position.
FREEING A LODGED CUTTING TOOL
1. Release the foot switch and turn the power switch to the off position.
3. Hold the cable with both hands, press the foot switch for several seconds and pull on the cable until it is
free of the blockage.
WARNING: DO NOT operate the drain cleaner in reverse for any longer than is needed to be free the
cutting tool from blockage.
4. Place the pwer switch in the forward position and continue cleaning the drain.
2. Pull the cable loose from the blockage. if the tool will not come free, place the power switch in reverse
position.
