7. As feeding the cable becomes more difficult, move the
front handle back to lock the cable with only 15 cm (6")
of cable exposed. With hands clear of the cable, pull the
trigger to begin rotating the cable, and move the drain
cleaner towards the drain opening to push the cable down
the drain.
8. Release the trigger, move the front handle forward to unlock
the cable, grip the cable with your gloved hand to prevent it
from pulling out of the drain and pull the drain cleaner back
so that no more than 15 cm (6") of cable is exposed.
nOTE: The cable is not attached to the inner drum. Use care
when feeding out the last 1.5 m to 2.13 m (5 to 7 feet) of the
cable, to ensure that it does not come out of the machine.
9. Repeat the steps 6–8 to continue advancing the cable.
To Unbind Drain Cleaner

WARNING: Be sure the cable has come to a complete stop
before setting to reverse position.
1. Set the front handle to the unlocked position and the
forward/reverse switch to the reverse position.
2. Withdraw the tool a few inches while in reverse to free
the cable.
3. Stop the tool.
4. After the tool has come to a complete stop, switch back to
the forward position.

CAUTION: Running the tool in reverse for extended
periods can cause damage to the cable and accessories.
Only operate in reverse to remove the cable from an
obstruction.
Removing Cable From Drain
1. Set the front handle to the unlocked position.
2. Set the forward/reverse switch to the forward position.
3. Pull the trigger slightly and pull the tool back to remove
about 15 cm (6") of cable from the drain.
4. Release the trigger and lock the forward/reverse button in
the centre position.
5. Wipe the exposed cable with a rag and feed it back into
the tool.
6. Repeat steps 1–5 until the cable is near the drain opening.
Then feed the remaining cable back into the drum by hand.

WARNING: Never retract the cutter from the drain
opening while the cable is rotating. The cable could
whip and cause serious injury.
nOTE: Before storing the tool, wash the cable and drum (refer
to Cleaning).

line to wash fragments away while the machine is in operation
and after. Avoid getting the motor, handle and battery wet.
