OPERATION

Before stepping on the foot pedal, place the guide tube and cable

into the drain opening.

Tighten the knob at top of the Power Cable Feed so that the feed

roller presses against the cable. Be sure not to over tighten since

this could cause excess cable wear.

The feed lever controls the feeding rate and direction of the ca-

ble. Move the lever down to feed cable out of drum. The further

the lever is moved downward, the faster the cable will feed out.

Raised Cap

Move lever up to retract cable into drum. When the lever is in the

middle (neutral) position, cable will spin in place.

Move the motor switch to the forward position.

With a gloved hand on the Guide Tube, step on the air foot pedal

to start machine. Feed the cable into the line. Adjust the feeding

rate to the resistance met. Do not force the cable - let the cutter

do the work. The job won't go any faster and you could damage

the cable and you could injure yourself.

If the cable starts to buckle or twist, release pressure on the foot

pedal. Move the feed lever up and step on the foot pedal to re-

tract excess cable back into the drum, then continue.

If you're having trouble getting around tight bends, try putting the

machine in reverse for several seconds while applying steady

pressure. If your machine is equipped with a momentary contact

reverse switch, you must hold the switch in the reverse position.

If you still cannot get the cable getting around a bend, you may

be using too large a cable. Switch to a 5/8" cable, or smaller

machine. (See Cable Application Chart—Table 1)

When the cable reaches the stoppage, move the feed lever to-

ward neutral to allow the cable to progress forward slowly, chew-

ing into the stoppage as it goes. This slow forward movement will

reduce stress on the cable while doing a more thorough cleaning

job. A back and forth action often works best.

Hint: It's often helpful to have a small stream of water running in

the line to wash the cuttings away while the machine is in operation

and after.

10. Be careful not to let the cutter get caught in the stoppage as you

work through it. This can cause kinking and breaking of the ca-

ble. When you feel the cable starting to twist, stop the machine

and retract the cable. This will free the cutter from the obstruc-

tion. Then allow the cable to move forward slowly into the stop-

page. Remember, no cutting takes place when the blades stop

turning.

11. After the line has been opened, retract the cable by moving the

feed lever up. Make sure the motor switch is in the forward posi-

tion.

12. When you hear the end of the cable near the drain opening, take

your foot off of the pedal to stop drum rotation. Never retract the

cutter from the drain while the cable is rotating. The cable could

whip and cause serious injury. Do not retract cutter into the guide

tube.

DO NOT USE REVERSE TO PULL THE CABLE OUT

OF THE DRAIN. RUNNING MACHINE IN REVERSE

CAN CAUSE THE CABLE TO TANGLE IN THE DRUM.

SPECIAL OPERATIONS

IF CABLE GETS CAUGHT IN LINE

The motor can be reversed for a few seconds at a time to free the

cable if it gets caught in line. (Note: if using Power Cable Feed, put-

ting motor in reverse will cause the feed control lever to operate oppo-

site of normal.)

Hold momentary contact motor switch in the reverse position.

Step on the foot pedal while pulling on the cable.

After cable is loose, move the motor switch back into forward

position.

DO NOT RUN MOTOR IN REVERSE FOR MORE THAN A

FEW SECONDS AT A TIME SINCE THIS COULD CAUSE

THE CABLE TO KINK OR TANGLE IN THE DRUM.

IF CABLE TANGLES IN DRUM

This is caused by using too much pressure, running the machine in

reverse, or a poorly lubricated or frozen roller in the feed. To untangle

the cable, rotate the drum in opposite direction (See Feed Mainte-

nance). This will usually get the cable to lie in the drum properly.

If the cable has become badly tangled, which shouldn't occur if used

properly, it may be necessary to pull the entire cable out of the drum

and reinstall it. (See "How to Install Cable" section.)

HOW TO INSTALL CABLE IN DRUM

DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER SOURCE

BEFORE INSTALLING CABLE IN DRUM!

Connect the male end of the cable to the drum connecting cable

already attached to the drum.
