protective equipment always includes ANSI-  
approved safety glasses and heavy-duty work  
gloves, and may include equipment such as latex  
or rubber gloves, face shields, goggles, protective  
clothing, respirators and steel toed footwear.  
9. Keep gloved hand on the cable whenever the  
machine is running. This provides better control  
of the cable and helps prevent twisting, kinking and  
breaking of the cable. Twisting, kinking or breaking  
cable may cause striking or crushing injuries  
10. Before each use, check all nuts, bolts,  
and screws for tightness. Vibration during  
operation may cause these to loosen.  
20. Wash hands after use. Use hot, soapy water  
to wash hands and other exposed body parts  
exposed to drain contents after handling or  
using drain cleaning equipment. Do not eat  
or smoke while operating or handling drain  
cleaning equipment. This will help prevent  
contamination with toxic or infectious material.

Grounding  
TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK AND DEATH FROM INCORRECT GROUNDING  
WIRE CONNECTION:  
Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded.  
Do not modify the power cord plug provided with the tool. Never remove the grounding prong from  
the plug. Do not use the tool if the power cord or plug is damaged. If damaged, have it repaired by a service  
facility before use. If the plug will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.  
Grounded Tools: Tools with Three Prong Plugs  
2. The grounding prong in the plug is connected through  
the green wire inside the cord to the grounding  
system in the tool. The green wire in the cord must  
be the only wire connected to the tool’s grounding  
system and must never be attached to an electrically  
“live” terminal. (See 3-Prong Plug and Outlet.)  
3. The tool must be plugged into an appropriate outlet,  
properly installed and grounded in accordance with  
all codes and ordinances. The plug and outlet should  
look like those in the preceding illustration.  
3-Prong Plug and Outlet  
(See 3-Prong Plug and Outlet.)  
1. Tools marked with “Grounding Required” have a three  
wire cord and three prong grounding plug. The plug  
must be connected to a properly grounded outlet.  
If the tool should electrically malfunction or break  
down, grounding provides a low resistance path to  
carry electricity away from the user, reducing the risk  
of electric shock. (See 3-Prong Plug and Outlet.)  
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI)  
Your machine is equipped with a ground fault circuit  
interrupter (GFCI), which protects you against shock if a  
short circuit should occur. Check that the receptacle is  
properly grounded and test the GFCI before each use.  
3. WARNING! If the light does not go out when  
test button is pushed, equipment should not  
be used until proper repairs can be made.  
4. To restore power after test, push the reset button.  
WARNING! If the machine doesn’t start,  
1. Plug the GFCI Power Plug into a  
grounded, 120 VAC electrical outlet.  
stops while running, or if you experience a  
mild shock, do not use the machine. Have it  
repaired or replaced by a licensed electrician.  
2. Press the TEST button. The GFCI indicator light will  
go out and power to the machine should cut off.  
Note: The Power Cord is not GFCI protected from the  
GFCI unit to the 3-prong plug in the electrical outlet.

a two or three wire extension cord.  
2. As the distance from the supply outlet increases,  
you must use a heavier gauge extension cord.  
Using extension cords with inadequately sized  
wire causes a serious drop in voltage, resulting  
in loss of power and possible tool damage.  
(See Table A on page 7.)

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.

Operating Instructions  
Read the ENTIRE IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION section at the beginning of this  
manual including all text under subheadings therein before set up or use of this product.  
Tool Set Up  
TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY FROM ACCIDENTAL OPERATION:  
Turn the Rotation Switch of the tool to its “OFF” position and unplug the tool from its  
electrical outlet before assembling or making any adjustments to the tool.  
TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY:  
DO NOT OPERATE WITH ANY GUARD DISABLED, DAMAGED, OR REMOVED.  
Wear ANSI-approved safety goggles, heavy-duty LEATHER workgloves, and other appropriate  
protective equipment when setting up your Drain Cleaner. For extra protection from chemicals and  
bacteria on the machine and in the work area, we recommend wearing latex, rubber or other liquid  
barrier gloves under the heavy-duty work gloves. Before use, inspect gloves to be sure they are free  
of defects or loose sections that could be caught in the Drain Cleaner. Rubber soled, non-slip shoes can help  
prevent slipping and electric shock, especially on wet surfaces.  
TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY FROM ELECTRIC SHOCK, TWISTED/BROKEN CABLES, CHEMICAL BURNS,  
INFECTIONS AND OTHER CAUSES AND PREVENT DRAIN CLEANER DAMAGE:  
Before each use, inspect Drain Cleaner and correct any problems.  
1. Once the Drain Cleaner is assembled, check  
the device and cutters for any signs of wear and  
damage. If necessary, replace worn or damaged  
parts prior to using the drain cleaning machine.  
Dull or damaged cutting tools can lead to binding,  
cable breakage, and slow the drain cleaning.  
3. Clean any oil, grease or dirt from all equipment  
handles and controls. This helps prevent the  
machine or control from slipping during use.  
4. Verify Foot Switch is attached to Drain Cleaner.  
5. Verify Drain Cleaner is properly assembled.  
Inspect the machine for broken, worn, missing,  
misaligned or binding parts or any other condition  
which may prevent safe and normal operation.  
2. Verify Drain Cleaner is unplugged and inspect  
the power cord, Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter  
(GFCI) and plug for damage. If the plug has  
been modified, is missing the grounding prong  
or if the cord is damaged, to avoid electrical  
shock, do not use the machine until the cord  
has been replaced by a qualified electrician.  
6. Make sure that switches and handles move  
smoothly between positions and lock in place,  
and that the bumpers at the bottom of the  
handle are present and firmly attached.

7. Rotate the drum and make sure that  
it turns freely without binding.  
14. Before use, fully retract the cable with no  
more than 2″ of cable outside of the machine.  
This will the keep the cable from “whipping”  
when the machine is turned on.  
8. Check that all warning labels are present,  
firmly attached and readable.  
15. Set the Rotation Switch to the OFF position.  
9. Make sure Belt Guard is securely  
fastened to the Drain Cleaner.  
16. With dry hands, plug cord into properly  
grounded outlet and move the Rotation Switch  
into the Forward position.  
10. Check the cable for any wear and damage.  
If any section of the cable is worn or  
flattened, replace cable before use.  
17. Move Feed Lever to exactly between  
F and R settings, otherwise cable will start  
moving in or out during this test.  
11. Verify cable does not have multiple or excessive  
kinks (greater than 15°). Kinks weaken the cable  
and can cause cable failure. Replace any cables  
that have multiple or excessively large kinks.  
18. Press the Foot Switch and note the direction  
of rotation of the drum. If the Foot Switch  
does not control the Drain Cleaner’s  
operation, do not use the machine until  
the Foot Switch has been repaired.  
12. Look for spaces between the cable coils.  
Kinking, stretching (pulling cable by hand) or running  
the cable in reverse can deform the cable. Cables  
with spaces between the coils should be replaced.  
19. The drum should rotate clockwise when seen  
from the front of the drum. It will match the drum  
direction shown on the warning label and the  
13. Check for signs of excessive corrosion.  
Corrosion weakens the cable, making it brittle.  
This can be caused by storing the cable wet  
or using the cable with corrosive chemicals  
(often found in chemical clog removers).  
Excessively corroded cable should be replaced.  
arrow on the drum. If the rotation is not correct,  
do not use the machine until it has been repaired.  
20. After inspection, set the Rotation Switch to OFF,  
dry off your hands, and unplug the Drain Cleaner.  
21. Once you’ve verified that the Drain Cleaner  
is in good working order, inspect the work  
area where you will be using the machine.

Work Area Set-Up  
1. Verify that work area has adequate lighting for the job. 12. Set the Drain Cleaner so that the drum  
opening is within 2 feet of the drain access.  
2. Make sure work area is free of flammable liquids,  
The greater the distance from the drain access,  
the higher the risk of the cable twisting or kinking.  
vapors or dust that may ignite. Sparks can be  
generated during Drain Cleaner operation.  
Do not work in area until these sources of  
ignition have been identified and corrected.  
13. 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.  
3. Choose a firm, stable location for the machine  
and operator that will remain relatively dry.  
Do not use the machine while standing in water.  
If needed, remove the water from the work area.  
4. Verify the electrical outlet is properly grounded.  
A three-prong or GFCI outlet may not be  
properly grounded. If in doubt, have outlet  
inspected by a licensed electrician.  
14. If needed, set up barriers to keep  
bystanders away from the Drain Cleaner  
and work area during operation.  
15. Select proper cutting tool.  
5. Make sure there is a clear, unobstructed path  
from the Drain Cleaner to the electrical outlet.  
(See Cutting Tool Accessories on page 9).  
16. 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.  
6. Inspect the drain to be cleaned. If possible, determine  
the best access point(s) to the drain, the size(s)  
and length(s) of the drain, distance to tanks or  
mainlines, the nature of the blockage, presence of  
drain cleaning chemicals or other chemicals, etc.  
17. 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.  
7. If there are chemicals present in the drain, read  
and adhere to the specific safety measures  
required to work around those chemicals.  
Contact the chemical manufacturer for required  
safety instructions and information.  
18. Confirm that the Rotation Switch  
is in the OFF position.  
19. Run the cord along the clear path. With dry hands,  
plug the Drain Cleaner into a properly grounded  
outlet. Keep all connections dry and off the ground.  
8. If necessary, remove fixture (toilet, sink, etc.) to  
allow access to the drain. Do not feed the cable  
through a fixture. This could damage  
20. 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 accidentally getting wet.  
the Drain Cleaner and the fixture.  
9. Determine the correct drain cleaning  
cable size for the drain cleaning job.  
See Cable/Pipe Size chart below.  
21. Also verify that the extension cord is rated  
for outdoor use and contains a W or W-A  
in the cord designation (i.e. SOW).

Manual Feed Operation (For Item 68285)  
TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY FROM TWISTED OR BROKEN CABLES, CABLE ENDS WHIPPING AROUND,  
MACHINE TIPPING, CHEMICAL BURNS, INFECTIONS, ELECTRIC SHOCK AND OTHER CAUSES:  
Follow operating instructions for your model explicitly.  
Since drains likely contain hazardous chemicals or bacteria, wear appropriate protective equipment, such as:  
ANSI-approved splash-resistant safety goggles and respirator under face shield.  
Latex, rubber or other liquid barrier gloves under heavy-duty LEATHER work gloves.  
Do not use a glove you are not currently wearing or a rag to hold the rotating cable. Cloth materials  
can tangle in the rotating cable, leading to serious personal injury. Before use, inspect gloves  
to be sure they are free of defects or loose sections that could get caught in Drain Cleaner.  
Rubber soled, non-slip shoes to help prevent slipping and electric shock.  
1. Position the Drain Cleaner two feet from the drain.  
6. As you feed cable, you may feel and see cable slow  
down and/or start to wind or load up (a “twisting” or  
“squirming” motion). This may indicate a change  
in drain line (such as a drain trap, elbow, etc.),  
a build up in the drain (mud or grease), or the  
actual blockage. Continue to slowly feed the  
cable until the cable reaches the blockage.  
2. Position the Drain Cleaner so that you can  
operate Foot Switch while having one hand on  
cable at all times. This will keep cable from  
hazardously “whipping” when activating the  
Drain Cleaner. Also, make sure Rotation Switch  
on top of Drain Cleaner is within reach.  
WARNING! Do not allow cable to build up  
outside drain. This can cause cable to  
twist, kink or break. When working with larger  
sewers or septic tanks, minimize the amount of  
cable fed to prevent kinking and knotting of cable.  
WARNING! Only one person should feed cable  
and operate Foot Switch. Do not operate  
Drain Cleaner with one person controlling cable  
and another person controlling Foot Switch.  
This can cause cable to kink, twist, or break,  
which can also lead to serious personal injury.  
7. If the cable becomes lodged in a narrow part of  
the drain or in a drain trap, allow the cable to try  
and work itself past the obstruction. If cable still  
won’t pass obstruction, release pressure from  
the Foot Switch and use sharp downward thrusts  
to try and pass obstruction. Once cable is past,  
press the Foot Switch and continue feeding.  
3. Make sure Rotation Switch is in Forward position.  
4. With the Drain Cleaner off, pull the cable out  
of drum and feed into the drain. Gradually  
work the cable as far into the drain as it will go.  
5. Step on the Foot Switch and continue  
feeding cable into the drain.  
NOTICE  
Rotation Switch controls rotation of drum only. DO NOT USE ROTATION SWITCH  
REVERSE POSITION WHILE REMOVING CABLE FROM PIPE. Use reverse direction  
only momentarily for relieving pressure or untangling cable from a blockage.  
Warranty void if cable damaged from allowing motor to twist excessively against blockage,  
or if drum is run in reverse long enough to unwind cable.

Working Through a Blockage  
1. If cutting tool becomes lodged in blockage and  
Drain Cleaner is still operating, the cable will start  
to wind up or twist. If so, immediately turn off,  
let tension release, and then pull back on cable  
to free cutting tool from the drain blockage.  
2. Once tool is free of blockage and is turning again,  
slowly feed rotating cutting tool back into blockage.  
Do not force tool through blockage.  
3. Allow the spinning and cutting to break up  
and work its way through the blockage.  
If cable cannot be freed by pulling back, briefly  
turn the motor on in REV setting to free the tool.  
CAUTION: While working through the blockage, the  
tool and cable can get clogged with debris and cuttings  
from blockage, preventing further cleaning. The cable  
and tool will then need to be retrieved from drain and the  
debris removed. See “Retrieving the Cable” section.  
WARNING! Do not keep cable rotating  
if tool is lodged in a blockage.  
If tool stops turning and drum keeps rotating,  
cable can twist, kink, break, or tangle in the drain.  
If Cutting Tool Lodges in Drain:  
1. If cutting tool stops turning and cable cannot  
be pulled from blockage, release Foot Switch  
while holding cable with both hands.  
2. The Drain Cleaner motor will stop and  
cable and drum will turn backwards  
until tension in cable is released.  
WARNING! Do not remove hands from cable  
or cable may kink, twist and break.  
WARNING! Do not remove hands from  
cable until all the tension is released.  
3. Place Rotation Switch in OFF position.  
Freeing Lodged Cutting Tool  
1. Release Foot Switch and turn the  
Rotation Switch to OFF position.  
WARNING! Do not operate Drain Cleaner  
in Reverse for any longer than is needed  
to free the cutting tool from blockage  
(for no more than several seconds at a time).  
2. Pull back on the cable to free it from the blockage.  
If the tool will not come free,  
place the Rotation Switch in Reverse position.  
4. Hold the cable with both gloved hands, press the  
Foot Switch for several seconds, then release, and  
pull on the cable until it is free of the blockage.  
3.  
5. Place the Rotation Switch in the Forward  
position and continue cleaning the drain.  
Retrieving Drain Cleaner Cable  
1. Once the drain is clear, turn on the faucet  
or use a hose to flush the debris out.  
2. Pull the cable from the drain by hand and  
feed into the Drain Cleaner until the cable  
is a couple of feet from the drain opening.  
A flow of water down the line will help to clean  
the cable as it is retrieved. (If necessary, change  
the cutting tool and continue cleaning.)  
NOTE: Pay attention to the water level.  
There could be blockages farther down in the drain.  
WARNING! Do not pull cable from  
drain while cable is still rotating. Cable end  
can whip around, causing serious injury.  
3. Set the Rotation Switch to the OFF position, dry your  
hands, and unplug the machine before removing  
end of cable from drain and returning it to the drum.  
NOTICE  
Rotation Switch controls rotation of drum only. DO NOT USE ROTATION SWITCH  
REVERSE POSITION WHILE REMOVING CABLE FROM PIPE. Use reverse direction  
only momentarily for relieving pressure or untangling cable from a blockage.  
Warranty void if cable damaged from allowing motor to twist excessively against blockage,  
or if drum is run in reverse long enough to unwind cable.
