NOTI E
If properly used it will not damage a drain that is
in good condition and properly designed, con-
structed and maintained. If the drain is in poor
condition, or has not been properly designed,
constructed and maintained, the drain clean-
ing process may not be effective or could cause
damage to the drain. The best way to deter-
mine the condition of a drain before cleaning is
through visual inspection with a camera. Im -
proper use of this drain cleaner can damage the
drain cleaner and the drain. This machine may
not clear all blockages.

Pre-Operation Inspection

Before each use, inspect your drain

causes and prevent drain cleaner dam-
age.
1. Clean any oil, grease or dirt from all
equipment, including handles and con-
trols. This aids inspection and helps pre-
vent the machine or control from slipping
from your grip. Clean any debris from
the cable and drum.
2. Inspect the drain cleaner for the following
items:
• Proper assembly and completeness.
• Broken, worn, missing, misaligned or
binding parts.
• Smooth and free movement of the trig-
ger and drum.
• Presence and readability of the warn-
®
ing label (see Figure 2.)
• Any condition which may prevent safe
and normal operation.
If any problems are found, do not use
the drain cleaner until the problems have
been repaired.
3. Clean any debris from the cable. Inspect
cable for wear and damage – Look for:
• Obvious flats worn into the outside of
the cable (cable is made from round
wire and profile should be round).
• Multiple or excessively large kinks (slight
kinks up to 15 degrees can be straight-
ened).
• Space between the cables indicating
the cable has been deformed by stretch -
ing, kinking or run in REVERSE.
• Excessive corrosion from storing wet
or exposure to drain chemicals.
All of these forms of wear and damage
weaken the cable and make cable twist-
ing, kinking or breaking more likely during
use. Replace worn and damaged cable
before using drain cleaner.
4. If using the POWER SPIN + Drain Cleaner
with a Battery Powered Drill, inspect the
drill per its instructions. Make sure that
the drill is in good operating condition
and the switch controls the drill opera-
tion. Confirm that the drill turns at less
than 500 rpm.
