Set-Up
WARNING
Set up the drain cleaning machine and
work area according to these proce-
dures to reduce the risk of injury from
electric shock, twisted or broken ca-
bles, chemical burns, infections and
other causes, and prevent drain cleaner
damage.
1. Check for an appropriate work area. Op -
erate in a clear level, stable, dry location
free. Do not use the machine while stand-
ing in water.
2. Inspect the drain to be cleaned. If possi-
ble, determine the access point(s) to the
drain, the size(s) and length(s) of the
drain, distance to mainlines, the nature of
the blockage, presence of drain clean-
ing chemicals or other chemicals, etc. If
chemicals are present in the drain, it is
important to understand the specific
safety measures required to work around
those chemicals. Contact the chemical
manufacturer for required information.
3. Confirm POWER SPIN + Drain Cleaner is
appropriate for the job (See Specifica-
tions). Using incorrect equipment for an
application can cause injury or damage
the tool.
4. Make sure machine has been properly in-
spected.
5. If needed, place protective covers in the
work area. The drain cleaning process
can be messy.
6. If using the POWER SPIN + by hand,
make sure that the crank is present and
firmly attached.
7 . If using the POWER SPIN + with a battery
powered drill, remove the crank from the
back of the drum by pressing the tabs on
the either side (See Figure 2). Securely
attach the chuck of the drill to the drum

8. If needed, take appropriate steps to ac-
cess the drain to be cleaned.
• For many drains, the cable can be
threaded through the cross hairs in
the drain (See Figure 3).
• For a sink with a pop up drain plug:
Remove lift rod and drain plug (See
Figure 4). Be sure to place a container
under the clean out or trap to catch
any water that may come out.
• For other sinks a clean out plug or
trap may need to be removed (See
Figure 5.) Be sure to place a container
under the clean out or trap to catch
any water that may come out.
• For bathtubs, never try to go through
the drain, this will damage the cable.
Remove the overflow plate and any
mechanism to access the drain (See
Figure 6).
