opening. If not, the drain opening will
need to be extended using similar size
pipe and fittings so that the Power-Spin
can be placed within 4" (100 mm) of
the drain opening (See Fi gure 7) .
Improper cable support can allow the
cable to kink or twist and damage the
cable/fixture or injure the operator.

Operating Instructions

WARNING
Always wear eye protection to protect
your eyes against dirt and other foreign
objects.
When cleaning drains that might con-
tain hazardous chemicals or bacteria,
wear appropriate protective equipment,
such as goggles, face shields or respira-
tors, to prevent burns and infections.
For extra protection from chemicals and
bacteria on the machine and in the work
area, wear latex, rubber or other liquid
barrier gloves under the leather gloves.
Follow operating instructions to reduce
the risk of injury from twisted or bro-
ken cables, cable ends whipping around,
machine tipping, chemical burns, infec-
tions and other causes.
1. Make sure that the work area is free of
bystanders and other distractions.
2. Assume a proper operating position that
will allow
• Good balance and not require any
over reaching.

® Drain Cleaner
• Control of the drain cleaner (and drill if
used).
• Ability to maintain the unit 4" (100 mm)
or less from the drain opening.
This will help maintain control of the cable
and machine.
3. Pull cable out of the drum and push into
drain as far as it will go. At least one foot
of cable must be in the drain so that the
cable will not come out and whip around
when the cable starts turning.
4. If using a battery powered drill, confirm
set to low speed (less than 500 rpm)
and with dry hands insert the battery,
but do not place you finger on the drill
switch yet.
5. Make sure that the drain cleaner is within
4" (100 mm) of the drain opening, and
maintain that distance throughout the
cleaning process. This helps to prevent
twisting and kinking of the cable.
6. Place one hand on the drain cleaner han-
dle with one or two fingers on the trigger
and the other hand on the drill grip or
the crank.
7. Turn the drum clockwise (as marked with
an arrow on the back of the drum, see
Figure 2 ) If using the Power-Spin manu-
ally, use the crank (see Figure 8) . If using
a drill, operate it in the forward direction.
To feed the cable into the drain, squeeze
the trigger firmly.
