Worn cable.
Solution
Do not force the cable. Let the cutter do the work.
Allow no more than two feet between machine and drain.
A cable that is too large or too small in diameter for a line
is more likely to kink. (Consult Table 1—Cable Applica-
tions.)
Clean and oil cables regularly.
Do not force the cable. Let the cutter do the work.
Do not run the machine in reverse to retract the cable
from the drain.
Replace as required.
If no hole found in pedal or hose, replace diaphragm
switch.
Replace reverse switch. Note: Momentary contact switch
must be held in position when using reverse.
Replace cords.
Take motor to authorized repair center.
Replace ground fault circuit interrupter.
Do not force cable.
Do not run machine in reverse. Use proper cable size.
(Consult Cable Application Chart—Table 1).
If feed tension knob is too loose the cable will slip. If it is
too tight the feed rollers will wear prematurely.
Clean and lubricate feed rollers regularly. Replace worn
rollers.
When cable coils wear flat, cable should be replaced.
