Pull the pipe cleaning spiral about 300 mm out of the spiral drum (10), tighten
the chuck (5) by hand. Always start the electric drill screwdriver at low speed
in right right hand rotation and increase the speed as required. Only insert the
pipe cleaning spiral into the pipe to an extent that the chuck (5) can still be
operated by hand. Switch off the electric drill/screwdriver. Open the chuck (5)
and pull the pipe cleaning spiral about 300 mm back out of the spiral drum (10).
Repeat the process until you can feel a resistance or the blockage is cleared.
Keep a maximum distance of 200 mm between the end of the pipe/drain and
the chuck (5) otherwise the pipe cleaning spiral can loop. Always pull back the
pipe cleaning spiral by hand and push it back into the spiral drum. Only use
anticlockwise rotation of the electric drill/screwdriver if the pipe cleaning spiral
is jammed in the pipe. Switch the electric drill/screwdriver carefully between
clockwise and anticlockwise rotation to remedy this.
4. Maintenance
Notwithstanding the maintenance described below, it is recommended to send
in the electric pipe cleaning machine to an authorised REMS contract customer
