Always use the protective hose. The protective hose acts as a vibration-damping guide for the
spirals, as a dirt holder and guard, also as a safety element for the operating personnel and
prevents uncontrolled banging.
6.2 Fit 8 mm / 10 mm spirals
For small bore pipes and pipe bend used 8 mm or 10 mm spirals (optional accessories).
1 Pull the spirals approx. 30 cm out of the adapter magazine.
2 Push the adapter magazine into the machine from the rear and secure it.
To brake the adapter magazine pull the lever as far upwards as possible.
6.3 Fit tools
For first use to unfasten the plugging only use the drill with the smallest diameter and drill out
the plugging hole for the first time. If the plugging hose has been bored or is opened and liquid
begins to flow out, complete drilling out of the plugging hose with the largest possible adapted
drill. If the plugging is now released, flush out and where possible, clean the pipe wall using a
chain centrifuge drilling tool (where possible with water flowing through).
Depending on the type of blockage various tools may be secured to the standard spirals:
Straight drill: to establish the type of blockage.
Club drill: can be used for minor textile and cellulose blockages as a result of its flexibili-
ty. The club shape enables it to get into tight pipe bends.
Funnel drill: this is specifically used for textile and cellulose blockages. Its funnel-shape
design gives this tool a large action range and allows it to be used as a tool to return
spirals that have been trapped in the pipe.
Fork cutting head: to remove grease deposits or shred lumps and similar materials.
Shovel head drill: special bent tool for sludge or sand deposits.
To secure: push the tool into the coupling until it engages.
To remove: push the release wrench into the hole and slide the tool sideways out of the cou-
pling.
