ENGLISH
MAINTENANCE
Your power tool has been designed to operate over a long
period of time with a minimum of maintenance. Continuous
satisfactory operation depends upon proper tool care and
regularcleaning.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, turn tool off and disconnect battery pack
before making any adjustments or removing/
installing attachments or accessories. An accidental
start‑up can causeinjury.
The charger and battery pack are notserviceable.
4. After the tool has come to a complete stop, switch back to
the forwardposition.

CAUTION: Running the tool in reverse for extended
periods can cause damage to the cable and accessories.
Only operate in reverse to remove the cable from
anobstruction.
Removing Cable From Drain
1. Set the front handle to the unlockedposition.
2. Set the forward/reverse switch to the forwardposition.
3. Pull the trigger slightly and pull the tool back to remove
about 15cm of cable from thedrain.
4. Release the trigger and lock the forward/reverse button in
the centreposition.
5. Wipe the exposed cable with a rag and feed it back into
thetool.
6. Repeat steps 1–5 until the cable is near the drain opening.
Then feed the remaining cable back into the drum byhand.

WARNING: Never retract the cutter from the drain
opening while the cable is rotating. The cable could
whip and cause seriousinjury.
NOTE: Before storing the tool, wash the cable and drum (refer
toCleaning).
Hint: It's useful to have a stream of water running through the
line to wash fragments away while the machine is in operation
andafter. Avoid getting the motor, handle and batterywet.
7. When the cable nears the drain opening, take your finger off
of the trigger switch to stop cablerotation.

out into the unlockposition.
5. Pull at least 46cm of the cable from the tool. Insert at least
30cm of cable into the drain, leaving no more than 15cm of
the cableexposed.

WARNING: Do not operate if more than 15cm of cable
is exposed. Greater distance can cause twisting, kinking,
breaking or whipping of thecable.

WARNING: Always wear leather work gloves with
latex gloves inside when operating the draincleaner.

WARNING: If the cable is blocked either by the blockage
or the pipe so that the cable will not rotate, refer to the To
Unbind Drain Cleanersection.

WARNING: If the cable is stopped from rotating due to a
blockage or the pipe, release the triggerimmediately.

WARNING: Only operate in reverse to remove the
cable from anobstruction.
6. Continue to feed the cable out by hand into the pipe until it
becomesdifficult.
7. As feeding the cable becomes more difficult, move the
front handle back to lock the cable with only 15cm of
cable exposed. With hands clear of the cable, pull the
trigger to begin rotating the cable, and move the drain
cleaner towards the drain opening to push the cable down
thedrain.
8. Release the trigger, move the front handle forward to unlock
the cable, grip the cable with your gloved hand to prevent it
from pulling out of the drain and pull the drain cleaner back
so that no more than 15cm of cable isexposed.
NOTE: The cable is not attached to the inner drum. Use care
when feeding out the last 1.5 m to 2.13 m of the cable, to
ensure that it does not come out of themachine.
9. Repeat the steps 6–8 to continue advancing thecable.
