The RIDGID K9-306 FlexShaft™ Drain Cleaning Machine is a robust and versatile tool designed for cleaning and descaling drain lines and pipes. It is engineered for professional use in plumbing and drain maintenance, offering a blend of power, flexibility, and safety features.
The K9-306 FlexShaft Drain Cleaning Machine is primarily used to clear blockages and descale the internal walls of pipes. It operates by rotating a chain knocker at high speeds (up to 2000 RPM) within the drain. The cable assembly, which includes the chain knocker, is manually fed into and out of the drain. The machine utilizes a low-torque, high-speed approach, allowing the chain knocker to effectively break up blockages and clean pipe walls without excessive force. This method is particularly suitable for use with inspection cameras, enabling operators to monitor the cleaning process in real-time. The machine is designed to be user-friendly, with controls for cable rotation (REV/O-OFF/FOR switch) and motor activation (pneumatic foot switch). An integrated Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) in the line cord enhances electrical safety. The machine's design emphasizes control and safety, requiring the operator to maintain a hand on the cable assembly while it is running and to position the machine close to the drain inlet to prevent cable twisting or kinking.
