This machine is made to clean
drains. If properly used it will not damage a
drain that is in good condition and properly
designed, constructed and maintained. If the
drain is in poor condition, or has not been
properly designed, constructed and main-
tained, the drain cleaning process may not
be eective or could cause damage to the
drain. The best way to determine the condi-
tion of a drain before cleaning is through vi-
sual inspection with a camera. Improper use
of this drain cleaner can damage the drain
cleaner and the drain. This machine may not
clear all blockages.

WARNING
Before each use, inspect your drain clean-
ing machine and correct any problems to
reduce the risk of serious injury from elec-
tric shock, twisted or broken cables, chemi-
cal burns, infections and other causes and
prevent drain cleaner damage.
1. Clean any oil, grease or dirt from all
equipment, including handles and con-
trols. This aids inspection and helps
prevent the machine or control from
slipping from your grip. Clean any debris
from the cable and drum.
2. Inspect the drain cleaner for the follow-
ing items:

or exposure to drain chemicals.
All of these forms of wear and damage
weaken the cable and make cable twist-
ing, kinking or breaking more likely dur-
ing use. Replace worn and damaged
cable before using drain cleaner.
4. If using the Power-Spin Drain Cleaner
with a Battery Power Drill, inspect the
drill per it’s instructions. Make sure that
the drill is in good operating condition
and the switch controls the drill opera-
tion. Conrm that the drill turns at less
than 500 rpm.
