GENERAL SAFETY
Important
• Replacement parts:
When servicing, use only
identical replacement
parts.
• Polarized plugs: To
reduce risk of electric
shock, this equipment
has a polarized plug (one
blade is wider than the
other). This plug will t in
a polarized outlet one way.
If the plug does not t fully
in the outlet, reverse the
plug. If it still does not t,
contact a qualied
electrician to install the
proper outlet. Do not alter
or modify the plug in any
way.
WORK AREA
• Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas
invite accidents.
• Do not operate power drum machine in explosive atmospheres, such as in
the presence of ammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
• Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating this cable
drum machine. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
ELECTRIC SAFETY
• Grounded tools must be plugged into an outlet properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all codes and ordinances. Never modify the tool’s
polarized plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs. Check with a qualied
electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded.
Failure to follow this instruction could result in a shock hazard, which could lead
to death or serious personal injury.
• Double insulated tools (like this one) are equipped with a polarized plug
(one blade is wider than the other). This plug will t in a polarized outlet only
one way. If the plug does not t fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still
does not t, contact a qualied electrician to install a polarized outlet. Do
not change the plug in any way. Double insulation eliminates the need for
a three wire grounded power cord and grounded power supply system.
(applicable only to Class II tools).
• Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators,
ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if
your body is grounded.
• Don’t expose this cable drum machine to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the cable drum machine
or pull the plug from an outlet. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges
or moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords
increase the risk of electric shock.
• When operating this cable drum machine outside, use an outdoor extension
cord marked “W-A” or “W.” These cords are rated for outdoor use to reduce
the risk of electric shock.
PERSONAL SAFETY
• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when
operating this cable drum machine. Do not use this cable drum machine
while tired or under the inuence of drugs, alcohol, or medication.
A moment of inattention while operating power to this cable drum machine
may result in serious personal injury.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair.
Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes,
jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
• Wear snug tting leather gloves when operating this machine. Do not use
cloth or fabric gloves as these can get caught in the coils of the cable while
the drum is rotating.
• Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is off before plugging in. Carrying
this cable drum machine with your nger on the switch or plugging in tools
that have the switch in the “on” position invites accidents.
• Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning on this cable drum
machine. A wrench or a key that is left attached to a rotating part of this
cable drum machine may result in personal injury.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper

footing and balance enables better control of this cable drum machine in
unexpected situations.
• Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, non skid safety
shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions.
CABLE DRUM MACHINE USE AND CARE
• Use clamps or other practical way to secure and support the work piece to a
stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body is unstable
and may lead to loss of control.
• Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The correct tool
will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed.
• Do not use this cable drum machine if the switch does not turn it on or off.
Any cable drum machine that cannot be controlled with the switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.
• Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing the cable drum machine. Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of starting the cable drum machine
accidentally.
• Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons.
Cable drum machines are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
• Maintain the cable drum machine with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and
clean. Properly maintained tools, with sharp cutting edges are less likely to
bind and are easier to control.
• Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts,
and any other condition that may affect the cable drum machine’s
operation. If damaged, have the cable drum machine serviced before using.
Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.
• Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your
model. Accessories that may be suitable for one cable drum machine may
become hazardous when used on another cable drum machine.
SERVICE
• Cable drum machine service must be performed only by qualied repair
personnel. Service or maintenance performed by unqualied personnel
could result in a risk of injury.
• When servicing this cable drum machine, use only identical replacement
parts. Follow instructions in this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure
to follow Maintenance Instructions may create a risk of electric shock or injury.

OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT: Read and be sure you understand the safety instructions for this
machine before operating it. DO NOT operate this cable drum machine if there is
any doubt in your mind as to how to use it safely or correctly.
1. For best results, position the cable drum machine within 2 feet of the drain.
2. Loosen the keyless chuck, pull a couple feet of cable out of the drum and begin to
feed cable into the drain. Continue feeding cable until you reach the clog.
3. Plug the power cable into the electrical socket.
4. Switch the drill direction to forward (FOR) and fully depress the trigger.
The cable will begin to turn. Keep one hand on cable when it is rotating.
Run for approximately 30 seconds and release trigger.
5. Loosen keyless chuck and try to feed additional cable into the drain. Tighten the
keyless chuck, depress trigger and run for another 30 seconds and
release trigger.
6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 until the obstruction has been cleared.
7. Unplug power cable from electrical socket; remove the remaining cable from
the inlet. The line should be washed thoroughly with a hose or power washer.
8. Hand feed the cable back into the drum. Finally, tighten the chuck (hand tight).
WARNING: Do not allow the cable to get hung up on the obstruction. If the cable
end gets hung up on an obstruction, stop the motor and reverse (REV) the drill until
the cable becomes free. (This is the only time the drum should be run in reverse!)
Once free from the obstruction, turn motor to the forward (FOR) position and resume
clearance operation.
WARNING: Do not allow cables to become “overstressed.” Overstressing cables
due to a stubborn obstruction or snag will create tension in the cable leading to
cable damage or an unpredictable cable reaction. If the cable becomes overstressed,
follow the same procedure as advised in the rst "WARNING”
WARNING: Never remove the cable from the inlet while it is rotating.
NOTE: Flush the cable with clean water as it is being retrieved from the inlet and
again before putting it away.
Reverse Operation
Running this cable drum machine in reverse should only be done if the cable
becomes blocked and only for a few seconds - enough to free the end of the cable.
If the cable gets caught on an obstruction, immediately release the trigger to allow
the machine to come to a complete stop. Loosen the chuck and turn the drill switch
to the (REV) position. Grasp the cable with a gloved hand and pull it while jogging
the trigger. When the cable is dislodged, place the drill switch in the forward (FOR)
position, tighten the chuck, and follow normal operating procedure.
Lubrication
Grease all exposed and moving parts after each use.
Storage
The cable drum machine must be kept in a dry, safe place, out of the reach of children.
