Set-Up

Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI)

The machine MUST be connected to a properly earthed 240VAC mains electrical socket. Do

NOT use the machine with a non-earthed electrical supply. Do NOT use the machine with an

extension cord that is not properly earthed. If there is any doubt regards proper earthing of

the electrical supply, have a qualified electrician inspect and verify it. • If the GFCI green indicator light does

not switch off when TEST is pushed, do not use the machine until it is properly tested and repaired. • If the

appliance does not start, or stops while running, or if you experience an electric shock, switch the machine

OFF and disconnect it from the electrical supply immediately. Do NOT use the machine until it is properly

tested and repaired. • The electrical cable is not protected by the GFCI device from the GFCI device to the

electrical cable plug.

The appliance is equipped with a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI),

which reduces the risk of electric shock. Check that the electrical mains

socket that the machine is connected to is properly grounded and test the

GFCI before each use. To test:

•Connect the machine into a grounded 240VAC electrical outlet and

switch the power ON.

•Press the TEST button on the GFCI – the green indicator light should

switch off and power to the appliance should cut off.

•To restore power after testing, push the RESET button.

If the GFCI is tripped due to an earth leakage situation, the power is cut to

the machine, the green indicator lamp switches off and the red warning

lamp illuminates. Switch the machine OFF and disconnect it from the

electrical supply immediately. Do NOT use the machine until it is properly tested and repaired.

Tool Set-Up

Place the motor switch in the "OFF" position and disconnect the machine from the electrical

supply before assembling or making any adjustments to the tool. • Do NOT operate the

equipment with the belt guard or any safety device removed. • Use appropriate personal protective

equipment while handling and using the equipment. Drains may contain chemicals, bacteria and other

substances that may be toxic, infectious, cause burns or other injury. Appropriate personal protective

equipment includes ANSI-approved safety glasses and heavy-duty LEATHER work gloves, and may include

equipment such as latex or rubber gloves, face shields, goggles, protective clothing, respirators and steel

cap non-slip footwear. • Before use, check for broken, worn, missing, misaligned or binding parts, cable wear

or damage, or any other condition which may prevent safe and normal operation and remedy them before

operating the machine..

•Check the appliance and cutting tools for wear or damage. If necessary, replace worn or damaged parts

before using the machine. Dull or damaged cutting tools can lead to binding, cable breakage, and slow

the drain cleaning.

•Test the GFCI.

•Clean any oil, grease or dirt from all equipment handles and controls. This helps prevent the appliance or

control from slipping during use.

•Verify that the foot switch is attached to machine and that all controls are functional.

•Rotate the cable drum by hand and make sure that it turns freely without binding.

•Check that all warning labels are present, firmly attached and readable.

•Verify that the cable does not have multiple or excessive kinks (greater than 15°). Kinks can cause cable

failure. Replace cables that have multiple or excessively large kinks.

•Look for spaces between the cable coils. Kinking, stretching (pulling cable by hand) or running the cable

in reverse can deform the it. Cables with spaces between the coils should be replaced.

•Check for signs of excessive corrosion of the cable, which weakens it. This can be caused by storing the

cable wet or corrosive chemicals (often found in drain cleaners). replace corroded cables.

•Before use, fully retract the cable so that no more than 50mm (2") of cable is protruding from the front

hub assembly. This will help prevent cable "whip" when the machine is turned on.

Perform a machine test:

1. Place the motor switch in the "OFF" position.

2. With dry hands, connect the machine to a grounded electrical supply, then place the motor switch in the

"FOR" position.

3. Press the foot switch and note the direction of rotation of the cable drum. If the foot switch does not

properly control machine operation, do not use the machine until the foot switch has been repaired. The

cable drum should rotate clockwise when viewed from the front of the machine and will match the

direction arrow on the drum. If the rotation is not correct, do not use the appliance until it has been

repaired.

4. After inspection, set the motor switch to the "OFF" position, then disconnect the machine from the

electrical supply.

Once you have verified that the machine is in good working order, inspect the work area.

Work Area Set-Up

•Verify that work area has adequate lighting.

•Make sure work area is free of flammable liquids, vapours or dust that may ignite. Sparks can be

generated during machine operation. Do not work in area until these sources of ignition have been

identified and corrected.

•Choose a firm, stable location for the machine and operator that will remain relatively dry. Do not use the

appliance while standing in water. If needed, remove water from the work area.

•Verify the electrical outlet is properly grounded. If there is any doubt regards proper earthing of the

electrical supply, have a qualified electrician inspect and verify it.

•Make sure there is a clear, unobstructed path from the machine to the electrical outlet.

•Inspect the drain to be cleaned. If possible, determine the best access point(s) to the drain, the size(s)

and length(s) of the drain, distance to tanks or mainlines, the nature of the blockage, presence of drain

cleaning chemicals or other chemicals, etc. If there are chemicals present in the drain, read and adhere

to the specific safety measures required to work around those chemicals. Contact the chemical

manufacturer for required safety instructions and information.

•If necessary, remove fixtures (toilet, sink, etc.) to allow access to the drain. Do not feed the cable

through a fixture. This could damage the machine and fixture.

•Determine the correct cable size for the drain, as per:

Cable Size Pipe Size Typical Applications

12mm ½”

(included) 50mm (2”) to 100mm (4”) Roof stacks and small floor drains (no roots)

10mm 3/8” (not

included) 38mm (1-1/2”) to 75mm (3”) Roof stacks, laundry lines and small drains (no roots)

•If needed, place protective covers over the work area floor.

•Make sure that the machine handle is locked into the upright position for transport. If the machine needs

to be lifted, use proper lifting techniques or seek assistance if needed. Use caution when moving

equipment up and down stairs. Wear appropriate footwear to help prevent slipping.

•To prevent cable whip, place the machine within 0.75m (2') of drain line or thread the cable through a

guide (not included). The greater the distance from the drain access, the higher the risk of cable whip,

twisting or kinking. If the machine cannot be placed close to the drain access, use appropriate-sized

pipes and fittings to extend the drain access back to the machine.

•If needed, set up barriers to keep bystanders away from the work area.

•Select the correct cutting tool. Install the cutting tool to the end of the cable. Slide the base of the cutting

tool into the slot at the end of the cable, then firmly fasten them with the attachment screw.

•Position the foot switch for easy accessibility. You must be able to hold and control the cable, operate

the foot switch, and reach the motor switch.

•Confirm that the motor switch is in the "OFF" position.

•Run the electrical cord along a clear path. With dry hands, connect the machine to a properly grounded

electrical outlet. Keep all connections dry and off the ground. If the electrical cord is not long enough, use

a grounded extension cord that is in good condition. Keep the connection off the ground to prevent it

from getting wet. Also verify that the extension cord is rated for outdoor use and has sufficient wire size

(16 AWG for up to 16m (50') length, 14 AWG for up to 30m (100') length. Undersized wires can

overheat, melting the insulation or causing an electrical hazard, fire or other damage. When using an

extension cord, the GFCI on the machine does not protect the extension cord. If the outlet is not GFCI

protected, use a plug-in type GFCI between the outlet and the extension cord. This will reduce the risk of

electric shock if there is a fault in the extension cord.

If the cutting tool becomes lodged and the cable is still rotating, the cable will start to

twist – release the foot switch to stop the motor immediately to help prevent

damaging the cable (the cable drum may rotate backwards somewhat as tension in the cable releases).

Ensure that the tool and/or cable is dislodged before continuing to use the machine. • If the cause of the

obstruction is unknown, use the Boring Bulb cutter to explore the obstruction and, if possible, retrieve a piece

to inspect. Once you can see the cause of the obstruction, select the appropriate tool for the job. Run the

smallest available tool through the blockage to allow the backed up water to flow and carry away the debris

as the drain clears.

Once the drain is flowing, more appropriate tools can be used on any remaining blockage. Keep in mind

that the largest tool used should be no bigger than the drain inside diameter, minus 25mm (1").

If properly used, the machine will not damage a drain that is in good condition and properly designed,

constructed, and maintained. However, if the drain is in poor condition or has not been properly designed,

drain clearing work may damage it. If possible, visually inspect the drain quality before operation.

Feeding the Cable

Only one person should operate the machine. Do not operate the machine with one person

controlling the cable and another person controlling the foot switch. This can cause the

cable to kink, twist, and break, which can also lead to serious personal Injury.

Place the motor switch in the "FOR" position.

Grasp the cable with gloved hands and start feeding the cable into the drain as far as it will go.

Press the foot switch to activate the cable drum, and continue feeding the cable into the drain.

•If the cable becomes lodged (for example: in a narrow part of the drain, in a drain trap, etc.), stop feeding

the cable and allow the cable to work past the obstruction.

•If the cable still will not pass the obstruction, release the foot switch, then pulse it to try and clear the

obstruction.

•Once the cable is free of the obstruction, press the foot switch and continue feeding.

The motor switch controls rotational direction of the cable drum only. Do NOT use the "REV" position

to retract the cable. Use "REV" only momentarily for relieving pressure or untangling cable from an

obstruction. • The warranty may be voided if the cable is damaged through excessive twisting, or if the

cable drum is run in reverse long enough to unwind cable.

Working Through Blockages and Preventing Cable Twist

If the cutting tool becomes lodged and the cable is still rotating, the cable will start to

twist – release the foot switch to stop the motor immediately to help prevent

damaging the cable (the cable drum may rotate backwards somewhat as tension in the cable releases).

Ensure that the tool and/or cable is dislodged before continuing to use the machine. • Do not let the cable

build up outside drain. • Do not wind in the cable if it is twisted or under tension. • While working through

obstructions, the tool and cable can get clogged with debris, preventing further cleaning. If this occurs, retract

the cable and tool and clear them before continuing.

If the cutting tool becomes lodged or embedded in an obstruction, it will not cut and must be dislodged

before continuing. If the cable continues to rotate when the cutting tool is lodged, the cable will quickly twist

and kink, which may create a hazard and/or damage the cable.

What to do if the cutter gets lodged:

1. Release the foot switch IMMEDIATELY to prevent the cable being further driven and rotated.

2. Place the motor switch in the "REV" position and activate it using the foot switch to dislodge the cable by

rotating it in reverse. Pulsing the motor slightly may also assist in dislodging the cutter. When the cutter

is dislodged, the cable should be able to rotate freely. If using the motor cannot dislodge the cutter,

release the foot switch, switch the machine OFF, then grasp the cable with gloved hands and pull it free.

Once the tool is free of the blockage and the cable is able to rotate freely, attempt to clear the obstruction

again. You may have to repeat this several times in order to clear the obstruction.

Once the drain is clear, turn on the tap or use a hose to flush debris through the drain and check for further

blockages or obstructions. If the water flow slows or stops, indicating a further obstruction or blockage,

resume clearing the drain.

Retracting the Cable

Do not retract the cable with the motor switch in the "REV" position. • Do not pull the cable

from drain while it is rotating – the cable can whip, causing serious injury.

•Place the motor switch in the "OFF" position, dry your hands, then disconnect the machine from the

electrical supply.

•Grasp the cable with gloved hands and pull it from the drain, and feed into the cable drum.
