WARNING Indicates a hazard that could cause
death or serious injury if not avoided
General Safety
Read all instructions, warnings, specifications, and
ratings for the equipment. Failure to follow all
instructions listed below may result in electric
shock, fire, and/or serious injury.
Work Area Safety
•Keep work area well-lit and clean.
•DO NOT operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres including mixtures of
flammable gases, vapors, liquids, or dust.
Power tools create sparks which may
ignite the flammable materials.
•Keep children and bystanders away while
operating a power tool. Distractions can
cause you to lose control.
Personal Safety
•Use personal protective equipment
(PPE) and always wear eye protection.
Wear proper protective equipment such
as hard hats, dust masks, non-skid safety
shoes, and hearing protection for
appropriate conditions to reduce chances
of injuries.
DANGER : Never grasp the drain cleaning cable
with a rag or cloth glove while it is rotating. Only
use gloves that come with the machine or gloves
that are recommended by Global Industrial
•Do not use a power tool while you are
tired or under the influence of alcohol,
drugs, or medication. Being inattentive
while operating a power tool may result in
serious personal injury.
•Dress properly. Do not wear any loose
clothing or jewelry. Keep gloves,
clothing, and hair away from moving
parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, and hair
can be caught in moving parts.
•Prevent accidental starting. Ensure the
Motor Power Switch (23c) is OFF
before connecting the power tool to a
power source. Carrying a power tool
with your hand on the switch or
connecting a power tool to a power
source while the switch is ON invites
accidents.
•Remove adjusting wrenches, keys, or
tools before turning the power tool ON.
A wrench, key, or tool left attached to a
rotating part of the power tool can result
in personal injury.
•Do not overreach. Keep proper balance
and footing at all times. Using proper
balance and footing allows better control
of the power tool during unexpected
situations.
Electric Safety
Always use outlets that match the power tool
plug. Never remove the grounding plug or
make any other modifications. Ensure the
outlet is properly installed and grounded. Do
not use adapter plugs. Using unmodified
plugs and outlets helps ensure grounding
and reduces chances of electrical shock.
Ensure the Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter
(GFCI) provided with the power cord is
functional before using the power tool.
Always use a GFCI protected supply when
using the power tool. GFCI reduces the risk
of an electric shock.
DO NOT contact any earthed or grounded
surfaces such as refrigerators, ranges, pipes,
and radiators.
DO NOT expose a power tool to rain or
wet conditions. Water in a power tool
increases the risk of an electric shock.
Always pull the plug – not the power cord -
when disconnecting from the outlet. DO NOT
abuse the power cord. Never use the power
cord for carrying or pulling the power tool.
Keep the power cord away from moving
parts, sharp edges, heat, and oil. Replace
damaged power cords as damages
increases the risk of electric shock.
Always use an extension cord for outdoor
conditions and a GFCI when using the
power tool outside. The GFCI on the power
cord will not prevent electric shock from the
extension cord. Plugging in extension cords
rated for outdoor use into a GFCI outlet can
reduce the risk of an electric shock.
DO NOT touch the power tool or the plug
when hands are wet. Wet hands can
increase the risk of electric shock.
Tool Safety and Use
DO NOT reach into the rotating drum unless
the power tool is OFF and disconnected
from a power source. Hands may be caught
in the moving parts which can cause serious
injury.
DO NOT leave the cleaning cable exposed
outside of the drum while the machine is
plugged in or the Motor Power Switch (23c)
is ON. The cleaning cable can whip and

2
cause serious injury.
Always check for damages to the cleaning
cable in the drum by pulling the cable out
while the power tool is OFF and
disconnected from a power source before
use. Perform frequent maintenance and
replace damaged, kinked, or broken cables
with identical replacements.
Only use gloves recommended by Global
Industrial for grasping the cleaning cable.
Loose fitting gloves such as cloth, rubber,
latex, or coated gloves can get caught on
the cleaning cable and cause serious injury.
Keep glove-covered hand on the cleaning
cable while the power tool is running.
Keeping gloved hands on the cable allows
for better control and helps prevent the
cable from breaking, twisting, or kinking
which may lead to serious personal injury.
Use goggles, face shields, respirators,
protective clothing, and latex or rubber
gloves under the gloves recommended by
Global Industrial to prevent the spread of
toxic or infectious substances coming from
the drain line. Drains may contain harmful
chemicals, bacteria, and other toxic or
infectious substances that may cause burns
and personal injury.
DO NOT use the power tool without the belt
guard or cable guide. The belt guard helps
reduce the risk of fingers getting caught
between the belt and the pulley. The cable
guide helps reduce the risk of hand injury.
This power tool is designed for a one-
person operation. The operator must be
able to turn the power tool OFF as soon as
the cutter stops rotating to prevent the
cleaning cable from breaking, twisting, and
kinking.
Only use the power tool for the
recommended drain or pipe sizes. Using a
drain cleaner inappropriate for the job can
cause the cleaning cable to break, twist, or
kink, and can cause personal injury.
DO NOT use the power tool at a distance
greater than two feet from the opening.
Distances greater than two feet can cause
the cleaning cable to break, twist, or kink.
DO NOT use the power tool while in
reverse (REV) unless specified in this
manual. Using the power tool while in
reverse can cause damage to the cleaning
cable. The power tool should only be in
reverse (REV) to back the cleaning cable and
cutter out of blockages or obstructions.
Always practice good hygiene before,
during, and after the job. Avoid direct
contact with your skin and eyes. DO NOT
eat or smoke while handling or using the
power tool. Wash hands and other body
parts exposed to drain contents with warm
soapy water. Keeping clean and protected
reduces the risk of health hazards.
DO NOT use this power tool if the operator
or power tool is standing in water. Using the
power tool while on water increases the risk
of electric shock.
Always check for risks of contact with
utilities such as natural gas or electricity
before using the power tool. Look for
utilities, damages to the drain, cross bores,
and other objects the cutter may contact.
Contact with these hazards can cause gas
leaks, fires, explosions, electric shocks, or
other serious injuries.
DO NOT force the power tool. Let the
cutter do the work. Using the appropriate
tool for the job is safer and effective. Cutters
that do not turn while the cleaning cable is
turning can be due to an obstruction.
Further use in this situation can cause
twisting or damage to the cleaning cable and
may result in serious injury.
DO NOT use the power tool if the power
switch does not turn it ON or OFF. A
Power tool which cannot be controlled with
a switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
Always disconnect the power tool from any
power source and/or remove batteries, if
applicable, before changing accessories or
storing the power tool. Disconnecting the
power prevents accidental starting of the
power tool.
Keep power tools and accessories out of
reach of children and untrained persons.
Power tools are dangerous when used
without proper training and understanding of
the power tool and these instructions.
Maintain accessories and tools with care.
Ensure there are no damages, misalignment,
binding of moving parts, or any other
condition that may affect the power tool’s
use. Poorly maintained tools can cause
accidents.
Keep cutting accessories and tools sharp
and clean. Sharp and clean tools are easier
to control, more effective, and less likely to
bind.
DO NOT use accessories that are not
provided or recommended by Global

3
Industrial. Accessories that are not suitable
for the power tool increases the risk of injury.
Always use the power tool, accessories, and
tools while following these instructions and
in consideration of the job and working
conditions. Using a power tool in situations
different from those intended increases the
risk of injury.
DO NOT use the power tool when handles
are dirty, slippery, or covered in oil.
Always keep the handles clean before using
the power tool to ensure safe handling and
control during unexpected situations.
Service
Always have the power tool serviced by a
qualified repair person using only identical
replacement parts. Professional service
reduces the risk of injury.

Figure 8. How to setup Auto-Feeder based on
cleaning cable sizes
Operating Instructions
1. Ensure the Motor Power Switch
(23c) is in the OFF position.
2. Grab the top handle and tilt the
machine back to let the drain cleaner
roll on its wheels. Position the drain
cleaner within two feet from the drain
opening. Tilt the machine forward and
use your foot to pull the axle of the
wheels away from the machine. This
will swing the rocker arm (10) of the
wheels outward and let the machine
rest on its base to prevent it from
moving during use.
3. Connect the machine to an outlet that
matches the plug.
4. Test the GFCI near the plug on the
power cord by pressing the test button.
A light should turn on to indicate the
GFCI works. Then press the reset
button. If the light doesn’t turn on, the
GFCI needs to be repaired. DO NOT use
the machine until the GFCI has been
repaired.
5. Ensure the cable guide is installed to prevent
the cleaning cable from whipping. Always
keep a gloved hand on the cable. DO NOT
use cloth or loose gloves. Use the gloves
that come with the machine.
6. Place the Foot Switch (23b) in a
convenient location where you can
reach the motor switch with one hand
and reach the cleaning cable with
another hand.
7. Select the proper cutting tool (See
Table 1. Accessories and Application
Examples). A good tool to start with
is the Grease Cutter or Bulb Auger.
After the pipe is opened, try larger
blades to scrape the inside edges of
the pipe.
8. Slide the cutter onto the end of the
cleaning cable.
9. Pull the cleaning cable out of the
drum while the machine is OFF. Slide
the cleaning cable into the drain as
far as it will go. At least one foot (0.3
m) of the cable must be in the drain.
10. Tighten the knob on the top of the
Auto Feeder (2a) so that the Auto
Feeder (2a) roller presses against the
cable. DO NOT over tighten as this
could cause excess cable wear.
WARNING: The Auto Feeder (2a) is designed for
use with 3/4" and 5/8" cables only. 5/8” cables are
optional accessories. Both cables come
preinstalled in drums.
Figure 9. How to use Auto-Feeder
The Auto Feeder (2a) Lever controls the
feeding rate and the direction of the cable.
Hold the lever down to the Forward position to
pull the cable out of the drum and feed it into
the drain. The lower the lever is pushed
downward, the faster the cable will feed. Hold
the lever up to the Retrieve position to retract
the cable from the drain and push it back into

8
the drum. When the lever is held in the middle
at the Neutral position, the cable will continue
to rotate with the drum but it will not move in or
out of the feeder.
11. Set the Motor Power Switch (23c) at
the Forward position. Grab the
cleaning cable with a gloved hand,
and place your other hand on the
Auto Feeder (2a) Lever which should
be in the Neutral position. Step on
the Foot Switch (23b) to start the
machine.
12. Feed the cable into the drain line by
holding the Auto Feeder (2a) Lever
down (Forward position). Adjust the
feeding rate with the Auto Feeder (2a)
lever as the resistance changes. DO
NOT force the cable – let the cutter
do the work. The drain won’t be
cleaned faster and the cable could
get damaged.
13. If the cleaning cable twists or bends,
take your foot off the Foot Switch
(23b). Move the feed lever up
(Retrieve position) and step on the
foot pedal to retract some of the
cable back into the drum.
14. When the cable reaches a stoppage,
move the Auto Feeder (2a) Lever to
the middle (Neutral).
15. Slowly move the Auto Feeder (2a)
Lever down (Forward) to allow the
cutter to chew the stoppage as it
goes. Moving the cable back and
forth slowly is effective and helps
reduce stress on the cable.
NOTE: It’s sometimes helpful to move the cable
back and forth slowly. This can effectively remove
the stoppage without damaging the cleaning cable.
To move the cable back and away from the
stoppage, move the Auto Feeder (2a) lever up to
the Retrieve position. Then move the Auto Feeder
(2a) lever down to the Forward position. Repeat
as needed.
16. Ensure the cutter doesn’t get caught
in the stoppage as you work through
it. This can cause the cleaning cable
to kink and break. When you feel the
cable start twisting in your hands,
stop the machine and pull some of
the cable back to free the cutter from
the obstruction. Then, repeat the
slow forward motion. Remember, no
cutting takes place when the blade
stops turning.
17. After the line is opened and you are
ready to put the cleaning cable back
into the drum, ensure the Motor
Power Switch (23c) is still at the
Forward position. This is important to
prevent the cable from tangling in the
drum. Move the Auto Feeder (2a)
lever up to the Retrieve position and
step on the Foot Switch (23b) until
the cutter tool is near the drain
opening.
DANGER: Always run the machine with the Motor
Power Switch (23c) in the Forward position for
moving the cable into the drain line, out of the drain
line, and into the drum. The Reverse position is
only meant to be used for a few seconds to get a
cable unstuck. The Reverse position is NOT for
retracting the cable into the drum.
18. When the cutter tool is near the drain
opening, take your foot off the Foot
Switch (23b).
DANGER: Never retract the cutting tool from the
drain while the cable is rotating. The cleaning cable
could whip and cause serious injury.
