PG 6 MYTANA MS11-NG2 / MS9-NG2 / MSA-NG2 USER MANUAL
Always remember to stack the cable snugly against the
outer diameter of the reel while operating the machine
As you operate the machine, place one hand on the cable
close to the switch (See Figure 4) to prevent any throwing of
the cable.
Gently pull the cable out of the machine a little at a time. You
will nd that it will move itself into the sewer.
When the operator has had sucient experience, his“touch”
will tell him the extent of tension to allow the cable before
pulling back from the obstruction; however, inexperienced
operators should be cautious and allow the cable only about
5 seconds to cut through. If the blade doesn’t release, pull it
away from the obstruction and try again. The freed blades
spin rapidly when torque is released. Use the combined force
of the reel rotation and cable torque to optimize your cutting
power. This action will be more eective and will shorten the
length of time on the job.
Difficulties
If at anytime the cutting blades become stuck and cannot
be released, shut o machine immediately and hold cable
close to the switch to prevent the cable from coming out
of the machine. Continue holding cable with one hand and
unhook the spring cleat with the other hand (Figure 5). Let
the reel spin backwards, removing the strain on the cable.
After the reel stops, spin it backwards a few more turns. This
may release the obstructions that can be wrapped around
the cutting blades. When the cable is released, pull the cable
out of the pipe, clean o any obstruction accumulated on
the blades or cable, and insert it into the sewer again, still using the
smaller blades. Larger blades can be used after the smaller ones
have been through the full length of the pipe.
Obstructions
When the blade hits an obstruction, it can be readily felt by the
operator. Give the blade a few seconds to release; if it doesn’t pull
back the cable just enough to free the blade, allowing it to rotate
freely again. Continue this until you have reached the end of the
pipe. Withdraw the cable gently and feed it into the machine,
where the same counter-clockwise rotation will re-wind it snugly
into the reel - SHUT OFF THE MOTOR AND THEN CHANGE BLADES!
After the rst opening is made, turn on the nearest faucet so that
water will ush the loosened debris. Allow the water to run contin-
uously during the entire job. Follow the rst opening with slightly
larger blades until you can use a blade that will actually scrape the
sidewalls of the pipe or sewer. Each job is a new problem in itself,
and the operator will master each situation as it arises. Mastering
the operation of the machine can be sped up by carefully
following these simple rules during and on-the-job operation.
DO NOT LEAVE MOTOR RUNNING UNATTENDED!
