completely before you use the tool for the rst time.
2. For optimum battery performance, avoid low discharge
cycles by charging the battery pack frequently.
3. Store the battery pack in a cool place, ideally at 59°F
(15°C) and charged to at least 40%.
4. Lithium-ion batteries are subject to a natural aging
process. The battery pack must be replaced at the latest
when its capacity falls to just 80% of its capacity when
new. Weakened cells in an aged battery pack are no
longer capable of meeting the high power requirements
needed for the proper operation of your cordless drain
auger, and therefore pose a safety risk.

5
5. Do not throw battery packs into an open re as this poses
a risk of explosion.
6. Do not ignite the battery pack or expose it to re.
7. Do not exhaustively discharge batteries. Exhaustive

5. Do not use the supplied battery charger to charge other
cordless tools.
6. During periods of heavy use, the battery pack will become
warm. Allow the battery pack to cool to room temperature
before inserting it into the charger to recharge.
7. Do not overcharge batteries. Do not exceed the maximum
charging times. These charging times only apply to
discharged batteries. Frequent insertion of a charged or
partially charged battery pack will result in overcharging
and cell damage. Do not leave batteries in the charger for
days on end.
8. Never use or charge batteries if you suspect that it has
been more than 12 months since the last time they were
charged. There is a high probability that the battery pack
has already suered dangerous damage (exhaustive
discharge).
9. Charging batteries at a temperature below 41°F (5°C) will
cause chemical damage to the cells and may cause a re.
10. Do not use batteries that have been exposed to heat
during the charging process, as the battery cells may have
suered dangerous damage.
11. Do not use batteries that have suered curvature or
deformation during the charging process or those that
exhibit other atypical symptoms (gassing, hissing,
cracking, etc.).
12. Never fully discharge the battery pack (maximum
recommended depth of discharge is 80%). A complete
discharge of the battery pack will lead to premature aging
of the battery cells.

To clear obstructions:
1. When removing an obstruction from a sink or a bathtub,
it may be necessary to remove the stopper or overow
cover to gain access to the drain pipe. Toilet drains can be
accessed directly through the base of the bowl (Fig. 19).
2. Hold the drain auger within 4 in. (10 cm) of the drain or
overow, and manually feed the cable into the drain pipe.
NOTE: Advance the cable slowly at rst. Advancing it too
repidly can result in twisting or binding.
3. After feeding about 6 in. (15 cm) of cable into the drain,
you may begin advancing the cable using the trigger
switch.
4. The cable should advance freely through the drain pipe
until it contacts the obstruction or is caught in a P-trap.
5. If cable is caught in a P-trap, additional force or increased
trigger pressure should be enough to advance it past the
bend in the pipe.
6. If the cable has contacted an obstruction:
• Advance the cable by squeezing the switch trigger.
Hold the trigger for several seconds allowing the tip of
the cable to bore into the obstruction.
• If the cable stops rotating, release the switch trigger to
avoid kinking or damaging the cable.
• Place the operating handle in the neutral (0) position,
then push or pull the cable manually until the
obstruction is dislodged. Then slowly retract the cable
from the drain pipe.
NOTE: When removing the cable from a drain, remove it slowly
to avoid “splash back”.
NOTE: If the tip of the cable is entangled and dicult to
remove, change the direction of rotation to (0) neutral and
run the tool in neutral to unwind and disengage from the
obstruction.
7. Once the obstruction is cleared, run water through your
drain to conrm that the water is owing freely.
8. After the cable has been properly cleaned, as described in
the next section, store the unit for later use.
Cleaning the Drain Auger
The drain auger should be cleaned after each use to prevent
contamination and residue build up.
To drain the drum:
1. Remove the battery pack from the tool.
2. Hold the tool at an angle and by using an Allen wrench lift
the drain tab located on the back of the tool (Fig. 20).
3. Allow any liquid inside the drum to pour down a drain or
into a container approved for liquid waste.
To clean the cable:
1. Remove the battery pack from the tool.
2. Place the operating handle in the (0) neutral position.
3. Using a clean cloth and warm soapy water, pull the cable
out from the tool, cleaning it as it advances. Continue
until the cable has been fully advanced and completely
cleaned.
4. With operating handle in (0) neutral position, use a clean,
dry cloth, push the cable back into the tool, drying it as it
retracts. Continue until the cable has been fully retracted.
5. To ensure that no water entered the tool, drain the drum
as described earlier (Fig. 20).
NOTE: To improve the life expectancy of your drain auger and
to protect from rusting, wipe it down with an oiled cloth.
With the exception of the cable, the parts of the drain auger
cannot be replaced.
mWARNING! Do not advance or retract the cable using
the switch trigger unless the cable is in a drain pipe.
Replacing Cable
1. Remove the battery pack from the tool.
2. Place the operating handle in the (0) neutral position.
3. Pull the cable out from the tool to expose the connector.
