When the forward and reverse rotation button R is pressed, the flexible shaft stretches in the
opposite direction.
When the operating handle is in the O neutral position, the flexible shaft stops stretching no matter
in forward or reverse rotation (Fig. 7)
Please place the tool head at a distance of less than 150mm away from the pipe opening. If the
distance is too long, it will cause the flexible shaft to be twisted and knotted; and do not place the
tool head too close to the pipe, which is inconvenient to observe the condition of the flexible shaft
(Fig. 8).
Press the forward and reverse rotation button L, press the speed switch slightly, pull the handle
forward to the F position, and the flexible shaft will be delivered forward to start dredging; after
dredging the pipe, pull the handle back to the R position to retract the flexible shaft;
In the cases of blockage or blocked cornering of the flexible shaft, pull back the handle to retract for
a certain distance, and then pull forward to deliver again. Repeatedly move forward and backward
the operating handle to dredge the pipe and move through the corners. Do not force the delivery of
the flexible shaft, otherwise the flexible shaft will twist knotted or be broken and cause serious
injury;
If the blockage is too stubborn, apply the following two methods:
Rotate the locking ring counterclockwise to obtain a greater thrust. In this case, it is necessary
to lightly press the speed switch to closely observe the state of the flexible shaft. If the flexible
shaft is obstructed, twisted or knotted, release the speed switch immediately and stop the
rotation. Do not force the delivery of the flexible shaft;
Switch the operating handle in F and 0 positions, and dredge the pipe slowly according to the
actual situation.
If the flexible shaft is trapped in the pipe: that is, it cannot dredge or be retracted, press the
forward and reverse rotation button R, and pull the handle forward to retract the flexible shaft.
Notice: Situations of pipe blockage are varied, it is necessary to closely observe the situation of
the flexible shaft when using it. If it is distorted or blocked, stop the machine immediately, and
then take different operations according to the actual situation. If the pipe cannot be dredged,
please ask for professional for help. Do not force the operation and cause unnecessary troubles.

a certain distance, and then pull forward to deliver again. Repeatedly move forward and backward
the operating handle to dredge the pipe and move through the corners. Do not force the delivery of
the flexible shaft, otherwise the flexible shaft will twist knotted or be broken and cause serious
injury;
If the blockage is too stubborn, apply the following two methods:
Rotate the locking ring counterclockwise to obtain a greater thrust. In this case, it is necessary
to lightly press the speed switch to closely observe the state of the flexible shaft. If the flexible
shaft is obstructed, twisted or knotted, release the speed switch immediately and stop the
rotation. Do not force the delivery of the flexible shaft;
Switch the operating handle in F and 0 positions, and dredge the pipe slowly according to the
actual situation.
If the flexible shaft is trapped in the pipe: that is, it cannot dredge or be retracted, press the
forward and reverse rotation button R, and pull the handle forward to retract the flexible shaft.
Notice: Situations of pipe blockage are varied, it is necessary to closely observe the situation of
the flexible shaft when using it. If it is distorted or blocked, stop the machine immediately, and

a certain distance, and then pull forward to deliver again. Repeatedly move forward and backward
the operating handle to dredge the pipe and move through the corners. Do not force the delivery of
the flexible shaft, otherwise the flexible shaft will twist knotted or be broken and cause serious
injury;
If the blockage is too stubborn, apply the following two methods:
Rotate the locking ring counterclockwise to obtain a greater thrust. In this case, it is necessary
to lightly press the speed switch to closely observe the state of the flexible shaft. If the flexible
shaft is obstructed, twisted or knotted, release the speed switch immediately and stop the
rotation. Do not force the delivery of the flexible shaft;
Switch the operating handle in F and 0 positions, and dredge the pipe slowly according to the
actual situation.
If the flexible shaft is trapped in the pipe: that is, it cannot dredge or be retracted, press the
forward and reverse rotation button R, and pull the handle forward to retract the flexible shaft.
Notice: Situations of pipe blockage are varied, it is necessary to closely observe the situation of
the flexible shaft when using it. If it is distorted or blocked, stop the machine immediately, and

Notice: Please use the standard power cord.
When using the power tool outdoors, use extension cable marked with “W-A” or “W\” and the wire insulation
layer must be thick enough.
These cables are suitable for outdoor use and can reduce the occurrence of electric shock.
Make sure the battery pack is unplugged.
Check if the cable plug is damaged.
Check if the waterproof plug on the drum is installed and the wrench is removed.
Check if there are damaged machine parts that may pose a threat to your safety.
Lubricate the flexible shaft in according to the operation manual.
Selection of appropriate accessories for pipe dredge can improve the efficiency and quality of
dredging.
Before using, clean up the dirt on handle and the machine body.
Check if the flexible shaft is worn or damaged. In the cases of worn flat, corrosion and bending
deformation, please immediately replace the flexible shaft.
Check the workplace to ensure sufficient lighting, no flammable liquid, gas or dust. Check the
connection of cable and socket to ensure that the cable will not be damaged.
Do not place the side of the flexible shaft towards the operator or other people.
Please check if the battery pack is unplugged before replacing it！
Before inspection and maintenance, please switch off tool power and take off the battery pack!
After each use, rotate manually the drum until the waterproof plug is exposed out of the housing
and remove the waterproof plug with allen wrench. Erect tools with head down so that liquid
inside the drum will drain out and reinstall the waterproof plug.(Figure10)
Do remember to take off the wrench in case of tossing out when started next time, causing
personal injuries.
Please clean the flexible shaft and drum carefully. If it is not to be used for a long time, please
apply butter on the surface of the flexible shaft to prevent rust.
Switch forward and reverse rotation
This switch can control the steering of the flexible shaft: press the L for forward rotation and press the R for
reverse rotation, when the driving lever is in the middle and the trigger cannot be pulled
It is required to confirm the rotation direction before operation.
The forward and reverse rotation push button can be switched when the tool completely stops rotating.
When tools are not used, please be sure to switch the forward and reverse rotation push button in the
middle state in case of mis-operation.
Notice: The reverse rotation is only used to retract the flexible shaft in the trapped state (Fig.4).

When the forward and reverse rotation button R is pressed, the flexible shaft stretches in the
opposite direction.
When the operating handle is in the O neutral position, the flexible shaft stops stretching no matter
in forward or reverse rotation (Fig. 7)
Please place the tool head at a distance of less than 150mm away from the pipe opening. If the
distance is too long, it will cause the flexible shaft to be twisted and knotted; and do not place the
tool head too close to the pipe, which is inconvenient to observe the condition of the flexible shaft
(Fig. 8).
Press the forward and reverse rotation button L, press the speed switch slightly, pull the handle
forward to the F position, and the flexible shaft will be delivered forward to start dredging; after
dredging the pipe, pull the handle back to the R position to retract the flexible shaft;
In the cases of blockage or blocked cornering of the flexible shaft, pull back the handle to retract for
a certain distance, and then pull forward to deliver again. Repeatedly move forward and backward
the operating handle to dredge the pipe and move through the corners. Do not force the delivery of
the flexible shaft, otherwise the flexible shaft will twist knotted or be broken and cause serious
injury;
If the blockage is too stubborn, apply the following two methods:
Rotate the locking ring counterclockwise to obtain a greater thrust. In this case, it is necessary
to lightly press the speed switch to closely observe the state of the flexible shaft. If the flexible
shaft is obstructed, twisted or knotted, release the speed switch immediately and stop the
rotation. Do not force the delivery of the flexible shaft;
Switch the operating handle in F and 0 positions, and dredge the pipe slowly according to the
actual situation.
If the flexible shaft is trapped in the pipe: that is, it cannot dredge or be retracted, press the
forward and reverse rotation button R, and pull the handle forward to retract the flexible shaft.
Notice: Situations of pipe blockage are varied, it is necessary to closely observe the situation of
the flexible shaft when using it. If it is distorted or blocked, stop the machine immediately, and
then take different operations according to the actual situation. If the pipe cannot be dredged,
please ask for professional for help. Do not force the operation and cause unnecessary troubles.
