5. Pull at least 18" (46 cm) of the cable from the tool. Insert
at least 12" (30 cm) of cable into the drain, leaving no
more than 6" (15 cm) of the cable exposed.

WARNING: Do not operate if more than 6" (15 cm) of
cable is exposed. Greater distance can cause twisting,
kinking, breaking or whipping of the cable.

WARNING: Always wear leather work gloves
with latex gloves inside when operating the
drain snake.

a blockage or the pipe, release the trigger immediately.

WARNING: Only operate in reverse to remove the
cable from an obstruction.

until it becomes difficult.
7. As feeding the cable becomes more difficult, move the
front handle back to lock the cable with only 6" (15 cm)
of cable exposed. With hands clear of the cable, pull the
trigger to begin rotating the cable, and move the drain
snake towards the drain opening to push the cable down
the drain.
8. Release the trigger, move the front handle foward to
unlock the cable, grip the cable with your gloved hand
to prevent it from pulling out of the drain and pull the
drain snake back so that no more than 6" (15 cm) of cable
is exposed.
NoTE: The cable is not attached to the inner drum. Use care
when feeding out the last 5 to 7 feet (1.5 m to 2.13 m) of the
cable, to ensure that it does not come out of the machine.
