5. Make sure FOR/OFF/REV SWITCH is in OFF position.
6. Plug power cord into a properly grounded receptacle.
7. Move FOR/OFF/REV SWITCH to FOR position.
8. Grasp cable with two gloved hands and pull approxi-
mately 1 foot of additional cable out of machine,
building a slight loop of cable between machine and
sewer inlet.
WARNING
Before starting machine, operator must have both
gloved hands on cable.
9. While depressing foot actuator to start machine, use
both gloved hands to grasp and push cable into
sewer inlet.
NOTE! Rotating cable will slowly work its way into line as
operator applies downward pressure with gloved
hands on cable loop.
10. Continue Step 9 until resistance or obstruction is met.
This will generally become apparent to operator as it
will be difficult to feed additional cable into line and/or
the cable will have a tendency to twist sideways in op-
erator's hands.
WARNING
DO NOT allow tool to get hung up in an obstruction.
If tool gets hung up in an obstruction, refer to
Special Applications Procedure, Reverse Operation.
11. Allow the cutter to work through the obstruction — do
not force cable or kinking may result. If cable loads
down in the obstruction, relieve load by pulling back on
cable and freeing cutter. Let cutter gradually feed
back into the blockage.
12. Once obstruction is cleared, it is recommended that
operator flush debris from line with running water.
Operator may choose to repeat Step 11 for thorough
cleaning job and then proceed through additional
stoppages as required.
13. To retrieve cable from drain line, pull one to two feet of
cable from sewer while continuing to run machine in
forward rotation. This excess cable should then be
manually pushed back into machine. This procedure
should be continued until it is apparent that tool is just
inside sewer inlet.
WARNING
Never retract tool from sewer inlet while cable is
rotating.

Ridge Tool Company • Elyria, Ohio • U.S.A.
NOTE! It is recommended that a continuous flush of water
be used to clean cable and tool as they are re-
trieved.
14. Release foot actuator and allow machine to come to
a complete stop.
15. Turn FOR/OFF/REV SWITCH to OFF position and re-
move cord from power source.
16. Pull remaining cable and tool from sewer and hand
feed cable back into machine.
Special Applications Procedure
Reverse Operation
Running machine in REVERSE will cause premature
failure of cable. Use REVERSE only to free a tool caught
in an obstruction. If this should occur, immediately re-
move foot from actuator and allow machine to come to a
full and complete stop. Tighten set screw on nose of ma-
chine, so that it firmly captures cable, to avoid kinks
occurring inside the drum. Place FOR/OFF/REV switch
to REV (reverse) position. Grasp cable with gloved
hands and pull while jogging foot actuator. When tool is
dislodged place FOR/OFF/REV switch in FOR (forward)
position, loosen set screw on nose of machine and follow
normal operating procedure.
CAUTION
Never operate this machine in REV (reverse) for
any other purpose.
