NOTICE This machine is made to clean
drains. If properly used it will not damage a
drain that is in good condition and properly de-
signed, constructed and maintained. If the drain
is in poor condition, or has not been properly
designed, constructed and maintained, the
drain cleaning process may not be effective or
could cause damage to the drain. The best
way to determine the condition of a drain before
cleaning is through visual inspection with a
camera. Improper use of this drain cleaner can
damage the drain cleaner and the drain. This
machine may not clear all blockages.

Machine Inspection

WARNING
Before each use, inspect your drain
clean ing machine and correct any prob-
lems to reduce the risk of serious injury
from electric shock, twisted or broken
cables, chemical burns, infections and
other causes and prevent drain cleaner
damage.
1. Clean any oil, grease or dirt from all
equipment, including handles and con-
trols. This aids inspection and helps pre-
vent the machine or control from slipping
from your grip. Clean any debris from
the cable and drum.
2. Inspect the drain cleaner for the following
items:
6

4
(6 mm) Diameter
MAXCORE Cable
Crank
Drum
Handle
• Proper assembly and completeness
• Broken, worn, missing, misaligned or
binding parts
• Smooth and free movement of the trig-
ger and drum
• Presence and readability of the warn-
ing label (see Figure 2.)
If any problems are found, do not use
the drain cleaner until the problems have
been repaired.
3. Inspect cable for wear and damage –
Look for:
• Obvious flats worn into the outside of
the cable (cable is made from round
wire and profile should be round).
• Multiple or excessively large kinks (slight
kinks up to 15 degrees can be straight-
ened).
• Space between the cables indicating
the cable has been deformed by
stretch ing, kinking or run in REVERSE.
• Excessive corrosion from storing wet or
exposure to drain chemicals.
All of these forms of wear and damage
weaken the cable and make cable twist-
ing, kinking or breaking more likely during
use. Replace worn and damaged cable
before using drain cleaner.
4. If using the Power-Spin Drain Cleaner
with a Battery Power Drill, inspect the
drill per it's instructions. Make sure that
the drill is in good operating condition
and the switch controls the drill operation.
Confirm that the drill turns at less than
500 rpm.
