Operating Instructions

The WORKPRO Electric Drain Auger is designed for pipes ranging from 3/4 inches up to 2 inches in width, with a 25-foot (7.6m) cable. The olive-shaped head is ideal for navigating L, S, and U bends.

Basic Operation Steps:

1. Prepare the Area: Clear the drain opening and ensure you have a bucket or container ready to catch any debris or water.
2. Insert the Cable: Manually feed the cable into the drain opening. For best results, ensure at least 4 inches of cable are extended from the drum before starting the motor.
3. Select Direction: Use the Forward/Reverse Lever to select the desired rotation direction (Forward for extending the cable, Reverse for retracting).
4. Engage and Feed:
   • To feed the cable forward, press the Front Operating Handle forward (towards the cable exit).
   • To retract the cable, pull the Front Operating Handle backward (towards the handle).
5. Control Speed: Press the Variable Speed Switch Trigger to start the motor and control the cable's rotation speed. Adjust the speed as needed for different types of clogs.
6. Clear the Clog: Slowly feed the cable into the drain, allowing the rotating head to break up and clear the obstruction. If the cable encounters resistance, gently work it back and forth.
7. Retract the Cable: Once the clog is cleared, switch the Forward/Reverse Lever to Reverse and pull the Front Operating Handle backward to retract the cable.
8. Clean Up: After use, clean the cable and the drum thoroughly.
