5. Operating Instructions

Follow these steps for safe and effective operation of your drain cleaner machine:

1. Wear PPE: Always wear heavy-duty gloves and eye protection before starting.
2. Insert Cable: Guide the cable with the attached cutter into the drain opening.
3. Engage Feed Mechanism: Use the manual feeding control system to feed the cable into the pipe. For stubborn clogs, you may need to apply gentle pressure.
4. Control Direction (CW/CCW): Use the CW/CCW switch to control the rotation direction of the cable.
   • CW (Clockwise): For advancing the cable and cutting through blockages.
   • CCW (Counter-Clockwise): For retracting the cable or dislodging the cutter if it gets stuck.
5. Clear Clog: As the cable advances, the rotating cutter will break up and clear the obstruction. Listen for changes in motor sound and feel for resistance to gauge progress.
6. Retract Cable: Once the clog is cleared, switch the machine to CCW and slowly retract the cable from the drain. Clean the cable as it is retracted.
7. Test Drain: After removing the cable, run water down the drain to ensure the blockage is completely cleared.

• Inspect Power Cord: Regularly check the power cord for cuts, fraying, or damage. Replace immediately if any damage is found.

7. Troubleshooting

This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your drain cleaner machine.

• Machine Not Starting:
    - Check if the power cord is securely plugged into a working outlet.
