DO NOT USE TOO MUCH FORCE –
LET THE CUTTER DO THE WORK.

DO NOT ALLOW TOO MUCH SLACK IN THE CABLE
BETWEEN MACHINE AND DRAIN OPENING SINCE
THIS CAN CAUSE CABLE WHIPPING.
1. The cable may have an EL-Basin plug head on the end to help
the cable around tight bends, or it may have a connector for at-
taching cutters to the end.
2. To attach a cutter, first unplug the machine. Then, remove the
screw and lock washer from the connector at the end of the ca-
ble. Slide the cutter into the slot, then replace the lock washer
and connecting screw. Tighten the screw firmly.
3. The Boring Gimlet and Arrow Head are good cutters to start with.
Then change to the larger cutters after you've gotten the water
flowing.
4. Place machine at a distance not greater than six inches (15cm)
from the drain opening. If you can’t place the machine this close
to the drain opening, run the cable through a hose or pipe to
prevent cable whipping.
6. After the cable has fed into the drain, release the trigger.
7. Slide the grip shield forward to release the cable. Pull the Super-
Vee back while holding the able in place. After you are past the
first bend, you probably will not have to hold the cable as you pull
the machine back.
8. Slide the grip shield back, squeeze the trigger and move the
machine toward the drain again. Slide the grip shield forward and
pull the machine back. Be sure to allow no more than six inches
of cable between the machine and drain opening. Too much
slack in the cable can cause it to tangle and kink.
9. Repeat procedure until you have worked through the stoppage.
10. Reverse the procedure to pull the cable out of the line.
11. When you hear the end of the cable near the drain opening, take
your finger off of the trigger switch to stop cable rotation. Never
retract the cutter from the drain opening while the cable is rotat-
ing. The cable could whip and cause serious injury.
4. Slide the grip shield back to grip the cable. Be sure the Forward/
Off/Reverse switch is in the FORWARD position.
5. Gently squeeze the trigger and move the machine toward the
drain opening. DO NOT FORCE THE CABLE. The job won’t go
any faster and you could kink the cable.

OPERATION
1. Plug machine into a properly grounded outlet.
2. Move the motor switch to the forward position.
3. Slide the grip shield forward to release cable. Place the cable in
the drain by hand as far as it will go.
Hint: It's often helpful to have a small stream of water running in the
line to wash the cuttings away while the machine is in operation and
after.
