Installation & Usage Tips
- Ensure Proper Cable Size: Match the auger’s coupling with your machine’s cable (5/8″ or 3/4″).
- Start Slowly: Feed the auger into the drain at slow speed initially to prevent damaging pipes or the tool.
- Use Forward/Reverse Cycles: If it stalls, reverse briefly then push forward again to free clog.
- Flush After Clearing: After augering, flush the line with water to remove loosened debris.
- Inspect for Wear: Regularly check the steel head for signs of wear or deformation, and replace as needed to maintain effectiveness.
