1. Maintain labels and nameplates on the tool.
These carry important safety information.
If unreadable or missing, contact
Harbor Freight Tools for a replacement.
2. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, do not
put motor or cord in water or other liquid.
3. Do not wear cloth gloves or loose clothing, or use
a rag to grasp the cable to prevent entanglement.
4. Use appropriate personal protective equipment
while handling and using Drain Cleaner. Drains may
contain chemicals, bacteria and other substances
that may be toxic, infectious, cause burns or other
issues. Appropriate personal protective equipment
always includes ANSI-approved splash-resistant
safety glasses under face shield, NIOSH-approved
dust mask/respirator, and heavy-duty LEATHER
work gloves, and may include equipment such
as latex or rubber gloves under LEATHER work
gloves, protective clothing, and steel toed footwear.
5. Do not use in pipe containing
drain cleaning chemicals.
6. Do not use in pipe obstructed by roots.
7. Wash hands after use. Use hot, soapy water
to wash hands and other exposed body parts
exposed to drain contents after handling or using
Drain Cleaner. Do not eat or smoke while operating
or handling Drain Cleaner. This will help prevent
contamination with toxic or infectious material.
8. Have your Drain Cleaner serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the
Drain Cleaner is maintained.
9. Do not put too much stress on Cable.
Quickly release tension if it starts to build
in the cable. Excess tension will cause
the Cable to twist, kink, or break.
10. Reverse Motor direction only when pulling the
Cable off an obstruction. Trying to push the
Cable down the pipe or pull it out of a pipe while
in reverse operation will unravel and break
the Cable. Wait for the Drum to stop turning
completely before changing the Rotation Switch.
11. Only use Drain Cleaner to clean drains of
recommended sizes according to these instructions.
Other uses or modifying the Drain Cleaner for
other applications may increase the risk of injury.
12. Wash hands after use. Use hot, soapy water
to wash hands and other exposed body parts
exposed to drain contents after handling or using
Drain Cleaner. Do not eat or smoke while operating
or handling Drain Cleaner. This will help prevent
contamination with toxic or infectious material.
13. Avoid unintentional starting.
Prepare to begin work before turning on the tool.
14. Do not lay the tool down until it has come to
a complete stop. Moving parts can grab the
surface and pull the tool out of your control.
15. When using a handheld power tool,
maintain a firm grip on the tool with both
hands to resist starting torque.
16. Do not leave the tool unattended when it is plugged
into an electrical outlet. Turn off the tool, and
unplug it from its electrical outlet before leaving.
17. This product is not a toy.
Keep it out of reach of children.
18. People with pacemakers should consult their
physician(s) before use. Electromagnetic fields in
close proximity to heart pacemaker could cause
pacemaker interference or pacemaker failure.
In addition, people with pacemakers should:
• Avoid operating alone.
• Do not use with Trigger locked on.
• Properly maintain and inspect to avoid
electrical shock.
• Properly ground power cord. Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter (GFCI) should also be implemented
– it prevents sustained electrical shock.
19. The warnings, precautions, and instructions
discussed in this instruction manual cannot cover all
possible conditions and situations that may occur.
It must be understood by the operator that
common sense and caution are factors
which cannot be built into this product,
but must be supplied by the operator.

!"+(,$"&8%E,2*$V
This tool vibrates during use.
Repeated or long-term exposure to vibration may
cause temporary or permanent physical injury,
particularly to the hands, arms and shoulders.
To reduce the risk of vibration-related injury:
1. Anyone using vibrating tools regularly or for
an extended period should first be examined
by a doctor and then have regular medical
check-ups to ensure medical problems are not
being caused or worsened from use. Pregnant
women or people who have impaired blood
circulation to the hand, past hand injuries,
nervous system disorders, diabetes, or
Raynaud’s Disease should not use this tool.
If you feel any symptoms related to vibration (such
as tingling, numbness, and white or blue fingers),
seek medical advice as soon as possible.
2. Do not smoke during use. Nicotine reduces
the blood supply to the hands and fingers,
increasing the risk of vibration-related injury.
3. Wear suitable gloves to reduce the
vibration effects on the user.
4. Use tools with the lowest vibration
when there is a choice.
5. Include vibration-free periods each day of work.
6. Grip tool as lightly as possible (while still keeping
safe control of it). Let the tool do the work.
7. To reduce vibration, maintain the tool as
explained in this manual. If any abnormal
vibration occurs, stop use immediately.

1. Grounded tools require a three wire extension cord.
Double Insulated tools can use either
a two or three wire extension cord.
2. As the distance from the supply outlet increases,
you must use a heavier gauge extension cord.
Using extension cords with inadequately sized wire
causes a serious drop in voltage, resulting in loss of
power and possible tool damage. [E**%G,+7*%F1\
3. The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the
greater the capacity of the cord. For example,
a 14 gauge cord can carry a higher current
than a 16 gauge cord. [E**%G,+7*%F1\
4. When using more than one extension cord
to make up the total length, make sure
each cord contains at least the minimum
wire size required. [E**%G,+7*%F1\
5. If you are using one extension cord for more
than one tool, add the nameplate%amperes
and use the sum to determine the required
minimum cord size. [E**%G,+7*%F1\
6. If you are using an extension cord outdoors, make
sure it is marked with the suffix “W-A” (“W” in
Canada) to indicate it is acceptable for outdoor use.
7. Make sure the extension cord is properly wired
and in good electrical condition. Always replace
a damaged extension cord or have it repaired
by a qualified electrician before using it.
8. Protect the extension cords from sharp objects,
excessive heat, and damp or wet areas.

1. Unplug Drain Cleaner and inspect the power
cord, Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) and
plug for damage.%If the plug has been modified,
or if the cord is damaged, to avoid electrical
shock, do not use the appliance until the cord
has been replaced by a qualified electrician.
2. Inspect the tool for broken, worn, missing,
misaligned or binding parts or any other condition
which may prevent safe and normal operation.
3. Check the Cable for wear and damage.
Replace Cable before use if any section:
a. is worn or flattened,
b. is kinked more than 15°,
c. has spaces between coils (often caused by
running motor in reverse or pulling on cable),
d. shows signs of corrosion.
4. Install the Drain Plug and make
sure it is properly tightened.
5. Make sure that switches and handles move
smoothly between positions and lock in place.
6. Move Lock Ring to unlocked position.
7. Check that all warning labels are present,
firmly attached and readable.
8. Before use, fully retract the Cable with
no more than 2″ of Cable outside of the
appliance. This will the keep the Cable from
“whipping” when the appliance is turned on.
9. Clean any oil, grease or dirt from all equipment
handles and controls.%%This helps prevent the
appliance or control from slipping during use.

1. Verify that work area has adequate
lighting for the job.
2. Make sure work area is free of flammable liquids,
vapors or dust that may ignite. Sparks can be
generated during Drain Cleaner operation.
Do not work in area until these sources of
ignition have been identified and corrected.
3. Do not use the appliance while standing in water.
If needed, remove the water from the work area.
4. Verify the electrical outlet is properly grounded.
A three-prong or GFCI outlet may not be
properly grounded. If in doubt, have outlet
inspected by a licensed electrician.
5. Make sure there is a clear, unobstructed path
from the Drain Cleaner to the electrical outlet.
6. Inspect the drain to be cleaned. If possible,
determine the best access point(s) to the drain, the
size(s) and length(s) of the drain, distance to tanks
or mainlines, the nature of the blockage, presence
of drain cleaning chemicals or other chemicals, etc.
7. If there are chemicals present in the drain, read
and adhere to the specific safety measures
required to work around those chemicals.
Contact the chemical manufacturer for required
safety instructions and information.
8. If necessary, remove fixture (toilet, sink, etc.) to
allow access to the drain. U&%8&$%2**9%$.*%O,+7*%
$.(&'3.%,%2"Z$'(*1%This could damage
the Drain Cleaner and the fixture.
9. If needed, place protective covers over
the work area floor. Cleaning the clogged
drain can be a messy operation.
10. To prevent Cable from whipping, place
Drain Cleaner within 6 inches of drain line.

11. If needed, set up barriers to keep
bystanders away from the Drain Cleaner
and work area during operation.
12. Run the power cord along the clear path.
With dry hands, plug the Drain Cleaner
into a properly grounded outlet. Keep all
connections dry and off the ground.
13. If the power cord is not long enough, use an
extension cord that is in good condition and
has a plug similar to the one supplied on the
Drain Cleaner. Keep the connection off the ground
to prevent it from accidentally getting wet.
14. Also verify that the extension cord is rated
for outdoor use and contains a W or W-A
in the cord designation (i.e. SOW).
15. Verify the extension cord has sufficient wire size
(16 AWG for 50′ or less, 14 AWG for 50′ – 100′ long).
Undersized wires can overheat, melting the
insulation or causing a fire or other damage.
16. When using an extension cord, the GFCI
on the Drain Cleaner does not protect the
extension cord. If the outlet is not GFCI protected,
use a plug-in type GFCI between the outlet and
the extension cord. This will reduce the risk of
shock if there is a fault in the extension cord.

1. Make sure that the Trigger is in the off-position and
the Lock Ring is unlocked, then plug in the tool.
2. To prevent Cable from whipping, place
Drain Cleaner within 6 inches of drain line.
This will keep Cable from hazardously
“whipping” when activating the Drain Cleaner.

4. With the Drain Cleaner off, pull the
Cable out of Drum with both gloved
hands and feed into the drain. Gradually
work the Cable at least 12" into the drain.
5. Squeeze Trigger and press Feed Handle forward
to continue feeding Cable into the drain.
6. As you feed Cable, you may feel and see
Cable slow down and/or start to wind or load up
(a “twisting” or “squirming” motion). This may
indicate a change in drain line (such as a drain trap,
elbow, etc.), a build up in the drain (mud or grease),
or the actual blockage. Continue to slowly feed
the Cable until the Cable reaches the blockage.

7. If there is an exceptionally difficult clog, release
the Trigger, lock the Rotation Switch in the middle,
and twist the Lock Ring counterclockwise to exert
direct force on the cable. This will also prevent
the Cable from turning, advancing, or retracting.
TO PREVENT CABLE DAMAGE, DO NOT TOUCH
THE TRIGGER WHILE THE LOCK RING IS
LOCKED. Twist the Lock Ring clockwise and switch
Rotation Switch to L to resume normal operation.
8. If the Cable becomes lodged in a narrow part of
the drain or in a drain trap, allow the Cable to try
and work itself past the obstruction. If Cable still
won’t pass obstruction, release the Trigger and use
sharp downward thrusts to try and pass obstruction.
Once Cable is past, squeeze the Trigger and
press Feed Handle forward to continue feeding.
9. To retract Cable, X**/%K&$,$"&8%E)"$4.%"8%T%
/&#"$"&8 and pull Feed Handle backwards.
10. To prevent accidents, turn off the tool, dry
your hands, and unplug the tool after use.
Clean the Cable (see below), then store
the tool indoors out of children’s reach.

1. Thoroughly flush Drain Cleaner Cable with
clean water after every use. Doing so will
help prevent the build-up of sediment and any
drain cleaning chemicals still in the cable.
2. Once Cable has been flushed, carefully
tip the Drain Cleaner forward to empty
out any remaining debris.
3. Rotate the Drum until the Drain Plug is visible.
Remove the Drain Plug and tilt the Drain
Cleaner backward to allow any remaining
fluid to drain out of the Drum. Store the
Drain Plug in the holder on the Power Cord.
4. Once the Cable is clean and dry,
pull the Cable from the Drum.
5. Lubricate with oily rag as you feed
Cable back into Drum.
