wrench or a key left attached to a rotating
part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
• Do n
and balance at all times. This enables
better control of the tool in unexpected
situations.
• Dress properl
clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair,
clothing and gloves away from moving
parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair
can be caught in moving parts.
• If devices are provided for the connec-
tion of dust extraction and collection
ment of inattention while oper-
y result in serious personal
ot overreach. Keep proper footing
y. Do not wear loose
facilities, ensure these are connected
and properly used. Use of dust collec-
tion can reduce dust-related hazards.
• Do not let familiarity gained from fre
quent use of tools allow you to become
complacent and ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can cause se-
vere injury within a fraction of a second.
Power Tool Use and Care
• Do not force the power tool. Use the
correct tool for your application. The
correct power tool will do the job better
and safer at the rate for which it is designed.
• Do not use the power tool if the s
does not turn it ON and OFF. Any power
tool that cannot be controlled with the
switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
• Disconnect the plug from the power
source and/or remove the battery pack,
if detachable, from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power
tools. Such preventive safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the power tool
accidentally.
• Store idle tools out of the reach of chil-
dren and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power
tools can be dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
• Maintain power tools and accessories.
Check for misalignment or binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts and
any other condition that may affect the
power tool’s op er ation. If damaged,
have the power tool repaired before
use. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained power tools.
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with
sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind
and are easier to control.
• Use the power tool, accessories and
tool bits etc. in accordance with these
instructions, taking into account the
working conditions and the work to
be performed. Use of the power tool for
operations different from those intended
could result in a hazardous situation.

Specific Safety
Information
This section contains important safety
information that is specific to this tool.
Read these precautions carefully before using the FlexShaft™ Drain Cleaning
Machine to reduce the risk of electrical
shock or other serious injury.
Keep this manual with machine for use by
the operator.
FlexShaft Drain Cleaning
Machine Safety
• Before using the tool, test the ground
fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) provided
with the power supply cord to insure it
is operating correctly. A properly oper-
ating GFCI reduces the risk of electrical
shock.
• Only use extension cords that are pro-
tected by a GFCI. The GFCI on the machine power cord will not prevent electrical
shock from extension cords.
• Only grasp the rotating cable with
gloves recommended by the manufacturer. Latex or loose fitting gloves or
rags can become wrapped around the
cable and may result in serious personal
injury.
• Do not allow the cutter to stop turn-
ing while the cable is turning. This can
overstress the cable and may cause twisting, kinking or breaking of the cable and
may result in serious personal injury.
WARNING
SAVE ALL WARNINGS
AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR
FUTURE REFERENCE!
• One person must control both the
cable and the switch. If the cutter stops
rotating, the operator must be able to turn
the tool OFF to prevent the cable from
twisting, kinking and breaking.
• Use latex or rubber glo
gloves recommended by the manufacturer, goggles, face shields, protective
clothing, and respirator when chemicals, bacteria or other toxic or infectious substances are suspected to be
in a drain line. Drains may contain chem-
icals, bacteria and other substances that
may cause burns, be toxic or infectious
or may result in other serious personal
injury.
• Practice good hygiene. Do not eat or
smoke while handling or operating the
tool. After handling or operating drain
cleaning equipment, use hot, soapy
water to wash hands and other body
parts exposed to drain contents. This
will help reduce the risk of health hazards
due to exposure to toxic or infectious
material.
• Only use the Drain Cleaning Machine
for the recommended drain sizes. Using the wrong size drain cleaner can lead
to twisting, kinking or breaking of the cable
and may result in personal injury.
• Keep glove covered hand on the cable
assembly whenever the FlexShaft Machine is running. This provides better
control of the cable and helps prevent
twisting, kinking and breaking of the cable
and reduces the risk of injury.
• Position machine cable outlet within
4' (1.2 m) of the drain inlet or properly
support exposed cable assembly when
the distance exceeds 4' (1.2 m). Greater
distances can cause control problems leading to twisting, kinking or breaking of the
cable. Twisting, kinking or breaking cable
may cause striking or crushing injuries.
• Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry.
Keep your hair and clothing away from
moving parts. Loose clothing, jewelry or
hair can be caught in moving parts.
• Do not operate this machine if oper-
ator or machine is standing in water.
Operating machine while in water increases the risk of electrical shock.
• Do not use if there is the risk of con-
tact with other utilities (such as natural
gas or electric) during operation. Visual

Description
The RIDGID® Model K9-306 FlexShaft™
Drain Cleaning Machine is designed to clean
and descale 3" to 6" (75-150 mm) pipes and
drain lines, up to 125' (38 m) in length.
A REV/O-OFF/FOR switch controls cable rotation and a pneumatic foot switch provides ON/
OFF control of the motor. An integral Ground
Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) is built into the
line cord.
The cable assembly is manually fed in and
out of the drain and rotates at 2000 RPM. A
chain knocker that expands to the pipe inside
diameter is used to break up the blockage and
clean the walls of the pipe. Chain knockers
with carbide cutting tips are available for use
on roots and cleaning the scale from the pipe
wall. Plain chain knockers are for general use,
including grease.

6. Transport the drain cleaning machine to
the work area along a clear path. Adjust
handle if necessary (Figure 4). Move han-
dle latches together and move telescoping handle to desired position. Confirm
that the handle latches engage and the
handle is securely held in position. If handle is moved past latch holes, the handle
buttons will prevent the handle from pulling out. If this occurs, depress buttons to
move handle.

7. Place the Drain Cleaning Machine as
shown in Figure 5. Machine should sit
squarely and firmly on the ground.
8. Position the Drain Cleaning Machine so
that the cab
le outlet is within 4' (1.2 m) of
the drain access. Greater distances from
the drain access increases the risk of the
cable assembly twisting or kinking. If the
FlexShaft Machine cannot be placed with
the cable outlet within 4' (1.2 m) of the
drain access, extend the drain access
with similar sized pipe and fittings (see
Figure 5). Improper cable assembly support can allow the cable to kink and twist
and can damage the cable or injure the
operator. Extending the drain back to the
Drain Cleaning Machine also makes it
easier to feed cable assembly into drain.
Figure 5 – Example of Extending Drain Access to
within 4' (1.2 m) of Machine Cable Outlet
9. Unclamp the chain knocker and pull approximately 5' (1.5 m) of cable assembly
out of the machine.
10. Mark the sheath to indicate when the
chain knocker is approaching the drain
opening when withdrawn. This can be
done with tape. This reduces the risk of
the chain knockers coming out of the
drain and whipping around. The distance
depends on the configuration of the drain,
but should be at least 5' (1.5 m) from the
chain knocker.
11. Ensure chain knocker is properly installed
(see Installing/Adjusting Chain Knocker).
12. Insert chain knocker end at least 1' (0.3 m)
into drain.
13. Evaluate the work area and determine if
any barriers are needed to keep bystanders away from the drain cleaning machine and work area. The drain cleaning
process can be messy, and bystanders
can distract the operator.
14. Position the foot switch for easy accessibility. You must be able to hold and
control the cable, control the foot switch,
and reach the REV/O-OFF/FOR switch.
15. Confirm that the REV/O-OFF/FOR switch
is in the O-OFF position.
16. Run the cord along a clear path. With
dry hands, plug the drain cleaner into a
properly grounded outlet. Some GFCIs
may need to be reset every time they are
plugged in. Reset GFCI if needed. Keep
all connections dry and off the ground. If
the power cord is not long enough, use
an extension cord that:

the extension cord to reduce the risk of
shock if there is a fault in the extension
cord.
17. Move the REV/O-OFF/FOR Switch t
the O-OFF position, and with dry hands
unplug the machine.
Installing/Adjusting Chain
Knocker
1. Select proper chain knocker for the conditions.
Chain knockers are sized based on col-
lar inside diameter and are designed for
specific cable sizes. 3/8" chain knockers
are used on 3/8" cable, etc. Do not use
a larger size chain knocker on a smaller
cable (for instance 1/2" on 3/8"). See Fi-
gure 6 and Collar Distance Chart.
Chain knockers without carbide cut
tips can be used in common pipe types.
These chain knockers work well in grease
and similar blockages.
Chain knockers with carbide cut
are used for removing scale from the
inside of the pipe and can be used for
roots. Carbide cutting tips are used for
aggressive cleaning and could damage
pipe, especially softer materials (such
as plastics and Orangeburg), thin walled
pipe, or if the chain knocker is kept in one
position for an extended time.
Do not use chain knockers for cleaning in
glass, ceramic, porcelain or similar material fixtures or pipes. They could be
damaged.
2. Figure 7 shows a schematic of proper
chain knocker installation and adjustment.
ting
ting tips
There are two key points when installing/
adjusting chain knockers.
Coll
ar Distance: Set the chain knocker
collars the correct distance apart (“Collar
Distance”) to allow the chains to spread
an appropriate amount when rotated to
clean the pipe walls. Collar Distance varies based on cable size and pipe diameter, and is generally set using a spacer
made from sheath (“Collar Spacer”). If
additional flexibility is required to navigate
a bend, the collar spacer can be removed
and the collar distance can be set with a
tape measure. Operating without a collar
spacer makes it more likely for the cable
to flip over in use and be damaged. Do
not operate carbide cutters without a
collar spacer to reduce risk of cable
damage.
Exposed Cable: Minimize the amount
of exposed cable (cable not covered by
o
sheath). The more exposed cable there
is, the more likely the cable will flip over
in use and be damaged. Exposed cable
should be limited to no more than ¼" (6
mm), and is set with a bushing made from
sheath (“Knocker Bushing”).
Sheath is supplied with the drain cleaner
and is available as a service part to allow
configuration as needed for your specific
application. Only use RIDGID FlexShaft
Drain Cleaner sheath of the correct size
for the cable. Any time sheath is cut, it
should be cut cleanly and squarely. Do
not damage the cable when cutting the
sheath.
3. Chain knocker
s are retained to the cable
with set screws that use a supplied 3 mm
hex key. Loosen set screws and remove
chain knocker, spacer and bushing from
cable.
4. With no knocker installed, hold cable end
away from your body or others. Run machine in REVERSE for 5 seconds to maximize exposed cable. Place switch in
O-OFF position and unplug machine.
Hold sheath and pull on cable to remo
slack and expose maximum amount of
cable.
5. Inspect the sheath end for damage or
wear. The sheath end should be square
and clean. If needed, the sheath end can
be trimmed slightly.
6. If needed, cut a section of sheath to use
as the collar spacer to the appropriate
size (See Collar Distance Chart).

Collar distance can be modified to your
preference for the specific pipe/application. As collar distance increases, the diameter of the chains decreases, and vice
versa. Improperly set collar distance can
reduce the efficiency of pipe cleaning.
7. Test fit the chain knocker, knocker bushing
and collar spacer on the cable as shown
in Figure 7. Chains should be straight – do
not assemble with chains twisted. To prevent excessive cable end wear, cable end
should be flush with the end of the collar.
Check length of exposed cable. To reduce
the risk of cable flip over and damage,
exposed cable cannot exceed ¼" (6 mm).
If needed, cut a knocker bushing from
sheath to limit exposed cable. Always
use a knocker bushing to reduce wear
on the sheath end.
8. With the chain knocker corr
ectly installed
on the cable as shown in Figure 7, use
the supplied hex wrench to securely
tighten the collar set screws. If the set
screws are not secure, the chain knocker
could slip and damage the cable or be
lost down the drain.
Operation Instructions
WARNING
Always use safety glasses and gloves in good
condition while handling or using. Use latex or
rubber gloves, face shields, protective clothing,
respirators or other appropriate protective equipment when chemicals, bacteria or other toxic or
infectious substances are suspected to be present
to reduce the risk of infections, burns or other
serious personal injury.
Do not allow the chain knocker/end of cable to
stop turning while cable assembly is turning.
This can overstress the cable and may cause
twisting, kinking or breaking of the cable assembly
and may result in serious personal injury.
Keep a hand on the cable assembly whenever
the FlexShaft Machine is running. This provides
better control of the cable and helps prevent twisting, kinking and breaking of the cable and reduces
the risk of injury.
Position the FlexShaft Machine cable outlet
within 4' (1.2 m) of the drain inlet or properly
support exposed cable assembly when the distance exceeds 4' (1.2 m). Greater distances can
cause control problems leading to twisting, kinking

or breaking of the cable. Twisting, kinking or breaking cable may cause striking or crushing injuries.
One person must control both the cable assembly and foot switch. If the cable stops rotat-
ing, the operator must be able to turn the tool OFF
to prevent twisting, kinking and breaking of the
cable and reduce the risk of injury.
Follow operating instructions to reduce the
risk of injury from twisted or broken cable,
cable ends whipping around, machine tipping,
chemical burns, infections and other causes.
1. Make sure that machine and work area is
properly set-up and that the work area is
free of bystanders and other distractions.
2. Pull cable assembl
and feed into drain. At least 1' (0.3 m) of
cable must be in drain so that the chain
knocker will not come out of the drain and
whip around when the machine is started.
Directly route the cable assembly from
the machine cable outlet to the drain
opening, minimizing exposed cable and
changes in direction. Do not tightly bend
the cable assembly – this can increase
the risk of twisting or breaking.
If using a camera to view the drain clean-
ing process, the camera can be fed in
at the same time. Typically the cable assembly and the camera push rod can be
gripped and advanced/retrieved at the
same time. Keep the camera at least 1.5’
( 0.5 m) behind the chain knocker.

5. Grasp the exposed cable assembly with
both gloved hands equally spaced and
pull 6"-12" (150mm - 300mm) of cable out
of the drum so that there is a slight bow
in the cable. Gloved hands must be on
the cable to control and support the cable.
Improper cable support can allow the cable
to kink or twist and can damage the cable
or injure the operator. Make sure that the
cable outlet of the drain cleaner is within 4'
(1.2 m) of the drain opening (Figure 8).
6. Move the REV/O-OFF/FOR switch t
o FOR
(Forward) position.
7. Depress the foot switch t
o start the machine. The person controlling the cable
must also control the foot switch. Do not
operate the drain cleaner with one person
controlling the cable and another person
controlling the foot switch. This can lead to
twisting, kinking and breaking of the cable.
8. The FlexShaft Drain Cleaning Machine utilizes high rotational speed and low torque
to clean drains. FlexShaft cable assemblies are more flexible than other types
of drain cleaning cables. The FlexShaft
machine is best used by applying light
pressure and slowly working the chain
knocker into the blockage. It’s important
to let the speed of the chain knocker
clean the drain – do not force chain
knockers into blockages.

9. Advancing/Retrieving the Cable
Assembly – FlexShaft Lubricant
In some cases it may be beneficial to
apply RIDGID FlexShaft lubricant to the
outside of the sheath when feeding the
cable down the drain. This can make it
easier to advance the cable assembly
down the drain and allow greater cleaning distance. If doing so, place a clean
towel with lubricant on it in the palm of the
gloved hand used for advancing the cable
assembly, and apply lubricant as feeding the cable assembly (Figure 9). Add
lubricant to the towel as needed during
the process. RIDGID FlexShaft markings
are printed on the sheath every 5' (1.5
m) to aid in determining how much cable
assembly has been fed from the machine.
Only use RIDGID FlexShaft lubricant.
Other lubricants may not be appropriate
for use in a drain and could contaminate
the water.
When retrieving the cable assembly, it is
good practice to use a towel to wipe dirt
and debris from the cable sheath as it is
pulled from the drain and fed back into
the drum.
10. Rotating the Chain Knock
Generally the chain knocker is rotated for
cleaning while withdrawing the cable.
Only rotate the cable/chain knocker when
the chain knocker is at least 1' in the
drain. To rotate the cable, firmly grip the
cable and depress the foot switch. The
person controlling the cable assembly
must also control the foot switch. Do not
operate the machine with one person
controlling the cable assembly and another person controlling the foot switch.
Do not allow cable assembly to build up
outside the drain, bow or curve. This can
lead to twisting, kinking and breaking of
the cable. At any time, release the foot
switch to stop cable rotation. When clearing blockages, operate the cable at full
speed for best cleaning. Do not force the
chain knocker into blockages. Rotating
the chain knocker in FORWARD or REVERSE for a short time while advancing
the cable assembly can help it negotiate
the drain and blockages.

foot switch to rotate the chain knocker.
Slowly pull the cable assembly from the
drain, allowing the rotating chain knocker
to clean the drain walls and break up the
blockage (Figure 10, Steps 4 & 5). If the
cable stops turning, do not continue
operating the machine. This may cause
the cable to twist and kink. At any time, release the foot switch to stop cable rotation.
Rotating the cable in REVERSE can help
clean the opposite side of the pipe.
Monitor the feedback from the feel of the
cable assembly in your hand and the
sound of the motor/knocker in the drain.
It may be necessary to move the chain
knocker out of the blockage to allow it to
come back up to speed.
If the chain knocker becomes stuck, place
the REV/O-OFF/FOR switch to allow opposite rotation. Grasp the cable with both
gloved hands, press the foot switch for
several seconds and pull on the cable until
it is free of the blockage. Repeat if necessary. In some cases, it may be possible to
pull the cable assembly and the blockage
out of the drain by hand. If this is done, be
careful to not damage the cable assembly.

Maintenance
Instructions
REV/O-OFF/FOR switch should be O-OFF
and machine unplugged before performing any maintenance.
Always wear safety glasses and other
appropriate protective equipment when
performing any maintenance.
Cleaning
It is good practice to use a towel to wipe dirt
and debris from the sheath as the cable assembly is pulled from the drain and fed back
into the drum. This will help to keep the drum
clean and reduce the likelihood of the cable
assembly sticking in the drum. If needed,
cable assembly can be pulled from the machine and the housing opened for flushing/
cleaning.
Clean the machine as needed with hot soapy
water and/or mild disinfectants.
Do not submerge or flush the machine with
water. Do not allow water to enter motor or
other electrical components. Make sure unit is
completely dry before plugging in and using.
Lubrication
The FlexShaft Drain Cleaning Machines are
lubricated for life from the factory.
Cable Re-termination
The Flexshaft cable cannot be shortened or
re-terminated. If the cable is damaged, it must
be replaced. Do not use a damaged cable.
Cable Assembly Replacement
1. Remove chain knocker from cable assembly.
2. Use a 4 mm hex wrench to loosen the
front cover fasteners (they are retained to
the cover and frame). Lift the cover and
unplug the motor wire connector (Figure
