OPERATION SELECTING THE RIGHT FEED AND ROTATION DIRECTION See Figures 3 and 5, pages 13 and 14. The drain auger works best when the direction of feed and the direction of rotation are coordinated properly. For example, when advancing the cable through a drain pipe, the direction of feed collar should be in the forward (F) position and the direction of rotation selector should be in the F/R (forward/ retract) position. Advancing the cable, using any other rotation and feed direction combination will cause the drain auger to underperform. Refer to the Feed and Direction Chart to determine which rotation and feed directions are best for your application.

To manually advance and retract the cable: Lock the switch trigger by placing the direction of rotation selector in the OFF (center lock) position . Pull the feed direction selector collar out and rotate it to the neutral (N) position. Hold the front handle with one hand and advance the cable with the other. Advance the cable to your desired length. To lock the cable in place, leave the feed direction selector collar in the neutral (N) position and push the collar in. NOTE: The cable can't be advanced or retracted while the collar is pushed in and in the neutral (N) position. NOTE: Never run the tool while the collar is pushed in and in the neutral (N) position. Doing so will cause the cable to kink. To retract the cable, pull the feed direction selector collar out, hold the front handle with one hand, and pull the cable back with the other. NOTICE: Do not advance or retract the cable using the switch trigger unless the cable is in a drain pipe. To advance and retract the cable using the switch trigger: Connect the product to an AC or DC power supply. Place the direction of rotation selector in the the F/R (forward/retract) position. Pull the feed direction selector collar out and away from the tool. Rotate the feed direction selector collar to the forward (F) position then push the collar in. Squeeze and hold the switch trigger to advance the cable. Advance the cable to your desired length. To prevent the cable from advancing or retracting, pull the collar out away from the tool, rotate the feed direction selector collar to the neutral (N) position and push the collar in. NOTE: The cable can't be advanced or retracted while the collar is pushed in and in the neutral (N) position. NOTE: Never run the tool while the collar is pushed in and in the neutral (N) position. Doing so will cause the cable to kink. To retract the cable using the switch trigger, place the feed direction selector collar in the retract (R) position, push the collar in, and squeeze the switch trigger. NOTICE: Do not run the drain auger in forward or reverse for extended periods of time. Failure to follow these instructions can result in damage to the tool. REMOVING/INSTALLING AUGER TIPS See Figure 7, page 14. Your drain auger is shipped with a standard bulb tip. This tip is ideal for extracting hair, paper, and other common obstructions. More auger tips are available at www.ryobitools.com and can be used to clear a variety of obstructions. Refer to the Auger Tip Selection Guide for information about which tip to choose. 10 - English
