OPERATION
SET-UP
MAKE SURE THE MOTOR SWITCH IS IN
THE „OFF‟ POSITION!
1. Place machine at a distance not greater than two feet (.6 m) from
the drain opening. Be sure the Speedrooter Guide Tube (S92-
GT) is in place. If you can't get the machine this close to the
drain opening, run the cable through the optional Guide Tube
Extension (GTE) or a metal guide tube to prevent cable whip-
ping.
Typical Applications
Starting Drill—gets water
flowing.
For Cutting and Scraping
For Cutting—Scraping walls of
&
pipe.
For Cutting Roots
For Cutting Roots
For removing loose objects or
broken cables.
Helps cable get through tight
traps and bends.
Starting Tool, ideal for cutting
and scraping.
Finishing tool, works well in
grease stoppages.
To remove or retrieve loose
objects.
Tool for negotiating around
difficult bends.
2. Position the air
foot pedal for
easy accessibil-
ity. The ma-
chine is de-
signed for one-
person opera-
tion. Be sure
you can quickly
remove your
foot from the
pedal in an
emergency.
3. Lock the wheels by lifting the brake handle located next to the left
wheel and pressing it into the clip.
4. Be sure the motor switch is in the off position.
5. Make sure the Power Cable Feed is set to match the cable size
you have selected. If you're using 3/4" or 5/8" cables, the feed
should be assembled with the raised side of the lower two caps
outward. If you are using 1/2" cables, the feed should be assem-
bled with the raised side of the caps inward.
6. Select the proper cutting tool (See Cutter Application Chart—
Table 2). A good tool to start with is the Spearhead or 2" U-
Cutter. If you are having difficulty getting around a P-Trap or
close bend, try the flexible leader. After the line has been
opened, follow with larger blades, which scrape the inside edges
of the pipe, assuring a real cleaning job.
7. Insert the cutter into the female connector at the end of the cable
and tighten the connecting screw and lock washer firmly in
place.
OPERATION
1. Before stepping on the foot pedal, place the guide tube and cable
into the drain opening.
2. Tighten the knob at top of the Power Cable Feed so that the feed
roller presses against the cable. Be sure not to over tighten since
this could cause excess cable wear.
3. The feed lever controls the feeding rate and direction of the ca-
ble. Move the lever down to feed cable out of drum. The further
the lever is moved downward, the faster the cable will feed out.
Move lever up to retract cable into drum. When the lever is in the
middle (neutral) position, cable will spin in place.

4. Move the motor switch to the forward position.
5. With a gloved hand on the Guide Tube, depress the air foot
pedal to start machine. Feed the cable into the line and against
the obstruction with a firm, even pressure. Adjust the feeding rate
to the resistance met. Do not force the cable - let the cutter do
the work. The job won't go any faster and you could damage the
cable and injure yourself.
