General Power Tool Safety

Warnings*

WARNING

Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations

and specications provided with this power tool.

Failure to follow all instructions listed below may

result in electric shock, re and/or serious injury.

SAVE ALL WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS

FOR FUTURE REFERENCE!

The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your

mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated

(cordless) power tool.

Work Area Safety

• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark

areas invite accidents.

• Do not operate power tools in explosive atmo-

spheres, such as in the presence of flammable

liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks

which may ignite the dust or fumes.

• Keep children and bystanders away while operating

a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose

control.

Electrical Safety

• Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never

mod ify the plug in any way. Do not use any adap-

ter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools.

Unmodi fied plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk

of electric shock.

• Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded

surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and

refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electrical

shock if your body is earthed or grounded.

• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet condi-

tions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk

of electrical shock.

• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for

carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool.

Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or

moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase

the risk of electric shock.

• When operating a power tool outdoors, use an

extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of

a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of

electric shock.

• If operating a power tool in a damp location is

unavoidable, use a ground fault circuit interrupter

(GFCI) protected supply. Use of a GFCI reduces the

risk of electric shock.

Personal Safety

• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use com-

mon sense when operating a power tool. Do not

use a power tool while you are tired or under

the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A

mo ment of inattention while operating power tools may

result in serious personal injury.

• Use personal protective equipment. Always wear

eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust

mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing

protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce

personal injuries.

• Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch

is in the OFF-position before connecting to power

source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying

the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the

switch or energizing power tools that have the switch

ON invites accidents.

• Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turn-

ing the power tool ON. A wrench or a key left at-

tached to a rotating part of the power tool may result

in personal injury.

• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance

at all times. This enables better control of the power

tool in unexpected situations.

• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or

jewelry. Keep your hair, and clothing away from

moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can

be caught in moving parts.

• If devices are provided for the connection of dust

extraction and collection facilities, ensure these

are connected and properly used. Use of dust

collection can reduce dust-related hazards.

• Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of

tools allow you to become complacent and ignore

tool safety principles. A careless action can cause

severe injury within a fraction of a second.

Power Tool Use and Care

• Do not force power tool. Use the correct power 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 power tool if the switch 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 the battery pack, if detachable, from the power

tool before making any adjustments, changing ac-

cessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive

safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power

tool accidentally.

K-4310 FXP Drum Machine

• Store idle power tools out of the reach of children

and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the

power tool or these instructions to operate the tool.

Power tools are 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 main-

tained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less

likely to bind and are easier to control.

• Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean

and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and

grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and

control of the tool in unexpected situations.

• 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. The use of the power tool for operations

different from those intended could result in a hazard-

ous situation.

Battery Tool Use And Care

• Recharge only with the charger specified by the

manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type

of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used

with another battery pack.

• Use power tools only with specifically designated

battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may

create a risk of injury and fire.

• When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from

other metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys,

nails, screws or other small metal objects that can

make a connection from one terminal to another.

Shorting the battery terminals together may cause

burns or a fire.

• Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected

from the battery; avoid contact. If contact acci-

dentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts

eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected

from the battery may cause irritation or burns.

• Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged

or modified. Damaged or modified batteries may ex-

hibit unpredictable behavior resulting in fire, explosion

or risk of injury.

• Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or ex-

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 chemicals, bacteria and other sub-

stances 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 cleaner 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 hands away from rotating drum. Do not reach

into drum unless battery or adapter is removed.

Hand may be caught in the moving parts.

• Keep glove-covered hand on the cable whenever

the machine is running. This provides better control

of the cable and helps prevent twisting, kinking and

breaking of the cable that may result in serious per-

sonal injury.

• Position machine cable outlet within 3' (0.9 m) of

the drain inlet or properly support exposed cable

when the distance exceeds 3' (0.9 m). Greater dis-

tances 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 operate the machine in REV (reverse) rota-

tion except as described in this manual. Operating

in reverse can result in cable damage and is used to

back (unscrew) the cable end out of blockages.

• 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 operator or machine

is standing in water. Operating machine while in

water increases the risk of electrical shock.

• Do not let the use or monitoring of the control

panel distract you from controlling the cable and

drain cleaning process. Inattention to the cable and

process can cause you to lose control and increases

the risk of serious injury.

• Do not use if there is the risk of contact with other

utilities (such as natural gas or electric) during

operation. Visual inspection of the drain with a camera

is a good practice. Cross bores, improperly placed

cessive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature

above 265 °F (130 °C) may cause explosion.

• Follow all charging instructions and do not charge

the battery pack or tool outside the temperature

range specified in the instructions. Charging im-

properly or at temperatures outside the specified range

may damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.

Service

• Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair

person using only identical replacement parts.

This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is

maintained.

• Never service damaged battery packs. Service

of battery packs should only be performed by the

manufacturer or authorized service providers.

* Sound measurements are measured in accordance with a standardized test per

Standard EN 62481-1.

- Sound emissions may vary due to your location and specific use of these tools.

- Daily exposure levels for sound need to be evaluated for each application and

appropriate safety measures taken when needed. Evaluation of exposure lev-

els should consider the time a tool is switched off and not in use. This may

significantly reduce the exposure level over the total working period.

** Cable Travel Tolerance – this tolerance assumes that the correct cable pa-

rameters are entered (cable diameter, cable length and drum) and that the full

cable length is in the drum (the cable end is no more than 6" (150 mm) out of

the end of the AUTOFEED cable feed unit) when the cable travel is zeroed.

Incorrect cable parameters and zeroing the cable travel with cable out of the

drum results in a greater cable travel tolerance, in some cases up to +/- 8 ft

(+/-2.5m). Cable travel does not necessarily equal distance the cable end has

traveled in the drain.

Standard Equipment

All K-4310 FXP Drum Machines comes with one pair of

RIDGID Drain Cleaning Gloves. Refer to the RIDGID cata-

log for details on equipment supplied with specific machine

catalog numbers.

This machine is made to clean drains. If prop-

erly used it will not damage a drain that is in good condi-

tion and properly designed, constructed and maintained.

If the drain is in poor condition, or has not been properly

designed, constructed and maintained, the drain cleaning

process may not be effective or could cause damage to the

drain. The best way to determine the condition of a drain

tered using the control panel (or RIDGID Link App, if

connected).

1. Move the main ON/OFF switch to ON position.

2. Toggle Between cable size selection using Cable

Diameter Selector Button (see Figure 2/3). When

selected, the screen will return to home screen after

3 seconds.

3. Toggle between cable length selection using Cable

Length Selector Button (see Figure 2/3). When se-

lected, the screen will return to home screen after 3

seconds.

4. Move the main ON/OFF switch to OFF position.

NOTE: These settings will be saved and will not need

updated unless a different drum/cable is used.

This feature does not work with cables not listed

on the display. Incorrect cable information will

decrease the cable travel accuracy.

Monitoring And Recording Drain

Cleaning Information

The advance display and control panel allows monitoring

of the cable travel in and out of the drum. The zero point

is set by depressing the cable travel reset “Zero” button.

See Figure 2. For best results the calibration should

be performed with no more than 6" (150 mm) of cable

outside the drum. Remember that cable travel is always

relative to the zero point. If the cable is reset with more

than 6" (150 mm) out of the drum the cable travel reading

may be off by more than +/-2' (+/- 0.6 m).

Confirm that the cable information on the Control Panel

matches the cable being used. Incorrect cable informa-

tion can affect the accuracy of the travel readings. Do not

let the use or monitoring of the control panel distract you

from controlling the cable and drain cleaning process.

Inattention to the cable and drain cleaning process can

with. The setting of the unit can be checked by looking

at the front of the unit, see Figure 9. The slot aligns with

the cable size.

Figure 9 – Checking AUTOFEED Unit Setting

To change setting between 5/8" and ¾".

1. Loosen the AUTOFEED adjustment knob.

2. Use a flat blade screwdriver in cam slot to rotate both

cams (see Figure 9). If using 11 /16" cable, use the 5/8"

setting.

Attaching Front Guide Hose (Optional

Equipment for use with AUTOFEED Unit)

1. Pull approximately 4' of cable from the drum.

2. Slide Front Guide Hose over the cable, adapter end

ous injury.

The Record button is used to start and stop recording.

Recording will also stop when ON/OFF switch is moved

to OFF position.

Recorded information includes cable travel and motor

amp draw information versus time. The K-4310 FXP Drum

Machine will hold 50 recordings. When 50 recordings are

reached, new recordings will overwrite the oldest record-

ings. Additional recordings can be stored via the RIDGID

Link App. Recorded information can be accessed and

managed through the RIDGID Link App - see the RIDGID

Link App Connection (Wireless Communication) section

for further information.

Hibernation Mode

When running on battery power, if the ON/OFF switch

is ON and the machine is not used for 15 minutes, it will

move into “Hibernation Mode” to conserve battery charge.

In Hibernation Mode, the display and tool status lights will

turn off and the machine cannot be used until the ON/

OFF switch is cycled OFF and back ON. See Figure 4.

If a Job Recording is active while the machine is in

Hibernation Mode, the in-progress recording will be saved.

When the machine is turned back ON, a new recording

will need to be started.

Pre-Operation Inspection

WARNING

Before each use, inspect your K-4310 FXP Drum

Machine and correct any problems to reduce the

risk of serious injury from electric shock, twisted

or broken cables, chemical burns, infections and

other causes and prevent machine damage.

Always wear safety glasses, RIDGID drain cleaning

gloves, and other appropriate protective equipment

when inspecting your machine.

1. Inspect the RIDGID drain cleaning gloves or mitts

(“gloves”) (Figure 12). Make sure they are in good

condition with no holes, tears or loose sections that

could be caught in the rotating cable. It is important

not to wear improper or damaged gloves. The gloves

protect your hands from the rotating cable. If the

gloves are not RIDGID drain cleaning gloves or

are damaged or worn out, do not use machine

until RIDGID drain cleaning gloves are available.

Wear latex or rubber glove inside the RIDGID drain

cleaning gloves to protect against drain contents.

Figure 12 – RIDGID Drain Cleaning Gloves – Leather, PVC

2. Make sure that the main ON/OFF switch is set to the

OFF position and remove battery/power adapter.

3. Clean the drain cleaning machine, including handles

and controls. This aids inspection and helps prevent

the machine or control from slipping from your grip.

Clean and maintain the machine per the mainte-

nance instructions.

4. Inspect the machine for the following:

• Proper assembly, maintenance and completeness.

• Any broken, worn, missing, misaligned or binding

parts.

• Rotate the drum and make sure that it turns freely

without binding.

• Smooth and free movement of the AUTOFEED

lever throughout range.

• Presence and readability of warning labels (Fi gure 1).

• Any other condition which may prevent safe and

normal operation.

If any problems are found, do not use the drain clean-

ing machine until the problems have been repaired.

5. Clean any debris from the cable and cutting tools.

Inspect cables for wear and damage. Inspect for:

• Obvious flats worn into the outside of cable (cable

is made from round wire and the profile should be

round).

• Multiple or excessively large kinks (slight kinks up

to 15 degrees can be straightened).

• Space between cable coils indicating that the

cable has been deformed by stretching, kinking, or

running in reverse (REV).

• Excessive corrosion from storing wet or exposure

to drain chemicals.

All these forms of wear and damage weaken the

cable and make cable twisting, kinking or breaking

more likely during use. Replace worn and damaged

cable before using drain cleaning machine.

11

K-4310 FXP Drum Machine

999-995-420.10_REV A

12

Inspect the cable couplings for wear and damage.

Confirm that coupling plunger pins move freely and

fully extend for positive retention. If needed, lubricate

with a light oil.

Make sure the cable is fully retracted with no more

than 6" (150mm) of cable outside of the machine.

This will prevent whipping of the cable at start up.

6. Inspect the tools for wear and damage. If necessary,

replace prior to using the machine. Dull or damaged

cutting tools can lead to binding, cable breakage, and

slow the drain cleaning process.

7. Inspect and maintain any other equipment being

used per its instructions to make sure it is functioning

properly.

8. Make sure that the main ON/OFF switch is set to the

OFF position.

9. Following the Machine and Work Area Set-Up,

install a fully charged battery or power adapter into

machine. If using the power adapter, confirm that the

GFCI works correctly.

10. Following the Operating Instructions, check the ma-

chine for proper operation. No more than 6" (150

mm) of cable should be out of the machine.

• Turn the main ON/OFF switch to the ON position

and move the FOR/OFF/REV switch into the FOR

position. Press and release the foot switch and note

the direction of rotation of the drum. Let drum come

to complete stop. If the foot switch does not control

the machine operation, do not use the machine

until the foot switch has been repaired. The drum

should rotate counter-clockwise when viewed

from the front of the drum and will match the drum

direction shown on the drum in Figure 19.

• Place the FOR/OFF/REV switch into the REV

position and repeat above testing to confirm that

the drain cleaning machine operates properly in

reverse. If the rotation is not correct, do not use the

machine until it has been repaired.

11. With the inspection complete, move the FOR/OFF/

REV switch into the OFF position and turn the main

ON/OFF switch to the OFF position. With dry hands

remove battery/power adapter from the machine.

Machine and Work Area Set-Up

WARNING

Set up the K-4310 FXP Drum Machine and work

area according to these procedures to reduce the

risk of injury from electric shock, re, machine

tipping, twisted or broken cables, chemical burns,

infections and other causes, and prevent machine

damage.

Always wear safety glasses and other appropriate

protective equipment when setting up your drain

cleaning machine.

1. Check for an appropriate work area. Operate in a

clear, level, stable, dry, well-lit location. Do not use

the drain cleaning machine while standing in water.

2. Inspect the drain to be cleaned. If possible, determine

the 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 clean-

ing chemicals or other chemicals, etc.

If chemicals are present in the drain, it is important to

understand the specific safety measures required to

work around those chemicals. Contact the chemical

manufacturer for required information.

Confirm no other utilities are present in the drain or

area to reduce the risk of damage. Visual inspection

of the drain with a camera is a good practice.

If needed, remove fixture (water closet, etc.) to allow

access to the drain. Do not feed the cable through a

fixture. This could damage the cable and the fixture

3. Determine the correct equipment for the application.

See Specifications. Drain Cleaning Machines for

other applications can be found by consulting the

Ridge Tool Catalog, online at RIDGID.com.

Inner-Core Cable is not recommended for use

through P-Traps and severe bends in lines smaller

than 4". Optional 24" flexible trap leaders can be

added to aid users through traps and tight clean-outs.

4. Make sure all equipment has been properly in-

spected.

5. If machine is equipped with an AUTOFEED unit,

confirm that it is set to proper size for the cable being

used (see Figure 9).

K-4310 FXP Drum Machine

999-995-420.10_REV A 13

6. If needed, place protective covers in the work area.

The drain cleaning process can be messy.

7. Transport the drain cleaning machine to the work

area along a clear path. Adjust handle if necessary

(Figure 13). Move handle 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.

Figure 13 – Adjusting Telescoping Handle

8. Position the machine so it sits squarely and firmly. The

machine cable outlet must be within 3' (0.9 m) of the

drain access.

Greater distances from the drain access increases

the risk of cable twisting or kinking. If the machine

cannot be placed within proper distance of the drain

access, extend the drain access with similar sized

pipe and fittings (See Figure 14). Improper cable

support can allow the cable to kink and twist and can

damage the cable or injure the operator.

Figure 14 – Example of Extending Drain to within 3' of the

Machine Cable Outlet

9. Select proper cutting tool for the conditions.

If the nature of the obstruction is unknown, it is good

practice to use a straight or bulb auger to explore the

obstruction and retrieve a piece of the obstruction for

inspection.

Once the nature of the obstruction is known, an

appropriate tool can be selected for the application.

A good rule of thumb is to start by running the small-

est available tool through the blockage to allow the

water to start flowing and carry away the debris and

cuttings as the drain is cleaned. Once the drain is

open and flowing, other tools appropriate for the

blockage can be used. Generally, the largest tool

used should be no bigger than the inside diameter of

the drain minus one inch.

Proper tool selection depends on the specific circum-

stances of each job and is left to the user’s judgment.

A variety of other cable attachments are available

and are listed in the “Optional Equipment” section of

this manual. Other information on cable attachments

can be found in the RIDGID Catalog and online at

RIDGID.com.

10. Securely install cutting tool on the end of the cable

(See Figure 15). If the connection is not secure, the

tool may fall off during use. As the tool is installed,

make sure that the spring-loaded plunger in the

coupling moves freely to retain the tool. If the pin

sticks in the retracted position, the tool may fall off in

use.

11. Evaluate the work area and determine if any barriers

are needed to keep bystanders away from the ma-

chine and work area. The drain cleaning process can

be messy and bystanders can distract the operator.

12. Position the foot switch for easy accessibility. You

must be able to hold and control the cable, control

the foot switch, and reach the FOR/OFF/REV switch.

13. Confirm that the FOR/OFF/REV switch is in the OFF

position and that the main ON/OFF switch is OFF.

Installing/Removing Battery or Power

Adapter

14. With dry hands, insert a fully charged battery or

power adapter into the battery port on the machine.

Do not plug power adapter in until inserted into the

machine.

The machine has a latch to secure the battery or

power adapter. The latch will engage when the

battery or power adapter is inserted. Confirm secure

by lightly pulling on the battery and ensure that it

does not separate from the tool.

To remove the battery or power adapter, depress the

latch and slide out of the machine. See Figure 16.

Figure 16 – Battery Latch (Handle Removed for Clarity)

Operating Instructions

WARNING

Always wear eye protection to reduce the risk of

eye injury.

Always wear RIDGID drain cleaning gloves in good

condition. Latex or loose tting gloves or rags can

become wrapped around the cable and may result

in serious personal injury. Only wear latex or rubber

gloves under drain cleaning gloves. Do not use

damaged drain cleaning gloves.

Always use appropriate personal protective equip-

ment while handling and using drain cleaning

equipment. Drains may contain chemicals, bacteria

and other substances that may be toxic, infectious,

cause burns or other issues. Appropriate person-

al protective equipment always include safety

glasses and drain cleaning gloves, and may include

equipment such as latex or rubber gloves, face

shields, goggles, protective clothing, respirators

and steel toed footwear.

Do not allow the cutter to stop turning while the

machine is running. This can overstress the cable

and may cause twisting, kinking or breaking of

the cable. Twisting, kinking or breaking cable may

cause striking or crushing injuries.

Keep glove covered hand on the cable whenever

Figure 17 – Proper Operating Position

3. Move the ON/OFF switch to the ON position. Move

the FOR/OFF/REV switch to the FOR (FORWARD)

position. Do not depress the foot switch yet. “FOR”

and “REV” refers to the drum/cable rotation and not

to the direction of cable movement. Do not rotate

the cable in REV (reverse) except as specifically

described in these instructions. Running the machine

in REV can damage the cable.

Figure 18 – Cable Movement in FOR (Forward Rotation)

NOTE: If Machine is set for REV (Reverse Rotation) AUTO-

FEED advance and retrieve direction are opposite.

the machine is running. This provides better control

of the cable and helps prevent twisting, kinking and

breaking of the cable. Twisting, kinking or breaking

cable may cause striking or crushing injuries.

Position machine cable outlet within 3' (0.9 m) of

the drain inlet or properly support exposed cable

when the distance exceeds 3' (0.9 m). Greater dis-

tances 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 foot switch and

cable. If the cutter stops rotating, the operator

must be able to release the foot switch to pre-

vent twisting, kinking and breaking of the cable.

Twisting, kinking or breaking cable may cause

striking or crushing injuries.

Follow operating instructions to reduce the risk of

injury from twisted or broken cables, 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 out of drum and feed into drain. If needed,

loosen AUTOFEED knob. Push cable as far into drain

as it will go. At least one foot (.3 m) of cable must be

in drain so that the end of the cable will not come out

of the drain and whip around when the machine is

started.

Directly route the cable from the outlet of machine

to the drain opening, minimizing exposed cable and

changes in direction. Do not tightly bend the cable

– this can increase the risk of twisting or breaking.

Assume a proper operating position to help maintain

control of the cable and machine (see Figure 17):

• Be sure you can control the ON/OFF action of the

foot switch and can quickly release the foot switch

if needed. Do not press foot switch yet.

• You must be able to place at least one RIDGID

drain cleaning glove covered hand on the cable to

always control and support the cable.

• Be sure that you have good balance, do not have

to overreach, and cannot fall on the foot switch,

machine, the drain or other hazards.

• You must be able to reach the main ON/OFF switch

and FOR/OFF/REV switch.

This operating position will help to maintain control of

the cable and machine.

K-4310 FXP Drum Machine

Operation

When using the K-4310 FXP Drum Machine, cable can

be fed either manually or using the AUTOFEED unit.

Generally, you can switch back and forth between oper-

ating methods as needed.

Advancing The Cable Into The Drain

Manual Operation

Confirm that at least one foot (0.3 m) of cable is in the

drain. Grasp the exposed cable with both gloved hands

equally spaced (Figure 20A) and pull 6"-12" of cable out

of the drum (Figure 20B) so that there is a slight bow in

the cable. Gloved hands must be on cable to control and

support the cable. Improper cable support can allow the

cable to kink or twist and can damage cable or injure the

operator. Make sure that the cable outlet of drain cleaning

machine is within 3' (0.9 m) of the drain opening.

Depress the foot switch to start the machine rotating

in the FOR direction. The person controlling the cable

must also control the foot switch. Do not operate the

drain cleaning machine with one person controlling the

cable and another person controlling the foot switch. This

can lead to twisting, kinking and breaking of the cable.

Advance the rotating cable into the drain. The rotating

cable will work its way into the drain as you push on the

cable with gloved hands (Figure 20C). Do not allow the

cable to build up outside the drain, bow or curve. This can

allow the cable to twist, kink or break.

When the cable has been fed into the drain opening, pull

6"-12" more cable from the drum and continue feeding

the rotating cable into the drain.

Passing Through Traps Or Other

Transitions

If it is difficult to get the cable through a trap or other fit-

ting, the following methods or combinations of methods

can be used.

• Sharp thrusts of the cable, both with and without the

cable rotating, can help the cable through a trap.

• In some cases, with the switch in the OFF position,

rotating the drum by hand can change the orientation of

the cutter to allow it to negotiate the fitting more easily.

• Run the machine in REV (REVERSE) rotation for

several seconds while pushing on the cable. Only do

this long enough to get the cable started through the

trap. Running the cable in reverse can damage the

cable.

• Use a flexible leader between the tool and the cable.

If these options don’t work, consider using a smaller di-

ameter or more flexible cable, or a different RIDGID drain

cleaning machine.

Cleaning The Drain

As you advance the cable into the drain, you may see

the cable slow down or build up outside the drain. Always

keep your hands on the cable. You may feel the cable

start to wind or load up (this may feel like the cable is

starting to twist or squirm, see Figure 22.) This may be

a transition in the drain (trap, elbow, etc.), build up in

the drain (grease, etc.) or the actual blockage. Advance

the cable slowly and carefully. Do not let cable build up

outside the drain. This can cause the cable to twist, kink

or break.

Figure 22 – Cable Shape When Unloaded, Loaded

Pay attention to the amount of cable that has been fed

into the drain. Feeding cable into a larger drain, septic

tank or similar transition may cause the cable to kink or

knot and prevent removal from the drain. Minimize the

AUTOFEED Cable Feed Operation

Confirm that the AUTOFEED unit is set up for the correct

cable size, see “Adjusting AUTOFEED Unit For Cable

Diameter” section.

With at least one foot (.3 m) of cable is in the drain. Tight-

en the AUTOFEED knob (Figure 18) so that the roller

touches the cable plus one additional turn. Do not over-

tighten the knob – this can cause premature failure of the

AUTOFEED unit or cable.

Grasp near the center of the exposed length of cable

with a gloved hand (Figure 21). Gloved hand 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 cleaning machine is within

3' (0.9 m) of the drain opening. Place the other hand

on the AUTOFEED lever. The lever should be in neutral

(Vertical) position (see Figure 19).

See “Using Machine With A Front Guide Hose” if using

a guide hose.

Depress the foot switch to start the machine rotating in

the FOR direction. The person controlling the cable must

also control the foot switch. Do not operate the machine

with one person controlling the cable and another per-

son controlling the foot switch. This can lead to twisting,

kinking and breaking of the cable. With the cable rotating,

move the AUTOFEED control lever in the opposite direc-

tion that the cable rotates (See Figure 19). This will cause

the cable to advance out of the machine. The further the

control lever from the neutral position, the faster the cable

will advance.

The rotating cable will work into the drain as you control

the cable with your gloved hand. Do not allow the cable

to build up outside the drain, bow or curve. This can allow

the cable to twist, kink or break.

amount of cable fed into the transition to prevent prob-

lems.

If an additional length of cable is needed, see the section

“Adding Additional Cable”.

Working The Blockage

If the end of the cable stops turning, it is no longer clean-

ing the drain. If the end of the cable becomes lodged in

the blockage and power is maintained to the machine,

the cable will start to wind up (this may feel like the cable

is starting to twist or squirm). Having a hand on the cable

allows you to feel this wind up and control the cable. If

the cable end stops turning or if the cable starts to wind

up, immediately pull the cable back from the obstruction:

• Manual Operation – pull back on the cable to free the

cable end from the blockage.

• AUTOFEED Unit Operation – move the AUTOFEED

lever to retrieve direction to free the cable end of the

blockage.

Do not keep the cable rotating if the cable is stuck in a

blockage. If the cable end stops turning and the drum

keeps rotating, the cable can twist, kink or break.

Once the cable end is free of the blockage and turning

again, you can slowly feed the cable end back into the

blockage. Do not try to force the cable end through the

blockage. Let the spinning end “dwell” in the blockage

to completely break it up. Work the tool in this manner

until you have moved completely past the blockage (or

blockages) and the drain is flowing. Manual operation is

usually the best choice if the cable repeatedly gets stuck

when using the AUTOFEED unit. If using an AUTOFEED

unit machine manually, the AUTOFEED knob may need

to be loosened, and the AUTOFEED lever placed in the

neutral position.

While working the blockage, the cable and tool may

become clogged with debris and cuttings from the block-

age. This can prevent further progress. The cable and

tool need to be retrieved from the drain and the debris

removed. See section on “Retrieving the Cable”.

Handling A Stuck Tool

If the tool stops turning and the cable cannot be pulled

back from the blockage, immediately release the foot

switch while firmly holding the cable. Do not remove

hands from cable or cable may kink, twist and break.

The motor will stop and the cable and drum may turn

backwards until the energy stored in the cable is relieved.

Do not remove hands from cable until the tension is

released. Place FOR/OFF/REV switch in OFF position.

Do not move the main ON/OFF switch to OFF position if

recording, this will cause a data interruption and may not

allow chart generation.

Freeing A Stuck Tool

If the tool is stuck in the blockage, with the FOR/OFF/

REV switch in the OFF position and the foot switch re-

leased, try pulling the cable loose from the blockage. If

the tool will not come free from the blockage, place the

FOR/OFF/REV switch in REV position. 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 block-

age. Do not operate the machine in the REV position any

longer than required to free (unscrew) the cutting tool

from the blockage or cable damage can occur. Place the

FOR/OFF/REV switch in the FOR position and continue

cleaning the drain.

Retrieving The Cable

Once the drain is open, start a flow of water down the

drain to flush the debris out of the line. This can be done

by running a hose down the drain opening, turning on a

faucet in the system or other methods. Pay attention to

the water level, as the drain could plug again.

With water flowing through the drain, retrieve the cable

from the line. The flow of water will help to clean the cable

as it is retrieved. The FOR/OFF/REV switch should be

in the FOR position – do not retrieve the cable with the

switch in the REV position, this can damage the cable.

As with feeding the cable into the drain, cables can be

caught while being retrieved.

• Manual Operation – With both gloved hands equally

spaced on the exposed cable for control, pull 6”-12”

lengths of cable from the drain at a time and feed it into

the drum.

• AUTOFEED Unit Operation – With one hand near

the center of the exposed length of cable, move the

AUTOFEED lever to the retrieve position. The rotating

cable will work its way out of the drain and back into the

drum.

Continue retrieving cable until the cable end is just inside

the drain opening. Release the foot switch and allow the

machine to come to a complete stop. Do not pull the end

of the cable from the drain while the cable is rotating. The

cable can whip around and cause serious injury. Pay at-

tention to the cable during retrieval as the cable end can

still become stuck.

Place the FOR/OFF/REV switch in the OFF position. Pull

the remaining cable from the drain with gloved hands

and feed back into the machine. Place the main ON/OFF

switch in the OFF position.
