How to use

Insert the drain cable into the affected drain opening while keeping a firm grip on the auger body. Rotate the feed mechanism to advance the cable into the pipe until resistance is felt at the blockage. Apply steady, controlled rotation and, if possible, occasional push-pull motion to engage and break up the obstruction. Once the blockage is cleared, retract the cable while maintaining rotation to bring debris back into the sink or catch basin, then dispose of collected material and rinse the cable and tool components with water and appropriate cleaning agents.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as gloves and eye protection. Avoid using the auger in pipes with fragile or severely corroded material; inspect pipe condition before operation. Clean and dry the tool after use to prevent corrosion and perform periodic checks of moving parts for wear.
