approach the pipe, use the front guide tube. If the distance is too long, it
may cause the winding or break off of flexible shaft. Do not operate the
machine while reversing (pressing the forward and reverse rotation button R).
Operating in the (R) state can cause damage to the flexible shaft. The button
(R) is only used to exit the flexible axis in the case of block. Use the guide
hose to prevent the flexible shaft from bringing foreign matter when
jittering. After using detergent in the pipe, avoid direct contact with skin
or eyes. Some detergents can cause severe burns.
The function of this tool is to clean and dredge the pipes. Please follow the instructions in the operation manual. Wrong use can cause injury. Do not use the tool when the handle, switch, grounding plug or fuse is damaged. Poorly maintained tools can cause serious injury.
Product Overview, Specification and Standard Configuration
Product Overview
The handheld pipe dredger, which is used to dredge the 3/4” to 2” of the pipes
such as: kitchen pipes and bathroom pipes. 6002 dredger has an independent
handle to operate the rolling jaw with automatic driving and reversing
mechanism that can achieve automatic advance and retraction of the flexible
shaft to reduce manual operations.
Check before Operation
- Make sure the plug is unplugged.
- Check if the cable plug is damaged.
- Check if the waterproof plug on the drum is installed.
- Check if there are damaged machine parts that may pose a threat to your safety.
- Lubricate the flexible shaft in according to the operation manual.
- Selection of appropriate accessories for pipe dredge can improve the efficiency and quality of dredging.
- Before using, clean up the dirt on handle and the machine body.
- Check if the flexible shaft is worn or damaged. In the cases of worn flat, corrosion and bending deformation, please immediately replace the flexible shaft.
- Check the workplace to ensure sufficient lighting, no flammable liquid, gas or dust. Check the connection of cable and socket to ensure that the cable will not be damaged.
- Do not place the side of the flexible shaft towards the operator or other people.
- Insert the plug into the socket, and confirm that the dredger can easily approach the pipe opening, if the distance is too long, add extension cord.
Notice: Please use the standard power cord.
When using the power tool outdoors, use extension cable marked with “W-A” or
“W\” and the wire insulation layer must be thick enough. These cables are
suitable for outdoor use and can reduce the occurrence of electric shock.
Operating Instructions
Control
Notice: Before using the machine, you must be familiar with the functions
and be proficient in operating it.
Annular jaw
Rotate the locking ring counterclockwise to make the jaw grasp the flexible
shaft and produce a large thrust, so as to facilitate the removal of blocked
garbage and prevent the flexible shaft from retracting into the drum; rotate
the locking ring clockwise to relax the flexible shaft for easy advance and
retract of the flexible shaft.
Notice: When the flexible shaft out of the tool is less than 200mm or
more than 6000mm, it is forbidden to set the locking ring in the locked state.
Otherwise, it will cause the flexible shaft and jaw to be damaged. Be careful
while using it (Fig. 2)
Switch variable speed
Control the speed between 0~560RPM, exert pressure on the switch: the greater
the pressure, the higher the speed.
Switch forward and reverse rotation
This switch can control the steering of the flexible shaft: press the L for
forward rotation and press the R for reverse rotation. Notice: The reverse
rotation is only used to retract the flexible shaft in the trapped state (Fig.
3)
Flexible shaft auto-scaling
- Press the forward and reverse rotation button L: 1) Press the speed switch lightly, move the handle forward to the F position, and the flexible shaft will be delivered forward (Fig. 4);
- Press the speed switch lightly, pull the handle back to the R position, and the flexible shaft will retract backwards (Fig. 5).
- When the operating handle is in the O neutral position, the flexible shaft stops stretching no matter in forward or reverse rotation (Fig. 6)
Pipe dredge (before operation, be familiar with the automatic scaling operation of the flexible shaft, otherwise it will lead to personal injury or damage to the tool)
- Please place the tool head at a distance of less than 150mm away from the pipe opening. If the distance is too long, it will cause the flexible shaft to be twisted and knotted; and do not place the tool head too close to the pipe, which is inconvenient to observe the condition of the flexible shaft (Fig. 7).
- Press the forward and reverse rotation button L, press the speed switch slightly, pull the handle forward to the F position, and the flexible shaft will be delivered forward to start dredging; after dredging the pipe, pull the handle back to the R position to retract the flexible shaft;
- In the cases of blockage or blocked cornering of the flexible shaft, pull back the handle to retract for a certain distance, and then pull forward to deliver again. Repeatedly move forward and backward the operating handle to dredge the pipe and move through the corners. Do not force the delivery of the flexible shaft, otherwise the flexible shaft will twist knotted or be broken and cause serious injury;
- If the blockage is too stubborn, apply the following two methods:
- Rotate the locking ring counterclockwise to obtain a greater thrust. In this case, it is necessary to lightly press the speed switch to closely observe the state of the flexible shaft. If the flexible shaft is obstructed, twisted or knotted, release the speed switch immediately and stop the rotation. Do not force the delivery of the flexible shaft;
- Switch the operating handle in F and 0 positions, and dredge the pipe slowly according to the actual situation. Whether the pipe has been dredged or cannot be dredged, you need to rotate the locking ring clockwise, loosen the jaw, and retract the flexible shaft by the automatic scaling function.
- If the flexible shaft is trapped in the pipe: that is, it cannot dredge or be retracted, press the forward and reverse
rotation button R, and pull the handle forward to retract the flexible shaft.
Notice: Situations of pipe blockage are varied, it is necessary to closely observe the situation of the flexible shaft when using it. If it is distorted or blocked, stop the machine immediately, and then take different operations according to the actual situation. If the pipe cannot be dredged, please ask for professional for help. Do not force the operation and cause unnecessary troubles.
How to replace the flexible shaft
Please check if the power cord plug is unplugged before replacing it 6002 pipe
dredger provides a quick flexible shaft replacement device.
- Place the operating handle in the O position;
- Take out the flexible shaft to expose the connector;
- Unscrew the M4 set screws with an Allen wrench and remove the unwanted flexible shaft (Fig. 8);
- Insert the new flexible shaft into the connector, align the screw holes, and tighten the M4 set screws again;
- Push the flexible shaft manually to the inside of the drum.
Do not start the tool to retract the flexible shaft, because the exposed flexible shaft can lead to unpredictable personal injury, tool damage, damage to indoor objects, fire, electric shock and other dangerous situations. If the flexible shaft cannot be replaced normally, please send it to the designated service center for repair.
Storage and Maintenance of the Machine
After each use, erect the tool with the head down, so that the liquid inside
the drum can flow out. Manually rotate the drum to the waterproof plug to
reveal the shell, and remove the waterproof plug with an Allen wrench. Insert
the waterproof plug in the sleeve hole opening at the end of the tool or keep
it properly for next time (Fig. 9). Please clean the flexible shaft and drum
carefully. If it is not to be used for a long time, please apply butter on the
surface of the flexible shaft to prevent rust.
