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.
