Safety Notes
Intended use
This device may only be used in accordance with the regulations as stated.
Universally deployable for the cleaning of all pipes with a Ø 10 – 75 mm (=
Tab. 1) pipe diameter.
Elimination of all obstructions in the drain pipes of sinks, hand wash basins,
showers, bath tubs and toilets.
Special safety instructions
If a drill is being used, the electrical installation must be checked at the workstation before putting into operation the pipe cleaning device. For this purpose please read the information in the operating instructions of the drill!
Accident prevention regulation
Attention! If operating a drill, it is imperative that the crank handle
is removed! Never use a drill without an electronic speed control – danger of
accidents! Only use the counterclockwise rotation of the drill, when the
spiral is secured in the pipe or in the event of its withdrawal!
Attention! Commence cleaning work with low rotational speed and increase
if required!
Description
The ROSPI H+E Plus hand pipe cleaners are designed both for manual crank
operation as well as for electrically driven operation by means of using a
commercially available drill (not included in the scope of supplies). The
flexible spiral, fitted with an extended operating head, is particularly
suitable for using in narrow pipe bends and elbow joints.
Cleaning work in the sanitary area can be carried out without the removal of
sink sieves or sanitary traps.
The closed, impact-resistant plastic spiral container prevents the
accumulation of dirt in the working area.

Overview
- Crank handle
- Spiral with extended operating head
- Spiral clamping chuck / locking screw (ROSPI 6 H+E Plus)
- Spiral pot
Operating
If operating with a drill the crank handle must be removed, the central adapter-retaining pin (hexagon) should be mounted in the drill ( Picture 2 + 3 ).
Pull the spiral out of the spiral container and insert it into the pipe,
which is to be cleaned, until resistance (obstruction) becomes noticeable.
There must still be approx ca. 20 – 30 cm of spiral between the cleaning
device and the pipe opening. Tighten the spiral chuck!
Hold on to the handle on the cleaning device with one hand. Turn the
spiral container to the right with the other hand with the help of the crank
handle (Picture 1), or slowly start an electric, infinitely variable drill in
motion in a clockwise direction (Picture 4).
Increase the rotational speed according to the cleaning problem.
Push the cleaning device with the rotating spiral at intervals against
the obstruction.
Once the spiral has penetrated further into the pipe, stop the rotation
(switch machine off), loosen the spiral chuck, pull the spiral out of the
spiral container again by approx. 30 cm, tighten the spiral chuck and work
again at intervals with the rotating spiral against the obstruction.
**** This process should be repeated for such periods until the obstruction
is eliminated.
Taking out of service
The spiral is now pulled out, in a counterclockwise rotation, section by
section from the pipe and once the clamping chuck has been loosened, pushed
back into the container.
Approx. 10 – 15 cm of the spiral remain outside.
If operating a drill disconnect the power plug from the mains.
Care and Maintenance
It is sensible to remove moisture and dirt arising from the cleaning of pipes
from the spiral before it is pushed back into the spiral container. If this is
not possible, the spiral should be completely pulled out of the container at
regular intervals, cleaned and preserved with “ROWONAL”.
New spirals must be bent at right angles to a length of approx. 10 cm at the
rear end of the spiral, before being inserted into the container.
**** Attention! Disconnect the power plug from the mains prior to all
maintenance and upkeep work!
Do not use any cleaning agents containing solvents for cleaning of the plastic
parts!
