Important information
- WARNING! Protective equipment: Guide the cable only with a suitable guide glove. Wear protective glasses depending on the application. Wear safety shoes with rubber soles (insulation) during cleaning work.
- ATTENTION! Work area: Place the drain cleaning machine on a straight and non-slip surface. Never place the mains cable in the area of the pipe cleaning cable. Always work with the guide hose.
- WARNING! Maintenance: Disconnect the electric power before making any adjustment, accessory assembly and maintenance. Keep the electric part of the machine from getting wet. Do not immerse the appliance in water when cleaning it.
- WARNING! Before switching the drain cleaner on: Avoid unintentional rotation of the cable. Put the control switch in OFF-Position before connecting the drain cleaner to the power supply. The cable must be removed completely from the holding cage before the machine is turned on. Select the appropriate auger for the blockage and the pipe diameter in order to prevent the auger from hooking and thus the cable from being thrown out of the pipe. Use a camera system to identify the cause of the blockage and select the appropriate tool.
- NOTE! Mechanical pipe cleaning should always be carried out from above, towards the block age.
- WARNING! Do not form a large working arc with the cable. The cable can overturn. The danger of jamming! The cable can jump out of the tube under tension – the risk of injury!

Operation
Working with the cable Ø 16 mm or Ø 22 mm
WARNING
- Set the control switch to “OFF” before assembling the cables, the guide hose and the augers.
- Remove the cable from the holding cage. NOTE! Make sure that the cable end with the snap-lock is guided through the cable outlet so that the clean-ing attachment can be mounted
- Pull the protection hose over the cable from behind and fix it with the locking bolt.
- ATTENTION: Always use the guide hose. It acts as a vibration-damping guide for the cable, as a dirt holder and guard, also as a safety element for the operating personnel and prevents uncontrolled banging!
- Protection hose fixed above cable, locking bolt marked by an arrow
- Select an appropriate auger and securely connect it to the cable with the snap-lock
- Fixing the auger with the snaplock
- To release the snap-lock after cleaning, insert the coupling key into the hole. The coupling key is included in the scope of delivery.
- Then pull the snap-lock apart with two hands.
- NOTE! If necessary, spray the snap-lock with a commercially available rust solvent
- Releasing the snap lock to separate the drill head from the cable
Extend the cable
Release guide hose, locking bolt marked by an arrow
Option 1:
- If you want to extend the cable, pull the end out of the guide hose.
- To do so, pull up the locking bolt on the shaft entrance and pull off the guide hose.
- Connect the next cable piece and push the entire cable length back into the guide hose.
Option 2:
- When the cable has completely run out of the machine, hold the end of the cable firmly or fix it so that it cannot disappear into the pipe.
- Push another cable piece from the front through the machine into the protective hose until only approx. 20 cm protrude from the machine.
- Connect the extension cable to the cable that is already in the tube.

Working with the cable Ø 8 mm/adapter![WOHLER-RM-300-Drain-Cleaning- Machine-FIG-15]](https://manuals.plus/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/WOHLER- RM-300-Drain-Cleaning-Machine-FIG-15.png)
Use an adapter with the 8 mm or 10 mm cable, 5 m length, for narrow pipes or pipe bends.
- To do so, pull the cable approx. 30 cm out of the adapter magazine and push it through the shaft.
- Push the adapter magazine into the shaft entrance and lock it with the bolt
- ATTENTION! Due to the lower stiffness of the 8 mm cable, it should never be used in large pipes or with hard obstacles.

Drain cleaning
- Position the machine max. 50 cm in front of the opening of the pipeline you wish to clean. Ensure that the stand is firm.
- WARNING! Take care that the Wöhler RM 300 and the mains cable are not placed in water.
- Pull the cable out of the Wöhler RM 300 until the cable is prestressed into a bend (working bend).
- WARNING! Do not form a large working arc with the cable. The cable can overturn – the risk of injury!
- Insert the cable approx. 50 cm into the pipeline.
- WARNING! Guide the spiral only with the supplied special safety glove.
- Insert the plug.
- Set the control switch to „For
- Press the handle and the cable will start to rotate. NOTE! As long as you press the handle, it is not possible to move the cable forward or backward.
- Release the handle and push the cable further into the pipeline. Repeat this process until you feel resistance. This means you have reached the blockage.
- When the cable has moved into the pipeline so far that the working bend is relieved, pull the cable out of the machine and form a new working bend.
- ATTENTION! If the movement is very stiff, rotate the cable clockwise and anticlockwise so that it does not jam during locking (clockwise rotation) and releasing (anticlockwise rotation). Make sure that the cable does not get wedged, otherwise, it will be damaged
- Pull the cable out of the tube and clean it with water.
- After using the machine, let it freely rotate for 2-3 minutes.
- Flush and dry the cable and augers. Lubricate them with oil and keep them in a dry place to prevent rusting
Maintenance
Regular maintenance
WARNING! Switch off the machine and disconnect the electric power before making any adjustment, accessory assembly and maintenance.
- Keep the machine well lubricated. Inject the lubrication oil ISO VG 32 into oil holes before and after each use
Lubrication the point marked by an arrow
- Keep the electric part of the machine from getting wet. If water accidentally enters the drain cleaning machine with the cable, remove the cover and remove the water
- Prior to the next use, after being stored for a long time, check the machine for free rotation, then turn on the control switch. If the machine shaft does not rotate after the motor is running or the handle is pressed, there may be rust inside. Turn off the electric power immediately to avoid electric damage. In this case, send it to the service or replace the clamp jaws.
