• Forward setting:
  The cleaning coil (1) will be moved out

• Neutral setting:
  The cleaning coil (1) will be moved neither out nor in

• Reverse setting:
  The cleaning coil (1) will be moved in

• The direction of rotation switch at setting L:
  The cleaning coil will always turn counter-clockwise as seen from the operator’s posi-tion.

Forward/Neutral/Reverse lever at:

• Forward setting:
  The cleaning coil will be moved in

• Neutral setting:
  The cleaning coil will be moved neither out nor in

• Reverse setting:
  The cleaning coil will be moved out

• Switching on
  Press the On/Off switch (4).

• Switching off
  Release the On/Off switch (4)

Cleaning procedure
Danger!
Always work with the machine as close as possible to the pipe inlet. This will prevent you from coming into contact with the rotating cleaning coil with risk of injury.
To dislodge a blockage in a pipe, work with the machine rotating clockwise. In this case the cleaning coil will work its way – like a corkscrew – into the blockage (e.g. toilet paper etc.) and get caught there. Then you can dislodge the blockage by moving the cleaning coil out and back in again several times using the Forward/Neutral/Reverse lever (2), after which you can remove the cleaning coil from the pipe.

After the blockage has been removed you should check the result with sufficient water, repeating the procedure as often as necessary until the pipe is completely free again.
In the case of blockages that do not get caught up on the cleaning coil (e.g. soap residues), the blockage will be dislodged from the pipe by the rotating cleaning coil and can then be rinsed out of the pipe with sufficient water. In this case too you must repeat the procedure as often or as long as necessary until the pipe is completely free again.
It is also possible to pull out the cleaning coil (1) manually (see Fig. 6). In this case move the Forward/Neutral/Reverse lever (2) to the Neutral setting and then pull the coil out of the machine. If the cleaning coil becomes stuck during the cleaning operation and no longer lets itself be removed from the pipe simply by pulling, move the direction of the rotation switch (3) to the setting L and try again to remove the cleaning coil from the pipe.

Important!
If the drainage has an odor trap, remove it.

Danger!
Do not wear any loose fitting clothes or jewelry. There is a risk of them getting caught up in the cleaning coil or the storage drum! If you have long hair, you should use a hairnet!
Danger!
The contents of the drainage might be infectious and/or contain aggressive substances. It is recommended therefore to wear safety goggles and mouth or face protection!

Cleaning the cleaning coil (1)
When you have finished cleaning the pipe, you should clean and dry the cleaning coil thoroughly with a clean rag before you move it fully into the storage drum for the cleaning coil (5). Any water that might collect in the storage drum for the cleaning coil (5) can be removed from the storage drum for the cleaning coil (5) by opening the cleaning/emptying openings for the storage drum (6) and leaving them open until the drum has dried completely.
If any dirt collects in the storage drum for the cleaning coil (5), you can rinse it out of the drum with clear water by opening the two cleaning/emptying openings for the storage drum (6) and continue rinsing until there is no more dirt in the storage drum for the cleaning coil (5). Then remove all the remaining water from the storage drum for the cleaning coil (5) and leave the two cleaning/emptying openings for the storage drum (6) open until the drum is completely dry.
The two cleaning/emptying openings for the sto-rage drum (6) must be closed again before the machine is used the next time.

Replacing the cleaning coil (Fig. 1.1)

A damaged or worn cleaning coil can be replaced by a new one. To do so, pull the cleaning coil out of the machine until you can see the connecting piece (8). The screw on the connecting piece must be undone. Now you can simply pull off the old cleaning coil (1) and fi t the new one in reverse order. Finally check that the screw on the connec-ting piece (8) is tight. The new cleaning coil (1) can now be moved into the storage drum for the cleaning coil (5).

LED light
Press the On/Off switch (4) to switch on the LED light (7). You will then have a better view of the work area. When you let go of the On/Off switch (4) the light will continue to shine for another 10 seconds or so before it goes out.

Charging the Li battery pack (Fig. 2+3)

1. Remove the battery pack (a) from the handle, pressing the push lock button (b) downwards to do so.
2. Check that your mains voltage is the same as that marked on the rating plate of the battery charger. Insert the power plug of the charger (c) into the mains socket outlet. The green LED will then begin to fl ash.
