Choose the Correct Fit
Check that the drain is within the 1/2–2 in application range and follow the auger’s instructions for the fixture and blockage.
Wear the drain-cleaning protection specified by the manual. Identify any chemical drain cleaner already in the line before work.
Installation & Care
Control cable feed and stop if the cable binds or kinks; do not force it through an obstruction. Isolate power before service.
Clean and inspect the cable after use, and store it safely in the drum. The M12 TRAPSNAKE Driver is sold separately.
