Problem
Cable kinks or breaks.
Cable tangles in drum.
Drum stops while foot pedal de-
pressed.
Drum turns in one direction but not
other.
Ground fault circuit interrupter trips
and will not reset.
Motor turns but drum does not.
Failure to feed.
Probable Cause
Operator forcing the cable.
Too much slack between machine and

Cable used in wrong size drain line.
Cable exposed to acid.
Operator forcing the cable.
Machine running in reverse.
Hole in pedal or hose.

cord.
Short circuit in motor.
Faulty ground fault circuit interrupter.

Feed misadjusted.
Feed roller frozen.
Worn cable.
Solution
Do not force the cable. Let the cutter do the work.
Allow no more than two feet between machine and drain.
A cable that is too large or too small in diameter for a line is
more likely to kink. (Consult Table 1—Cable Applications.)
Clean and oil cables regularly.
Do not force the cable. Let the cutter do the work.
Do not run the machine in reverse to retract the cable from the
drain.
Replace as required.
If no hole found in pedal or hose, replace diaphragm switch.
Allow motor to cool, then press motor reset button.
Replace switch. Note: Momentary contact switch must be held
in position to use reverse.
Replace cords.
Take motor to authorized repair center.
Replace ground fault circuit interrupter.
Do not force cable.
Do not run machine in reverse. Use proper cable size. (Consult
Cable Application Chart—Table 1).
If feed tension knob is too loose the cable will slip. If it is too
tight the feed rollers will wear prematurely.
Clean and lubricate feed rollers regularly. Replace worn rollers.
When cable coils wear flat, cable should be replaced.
