FlexShaft™ Drain Cleaning Machines

Figure 7 – Selecting Proper Mode

When using the FlexShaft Drain Cleaning

Machines, always start with the adjustable

clutch set to approximately 25% of the total

clutch adjustment range (example – if the

torque adjustment collar on the drill is marked

from 1 to 20, the initial setting should be 5).

Operate the drain cleaner per these instruc-

tions. When clearing blockages, operate drill

at full speed for best cleaning. Do not force

the chain knocker into the blockage – if the

chain knocker cannot turn, it cannot clean

the drain. The chain knocker may need to be

moved away from the blockage to come back

up to speed. If during operation the drill clutch

continuously releases (“clutches out”), release

the drill switch and withdraw the cable from the

drain. Review the drain cleaner set up and op-

eration and confirm everything is correct – an

important part of the set up for proper opera-

tion is chain knocker selection (See Figure 9

for details) and adjustment. Make any needed

changes and continue cleaning drain.

If the drill clutch continues to release during

operation, the drill adjustable clutch setting

can be increased. The drill clutch can be in-

creased in steps up to 75% of the total clutch

adjustment range. (example – if the torque

adjustment collar on the drill is marked from 1

to 20, the maximum setting should be no more

than 15). Do not exceed 75% of the total

clutch adjustment range. Never place drill

in “Drill” ( ) or “Hammer” ( ) mode –

this disables the adjustable clutch. This

increases the risk of cable damage in the

drum of the drain cleaner.

If the drill clutch continues to release when set

at 75% of the total clutch adjustment range,

consider using another RIDGID drain cleaning

machine.

means that the drill will only turn when the

operator is depressing the drill switch. If the drill

switch is released, the drill will turn OFF. Set

drill in “FOR” rotation (see Figure 4).

Drill Speed

When using your FlexShaft Drain Cleaning

Machine, the required rotational speed range

is 1800 – 2500 rpm. Cleaning will be optimized

by rotating the chain knockers closer to the

2500 rpm maximum. To do this, know your bat-

tery powered drill specifications and settings to

optimize operation. Many battery powered drills

have multiple speed settings, and typically the

highest speed is in the range for operation of

the FlexShaft equipment. See Figure 6 for an

example of drill speed settings. Do not operate

the FlexShaft drain cleaning machine at over

2500 rpm.

Drill Adjustable Clutch Setting

Always use a battery powered drill equipped

with a properly set adjustable clutch. This will

help reduce the risk of cable damage in the

drum of the drain cleaner and reduce handle

forces.

Battery powered drills equipped with adjustable

clutches will typically have a torque adjustment

collar (Figure 6) marked with a scale in num-

bers starting at one and increasing to indicate

increasing torque at clutch disengagement.

The adjustable clutch is many times used for

driving screws, and may have a selector that

needs to be set to the “Screw Driving Mode”

( ) for the adjustable clutch to work. When

the adjustable clutch releases, the motor con-

tinues to turn but the drill chuck does not. Many

times this is accompanied by vibration/noise

from the drill.

Battery powered drills are often also equipped

with “Drill” ( ) and “Hammer” ( ) modes

of operation (Figure 7). In these modes, the

adjustable clutch does not work, and these

modes should never be used for FlexShaft

Drain Cleaning Machine operation.
