14. Continue feeding rod by following steps 9 through 13
until through an obstruction.
When striking an obstacle that causes
tool to hang-up, do not attempt to force the machine by
manually pushing on the exposed rods. This will cause
kinking and whipping of the rods.

handle. Put machine in reverse gear, squeeze throt-
tle control and pull machine back to release tool.
Only operate machine in reverse to back

ping action of rod could cause serious injury.

gine to idle speed. Be sure all personnel are to the
