What happens here

With your leather gloves on, carefully feed the auger head and cable into the drain opening. Once a sufficient length of cable is in the pipe, engage the auger machine, ensuring it is set to the 'forward' direction. Slowly continue to feed the cable into the pipe, allowing the rotating head to work its way through the obstruction. The forward rotation helps the auger head 'screw' into the clog or break it apart. Do not force the cable; let the machine do the work.

Goal: Feed the auger cable into the drain, always running the machine in the 'forward' direction to effectively bore through or engage the clog.
