You let someone else do it. Even the best get a snake stuck sometimes.

Go slow... when you feel it tightening up, slow down and go in reverse

To avoid hanging up your snake always snakewith the flow. Never against it. and if you hear the motor begaining to work too hard STOP!! and put it in reverse while pulling back on the cable. Good luck, Tom
