Personal Safety

• Stay alert, watch what you are doing
and use common sense. Do not use
electrical devices when tired or under the
influence of drugs, alcohol, or medica-
tions. A moment of inattention while oper-
ating an electrical device may result in se-
rious personal injury.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times. Proper footing
and balance enables better control of the
electrical device in unexpected situations.
• Use personal protective equipment.
Always wear eye protection. Dust mask,
non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection must be used for appropriate
conditions.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose cloth-
ing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing,
and gloves away from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can
be caught in moving parts.
Electrical Device Use and
Care
• Do not force electrical device. Use the
correct electrical device for your appli-
cation. The correct electrical device will do
the job better and safer at the rate for
which it is designed.
• Do not use the electrical device if the
switch does not turn it ON and OFF.
Any electrical device that cannot be con-
trolled with the switch is dangerous and
must be repaired.
• Store idle electrical devices out of the
reach of children and do not allow per-
sons unfamiliar with electrical devices
or these instructions to operate the
electrical device. Electrical devices are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
• Maintain electrical devices. Check for
misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts and any other
condition that may affect the electrical
devices' operation. If damaged, have
the electrical device repaired before
use. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained electrical devices.
• Use the electrical device and acces-
sories in accordance with these instruc-
tions, taking into account the working
conditions and the work to be per-
formed. Use of the electrical device for
microEXPLORER
operations different from those intended
could result in a hazardous situation.

Service

• Electrical device service must be per-
formed only by qualified repair person-
nel. Service or maintenance performed
by unqualified repair personnel could result
in injury.
• When servicing an electrical device,
use only identical replacement parts.
Follow instructions in the Maintenance
Section of this manual. Use of unautho-
rized parts or failure to follow maintenance
instructions may create a risk of electrical
shock or injury.

spection camera anywhere that may
contain a live electrical charge. This in-
creases the risk of electrical shock.
