Tool Use And Care; Service - RIDGID SeeSnake Compact Manuel De L'opérateur

• Prevent object and liquid entry. Never spill liquid
of any kind on the product. To prevent electrical
shock never push objects of any kind into this product
through openings as they may touch dangerous volt-
age points or short to parts that could result in a fire or
electrical shock.
• Make sure the pipe you are going to inspect is not
electrically charged, or hot ! In some cases ground
circuits may be returned to cast iron pipes caus-
ing them to be electrically charged. If you have
any reason to suspect the pipe is hot have it
checked by a qualified electrician before putting
the camera in the line. As sections of pipe joined
with shielded hubless connections or compression
gaskets may be electrically isolated, care should be
taken to check the entire length of any pipe you are
going to inspect.

Tool Use and Care

• Always transport the SeeSnake Compact with the
Monitor Shield closed. This prevents product damage.
• Do not use tool if switch does not turn it ON or
OFF. Any tool that cannot be controlled with the switch
is dangerous and must be repaired.
• Store idle tools out of the reach of children and
other untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in
the hands of untrained users.
• Maintain tools with care. Properly maintained tools
are less likely to cause injury.
• Check for breakage of parts, and any other condi-
tions that may affect the tool's operation. If damaged,
have the tool serviced before using. Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained tools.
• Use only accessories that are recommended by the
manufacturer for your tool. Accessories that may be
suitable for one tool may become hazardous when
used on another tool.
• Inspect tool and extension cords periodically and
replace if damaged. Damaged cords increase the risk
of electrical shock.
• Keep handles dry and clean; free from oil and
grease. Allows for better control of the tool.
• Store tools in dry, shaded place. Such measures re-
duce the risk of electrical shock.
• Protect against lightning. For added protection for
this product during a lightning storm, or when it is
left unattended and unused for long periods of time,
unplug it from the wall outlet. This will prevent damage
to the product due to lightning and power surges.
