Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electrical shock, fire, and/or serious injury. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS! Work Area Safety

• Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.

• Do not operate equipment in explo- sive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Equipment can create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.

• Keep children and bystanders away while operating equipment. Distrac- tions can cause you to lose control.

• Avoid traffic. Pay attention to moving ve- hicles when using on or near roadways. Wear high-visibility clothing or reflector vests. Electrical Safety

• Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electrical shock if your body is earthed or ground- ed.

• Do not expose equipment to rain or wet conditions. Water entering equip- ment will increase the risk of electrical shock.

• Keep all electrical connections dry and off the ground. Touching equip- ment or plugs with wet hands can in- crease the risk of electrical shock.

• If operating equipment in a damp lo- cation is unavoidable, use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protect- ed supply. Use of a GFCI reduces the risk of electrical shock. Personal Safety

• Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operat- ing equipment. Do not use equipment while you are tired or under the influ- ence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operating equipment may result in serious injury.

• Dress properly. Do not wear loose cloth- ing or jewelry. Loose clothes, jewelry, and long hair can be caught in moving parts.

• Practice good hygiene. Use hot, soapy water to wash hands and other body parts exposed to drain contents after handling or using drain inspection equip- ment. To prevent contamination from toxic or infectious material, do not eat or smoke while operating or handling drain inspection equipment.

• Always use appropriate personal pro- tective equipment when handling and using equipment in drains. Drains may contain chemicals, bacteria, and other substances that may be toxic, infectious, and cause burns or other issues. Appro- priate personal protective equipment al- ways includes safety glasses and may include a dust mask, hard hat, hearing protection, drain cleaning gloves or mitts, latex or rubber gloves, face shields, gog- gles, protective clothing, respirators, and steel toed, non-skid footwear.

• If using drain cleaning equipment and drain inspection equipment at the same time, wear RIDGID drain clean- ing gloves. Never grasp the rotating drain cleaning cable with anything else, including other gloves or a rag which can become wrapped around the cable and cause hand injuries. Only wear latex or rubber gloves underneath RIDGID drain cleaner gloves. Do not use damaged drain cleaning gloves.CSx Via – English – 5 Battery Use and Care

• Use equipment only with specifical- ly designed battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and/or fire.

• Recharge only with the charger spec- ified by the manufacturer. A charger suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with an- other battery pack.

• Do not cover charger while in use. Proper ventilation is required for correct operation. Covering charger while in use could result in fire.

• Use and store batteries and chargers in dry, appropriate temperature areas according to their documentation. Ex- treme temperatures and moisture can damage batteries and result in leakage, electrical shock, fire, or burns.

• Do not probe the battery with conduc- tive objects. Shorting of battery termi- nals may cause sparks, burns, or elec- trical shock. When the battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal ob- jects, like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or any other small metal object that can make a connection from one terminal to the other. Shorting the battery terminals may cause burns or a fire.

• Under abusive conditions, liquid may eject from battery; avoid contact. If contact occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irrita- tion or burns.

• Properly dispose of batteries. Expo- sure to high temperatures can cause the batteries to explode; do not dispose of in a fire. Some countries have regulations concerning battery disposal. Follow all applicable regulations. Equipment Use and Care

• Do not force equipment. Use the cor- rect equipment for your application. The correct equipment does the job better and more safely.

• Do not use equipment if the power key does not turn it on and off when a compatible, charged battery pack is connected. Any equipment that cannot be controlled with the power key is dan- gerous and must be repaired.

• Store idle equipment out of the reach of children and do not allow per- sons unfamiliar with the equipment or these instructions to operate the equipment. Equipment can be danger- ous in the hands of untrained users.

• Maintain equipment. Check for mis- alignment or binding of moving parts, missing parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition that may affect the equipment’s operation. If damaged, have the equipment repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly main- tained equipment.

• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the equipment in unex- pected situations.

• Use the equipment and accessories in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working con- ditions and the work to be performed. Use of the equipment for operations dif- ferent from those intended can result in a hazardous situation.

• Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease. Clean handles give bet- ter control of the equipment.6 – English – CSx Via Pre-Operation Inspection WARNING To reduce the risk of serious injury from electrical shock or other causes, and to prevent damage to your equipment, inspect all equipment and correct any problems before each use. To inspect all equipment, follow these steps:

1. Power off your equipment.

2. Disconnect and inspect all cords, ca-

bles, and connectors for damage or modification.

3. Clean any dirt, oil, or other contam-

ination from your equipment to ease inspection and to prevent it from slip- ping from your grip during transporta- tion or use.

4. Inspect your equipment for any bro-

ken, worn, missing, misaligned, or binding parts, or any other condition which might prevent safe, normal op- eration.

5. Refer to the instructions for all other

equipment to inspect and make sure it is in good, usable condition.

6. Check your work area for the follow-

• The presence of flammable liq- uids, vapors, or dust that may ig- nite. If present, do not work in area until sources have been identified and corrected. The equipment is not explosion proof. Electrical connections can cause sparks.

• A clear, level, stable, and dry place for the operator. Do not use the equipment while standing in water.

7. Examine the job to be done and de-

termine the correct equipment for the task.

8. Observe the work area and erect bar-

riers as necessary to keep bystanders away.CSx Via – English – 7 Description The RID GID
