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 explosive atmo-
spheres, 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 operat-ing equipment. Distractions can cause you to lose
control�
Personal Safety
• Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operating equipment. Do not use
equipment while you are tired or under the influence of
drugs, alcohol, or medication� A moment of inattention
while operating equipment may result in serious injury�
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing 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 equipment� To
prevent contamination from toxic or infectious material, do not eat or smoke while operating or handling
drain inspection equipment�
• Always use appropriate personal protective equip-
ment 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� Appropriate personal protective equipment always includes safety glasses and
may include a dust mask, hard hat, hearing protection,
drain cleaning gloves or mitts, latex or rubber gloves,
face shields, goggles, protective clothing, respirators,
and steel toed, non-skid footwear�
• Avoid traffic. Pay attention to moving vehicles 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 grounded�
• Do not expose equipment to rain or wet condi-tions. Water entering equipment will increase the risk
of electrical shock�
• Keep all electrical connections dry and off the ground. Touching equipment or plugs with wet hands
can increase the risk of electrical shock�
• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for car-
rying, pulling, or unplugging the power tool� Keep cord
away from heat, extreme cold, oil, sharp edges, and
moving parts� Damaged or entangled cords increase
the risk of electrical shock�
• If operating equipment in a damp location is un-
avoidable, use a ground fault circuit interrupter
(GFCI) protected supply. Use of a GFCI reduces the
risk of electrical shock�
• If using drain cleaning equipment and drain in-
spection equipment at the same time, wear RIDGID
drain cleaning 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�
• Do not force equipment. Use the correct equipment
for your application� The correct equipment does the
job better and more safely�
Battery Use and Care
• Use equipment only with specifically designed
battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may
create a risk of injury and/or fire�
• Do not use equipment if the power switch does not turn it on and off. Any equipment that cannot be controlled with the power switch is dangerous and must
be repaired�
• Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or
the battery pack from the equipment before making adjustments, changing accessories, or storing.
Preventive safety measures reduce the risk of injury�
• Store idle equipment out of the reach of children
and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the equipment or these instructions to operate the equipment. Equipment can be dangerous in the hands of
untrained users�
• Maintain equipment. Check for misalignment or bind-
ing 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 maintained equipment�
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times� This enables better control of the equipment in unexpected situations�
• Use the equipment and accessories in accordance
with these instructions, taking into account the
working conditions and the work to be performed.
Use of the equipment for operations different from
those intended can result in a hazardous situation�
• Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your equipment. Accessories
that may be suitable for one piece of equipment may
become hazardous when used with other equipment�
• Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack�
• Do not cover charger while in use. Proper ventila-
tion is required for correct operation� Covering charger
while in use could result in fire�
• Use and store batteries and chargers in dry, ap-
propriate temperature areas according to their
documentation. Extreme temperatures and moisture
can damage batteries and result in leakage, electrical
shock, fire, or burns�
• Do not probe the battery with conductive objects.
Shorting of battery terminals may cause sparks, burns,
or electrical shock� When the battery pack is not in use,
keep it away from other metal objects, 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 irritation or burns�
• Properly dispose of batteries. Exposure to high tem-
peratures can cause the batteries to explode; do not
dispose of in a fire� Some countries have regulations
concerning battery disposal� Follow all applicable regulations�
• Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease. Clean handles give better control of the equipment�
• Protect the LCD from impacts during use. Impacts
to the front of the LCD can cause glass breakage and
complete failure of the display�
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, cables, and con-
nectors for damage or modification�
3� Clean any dirt, oil, or other contamination from your
equipment to ease inspection and to prevent it from
slipping from your grip during transportation or use�
4� Inspect your equipment for any broken, worn, miss-
ing, misaligned, or binding parts, or any other condition which might prevent safe, normal operation�
5� Refer to the instructions for all other equipment to in-
spect and make sure it is in good, usable condition�
6� Check your work area for the following:
• Adequate lighting�
• The presence of flammable liquids, vapors, or
dust that may ignite� 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 determine the cor-
rect equipment for the task�
8� Observe the work area and erect barriers as neces-
sary to keep bystanders away�
