Use the tool only as directed. Do not operate the tool unless theuser’s manual has been read thoroughly and proper training has
been completed.
The display unit is not waterproof. The imager head and cable
are waterproof, but not acid-proof or fireproof. Avoid
submersing the imager head and cable into corrosive, oily
places and be sure to keep the imager head and cable away fromhigh temperature objects.
Do not immerse the tool and display unit in water. Suchmeasures reduce the risk of electric shock and damage.

anywhere that may contain a live electric charge or moving
parts, which increases the risk of electric shock or entanglement
injuries.
Do not use the tool for personal inspection or medical use in any
way. This is not a medical tool.
Do not eat or smoke while operating the tool. Use hot, soapy
water to wash hands and other body parts exposed to draincontents after using the tool to inspect drains and other areasthat may contain chemicals or bacteria, which will help prevent
contamination with toxic or infectious material.
When the inspection is completed, carefully withdraw theimager head and cable from inspection area.
Store idle components out of the reach of children and otheruntrained persons.
Maintain the tool with care. Properly maintained tools are lesslikely to cause injury.
