cleaning gloves. Never grasp the ro-
tating drain cleaning cable with any-
thing 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.

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
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 adjust-
ments, changing accessories, or stor-
ing. Preventive safety measures reduce
the risk of injury.
• 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 instruc-
tions, taking into account the work-
ing 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 rec-
ommended by the manufacturer for
your equipment. Accessories that may
be suitable for one piece of equipment
may become hazardous when used with
other equipment.
• Keep handles dry, clean, and free from
oil and grease. Clean handles give bet-
ter control of the equipment.
• Protect the LCD from impacts during
use. Impacts to the front of the LCD can
cause glass breakage and complete fail-
ure of the display.

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.
Extreme 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 ter-
minal to the other. Shorting the battery
terminals may cause burns or a fire.
