ignite� If present, do not work in area until
sources have been identified and corrected.
The CS1000 is not explosion proof� Electrical
connections can cause sparks�

contain any potential sources of damage for
the power cord, when using external power�
2� Inspect the work to be done� If possible,
determine the drain access point(s), size(s)
and length(s) and presence of drain cleaning
chemicals or other chemicals, etc� If chemicals
are present, it is important to understand the
specific safety measures required to work
around those chemicals� Contact the chemical
manufacturer for required information�
3� Determine the correct equipment for the
application� The CS1000 is made to view and
record inspections done with a SeeSnake
inspection camera� Inspection equipment for
other applications can be found by consulting
the Ridge Tool Catalog, online at http://www�
RIDGID�com or http://www�RIDGID�eu�
4� Make sure all equipment has been properly
inspected�
