Pre-Operation Inspection

WARNING
Before each use, inspect all equipment and correct any
problems to reduce the risk of serious injury from elec-
trical shock or other causes and to prevent damage to
your equipment�
1. Turn the power off, disconnect external power cords, re-
move the battery and inspect all cords, cables, and con-
nectors for damage or modification.
2. Clean any dirt, oil, or other contamination from the CS6
and other equipment to ease inspection and prevent the
unit from slipping from your grip during transportation
or use.
3. Inspect the CS6 for any broken, worn, missing, mis-
aligned or binding parts, or any other condition which
might prevent safe, normal operation.

tions to make sure it is in good, usable condition.
