General Safety Rules
WARNING
Read all safety warnings and in-
structions. Failure to follow the
warnings and instructions may re-
sult in electric shock, fire, and/or
serious injury.
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 explo-
sive atmospheres, such as in the
presence of flammable liquids, gases,
or dust. Equipment can create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
• Keep
children
away while operating equipment.
Distractions can cause you to lose con-
trol.
• Avoid traffic. Pay attention to moving ve-
hicles 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 ground-
ed.
• Do not expose equipment to rain or
wet conditions. Water entering equip-
ment will increase the risk of electrical
shock.
• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the
cord for carrying, pulling, or unplugging
the power tool. Keep cord away from
heat, oil, sharp edges, and moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords increase
the risk of electric shock.

and
bystanders
• If operating equipment in a damp lo-
cation is unavoidable, use a ground
fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protect-
ed supply. Use of a GFCI reduces the
risk of electric shock.
• Keep all electrical connections dry
and off the ground. Do not touch equip-
ment or plugs with wet hands to reduce
the risk of electrical shock.
Personal Safety
• Stay alert, watch what you are doing,
and use common sense when operat-
ing equipment. Do not use equipment
while you are tired or under the influ-
ence of drugs, alcohol, or medication.
A moment of inattention while operating
equipment may result in serious person-
al injury.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose cloth-
ing 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 equip-
ment. To prevent contamination from
toxic or infectious material, do not eat or
smoke while operating or handling drain
inspection equipment.
• Always use appropriate personal pro-
tective equipment when handling and
using equipment in drains. Drains may
contain chemicals, bacteria, and other
substances that may be toxic, infec-
tious, and cause burns or other issues.
Appropriate personal protective equip-
ment always includes safety glasses and
may include a dust mask, hard hat, hear-
ing protection, drain cleaning gloves or
mitts, latex or rubber gloves, face shields,
goggles, protective clothing, respirators,
and steel toed, non-skid footwear.
• If using drain cleaning equipment and
drain inspection equipment at the
same time, wear RIDGID drain clean-
ing gloves. Never grasp the rotating
drain cleaning cable with anything else,
