Work Area Safety

• Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark
areas may cause accidents.
• Do not operate electrical devices or visual inspection tool in explo-
sive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids,
gases, or heavy dust. Electrical devices or visual inspection tools create
sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
• Do not use the visual inspection tool around corrosive chemicals.
Exposure to corrosive, oily environments can ruin the plastic covering on
the imager head and ruin the picture quality.
• Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating visual
inspection tool. Do not let visitors contact the unit.

• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense. Do
not use visual inspection tool while tired or under the influence of drugs,
alcohol, or medications. A moment of inattention while operating tools
may result in serious personal injury.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
Proper footing and balance enables better control of the tool in unexpec-
ted situations.
• Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, non-skid
safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for appropriate
conditions.
• Use proper accessories. Do not place this product on any unstable cart
or surface. The product may fall causing serious injury to a person or
serious damage to the product.

SeeSnake Micro Use and Care

• Use visual inspection tool only as directed. Do not operate the
SeeSnake Micro unless the owner's manual has been read and proper
training has been completed.

tions that may affect the tool's operation. If damaged, have the tool

cing batteries.
