Pre‑Operation Inspection
WARNING
Before each use, inspect your nanoReel and correct any
problems to reduce the risk of serious injury from electrical
shock or other causes and prevent machine damage�
1� Confirm that the power is OFF� If using the
nanoReel with a camera control unit (CCU) other
than the micro CA‑300, confirm that the CCU is not
connected to the unit� Inspect the system cable and
connectors for damage or modification�
2� Clean any dirt, oil, or other contamination from the
nanoReel to aid in inspection and to prevent the
unit from slipping from your grip during transport
or use�
3� Inspect the nanoReel for any broken, worn, missing,
misaligned, or binding parts, or any other condition
that might prevent safe, normal operation� Confirm
that the unit is properly assembled� Make sure that
the drum turns freely� Inspect the push cable for
any cuts, breaks, kinks, or ruptures�
4� Inspect any other equipment being used to ensure
it is in good, usable condition as specified by the
manufacturer�
5� Correct any problems before use�

Work Area and Equipment Set Up

WARNING
Set up and operate the nanoReel and work area in
accordance with these procedures to reduce the risk of
injury from electrical shock, fire, crushing injuries, and
other causes, and to prevent damage to the nanoReel�
Always wear eye protection to protect your eyes against
dirt and other foreign objects�
1� Check work area for the following:
• Adequate lighting�
• Flammable liquids, vapors, or dust that may ignite� If
present, do not work in area until sources have been
identified and corrected� The nanoReel is not explosion
proof� Electrical connections can cause sparks�
• Clear, level, stable dry place for machine and operator�
Do not use the machine while standing in water� If
required, remove the water from the work area� Ensure
the nanoReel is stable�
• Clear path to electrical outlet if used for monitor, that
does not contain any potential sources of damage for
the power cord�
2� If possible, inspect the work to be done� Determine
the drain access points, sizes, and lengths, and the
presence of chemicals� If chemicals are present,
understand the specific safety measures required
to work around those chemicals� Contact the
chemical manufacturer for required information�
3� If needed, remove fixtures such as the water closet
or sink, to obtain better access�
4� Determine the correct equipment for the application�
The nanoReel is designed for lines no greater than
80 ft [24�4 m] long and for lines with diameters
from 1 in to 3 in [25�4 mm to 76�2 mm]� Consult the
Ridge Tool Catalog at www�RIDGID�com or at www�
RIDGID�eu to find inspection equipment for other
applications�
5� Properly inspect all equipment�
6� Evaluate the work area and use barriers to keep
bystanders away as needed� Bystanders can
distract the operator during use� If working near
traffic, erect cones or other barriers to alert drivers�
