Pre-Operation Inspection; Work Area And Equipment Set Up - RIDGID SeekTech ST-33Q+ Operator's Manual

Pre-Operation Inspection

Before each use, inspect the ST-33Q+ and correct
any problems to reduce the risk of serious injury
from electrical shock, fire, and other causes and to
prevent damage to the ST-33Q+.
1. Confirm that the power is off, that any external
power and cords are disconnected, and that all bat-
teries are removed. Inspect the cords, cables, and
connectors for damage or modification.
2. Clean any dirt, oil, or other contamination from the
ST-33Q+ to aid in inspection and to prevent the unit
from slipping from your grip during transport or use.
3. Inspect the ST-33Q+ for any broken, worn, missing,
misaligned or binding parts, or any other condition
which might prevent safe, normal operation.
4. Inspect any other equipment being used according
to its instructions to make sure it is in good, usable
condition.
5. If any problems are found, do not use the equip-
ment until the problems are corrected.

Work Area and Equipment Set Up

WARNING
Set up the ST-33Q+ and work area in accordance
with these procedures to reduce the risk of serious
injury from electrical shock, fire, and other causes
and to prevent damage to the ST-33Q+.
1. Check work area for the following:
• Adequate lighting.
• Flammable liquids, vapors, or dust that may ig-
nite. If present, do not work in area until sources
have been identified and corrected. Equipment
can create sparks which may ignite the dust or
fumes.
• Clear, level, stable dry place for operator to
work. Do not use the equipment while standing
in water.
• Clear path to electrical outlet that does not con-
tain any potential sources of damage for the
power cord when using external power.
2. Assess the target line to determine the best way to
apply the signal. The line must be metal (conduc-
tive) in order to have a signal applied to it using the
ST-33Q+. If using the transmitter on insulated con-
ductors, ground the target conductor at each end to
ensure that the signal will be strong enough to lo-
cate.
The ST-33Q+ is not designed to provide high volt-
age insulation or protection. Do not use where a
danger of high voltage contact is present.
3. Determine the correct equipment for the applica-
tion.
4. Make sure all equipment has been properly inspect-
ed.
5. Evaluate the work area and determine if any barri-
ers are needed to keep bystanders away. Bystand-
ers can distract the operator during use. If working
near traffic, erect cones or other barriers to alert
drivers.
