Remove the rechargeable battery from the inspection camera before carrying
u
out any work on the inspection camera (e.g. assembly, maintenance, etc.) as
well as when transporting and storing the inspection camera.
Remove the batteries from the inspection camera when not using it for longer
u
periods. The batteries can corrode and self-discharge during prolonged storage.
Do not direct the light beam at persons or animals and do not stare into the light
u
beam yourself (even from a distance).
Check the work area before using the inspection camera. No part of the inspec-
u
tion camera may come into contact with electrical cables, moving parts or chem-
ical substances. Interrupt the electric circuit of electrical cables running through
the work area. These measures reduce the risk of explosions, electric shock and
damage to property.
Wear appropriate personal protective equipment like protective goggles, pro-
u
tective gloves or a protective mask, if there are substances harmful to health in
the work area. Sewers or similar areas can contain solid, liquid or gaseous sub-
stances that are poisonous, infectious, corrosive or otherwise harmful to health.
Pay particular attention to cleanliness if you work in areas with substances
u
harmful to health. Do not eat during work. Avoid contact with substances harmful
to health, and clean hands and other body parts that could have come into contact
with them with hot soapy water after work. This reduces the danger to health.
Do not stand in water if you are using the inspection camera. Working in water
u
poses a risk of electric shock.
Do not open the battery. There is a risk of short-circuiting.

from the battery. Contact with this liquid should be avoided. If contact accident-
ally occurs, rinse off with water. If the liquid comes into contact with your eyes,
seek additional medical attention. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irrita-
tion or burns.
The battery can be damaged by pointed objects such as nails or screwdrivers or
u
by force applied externally. An internal short circuit may occur, causing the battery
to burn, smoke, explode or overheat.
When the battery is not in use, keep it away from paper clips, coins, keys, nails,
