Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electrical 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 explosive atmo- spheres, such as in the presence of flammable liq- uids, gases, or dust. Equipment can create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes. • Keep children and bystanders away while operat- ing equipment. Distractions can cause you to lose control. Electrical Safety • Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded sur- faces such as pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrig- erators. There is an increased risk of electrical shock if your body is earthed or grounded. • Do not expose equipment to rain or wet condi- tions. Water entering equipment will increase the risk of electrical shock. • Keep all electrical connections dry and off the ground. Touching equipment or plugs with wet hands can increase the risk of electrical shock. • Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carry- ing, 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 elec- trical shock. • If operating equipment in a damp location is un- avoidable, use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protected supply. Use of a GFCI reduces the risk of electrical shock.

Equipment Use and Care • Do not force equipment. Use the correct equipment for your application. The correct equipment does the job better and more safely. • Do not use equipment if the power switch does not turn it on and off. Any equipment that cannot be controlled with the power switch is dangerous and must be repaired. • Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the equipment before mak- ing adjustments, changing accessories, or stor- ing. Preventive safety measures reduce the risk of in- jury. • Store idle equipment out of the reach of chil- dren and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the equipment or these instructions to operate the equipment. Equipment can be dangerous in the hands of untrained users. • Maintain equipment. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, missing parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition that may affect the equipment’s operation. If damaged, have the equip- ment repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained equipment. • Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the equip- ment in unexpected situations. • Use the equipment and accessories in accor- dance with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be per- formed.

Description The RIDGID® SeeSnake® Compact M40 camera reel of- fers fast, easy setup and can take on the most diverse and demanding inspection conditions.The Compact M40 features a self-leveling camera at the end of a moderate- ly stiff cable that offers a good compromise between stiff- ness and the ability to navigate through turns. The FleX mitter® sonde helps locate points of interest in the pipe. FleX mitter sondes have long, powerful antennas capable of putting out a signal strong enough to pinpoint the camera’s location underground, while still preserving its flexibility through turns. All SeeSnake monitors can connect to the Compact M40. Pair it with a SeeSnake CSx™ series Wi-Fi enabled moni- tor to deliver professional multimedia reports to your cus- tomers quickly and easily. The CS6x Versa is specifically designed to mount on the Compact M40’s docking system for viewing ease, quick setup, and effortless transport. TruSense™ Technology Description TruSense technology establishes a two-way communi- cation link between the camera head and a connected CSx series Wi-Fi enabled monitor. Advanced on-camera sensors convey valuable information about the in-pipe environment. Included TruSense Sensors TiltSense™ The TiltSense inclinometer measures the camera’s de- gree of tilt and displays it on a CSx series Wi-Fi enabled monitor, giving you a useful indicator of the camera’s angle as it lays inside the pipe. HDR Image Sensor The high dynamic range (HDR) image sensor expands the camera’s dynamic range, allowing a greater ratio of bright and dark areas to be displayed in the same image at the same time without reducing visibility. The result is superior clarity and detail, allowing you to quickly and easily identify problem areas. Compact M40 Overview
