2.2 Basic Risks
The following chapter lists residual risks which remain, even when the device is used in a
proper manner.
To reduce the risk of personal injuries and property damage and avoid dangerous situa-
tions, the safety instructions listed below as well as the safety instructions listed in the
sections to come are to be observed strictly!
Warning!
Risk of blinding by LEDs!
If the camera is outside of a pipe, its LEDs may blind you and others. Therefore:
- Never point the camera light at passing vehicles!
- Never look directly into the camera light or point the camera at an individual’s
eyes!
Warning!
Risk of injury from push rod!
The push rod is a glass-fi ber reinforced plastic rod. By reason of energy stored
in the rod, it may suddenly lash out, e.g. when the rod has gotten stuck.
- Keep the rod as short as possible outside of the pipe to be inspected.
- Reel the push rod in immediately after use.
Caution!
Risk of injury from dirt and scattered objects!
Dirt and scattered objects constitute slip and stumble hazards. Falling accidents
may cause injuries. Therefore:
- Always keep work area clean.
- Remove objects no longer needed from work area, particularly from ground
level.
- Mark unavoidable stumble-risk areas with noticeable tape.
Warning!
Hazard of chemical or biological materials/liquids!
When inspecting pipes that hazardous materials/liquids run through, observe
the following:
- Start the inspection only once it has been determined that no danger will
arise from the materials or liquids.
- Rinse pipes before the inspection with a suitable liquid (e.g. water).
- Adhere to the Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) on the chemical or
biological materials/liquids.
- Clean the push rod thoroughly after each use.
