SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES FOR 

POWERED FISH TAPE

• Do not use on or near live circuits. When working

near electrical equipment, use extreme caution. 

When pulling through conduit which contains any  

other wires, be certain that power to those wires 

 Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected

from the battery; avoid contact. If contact ac-

cidentally  occurs,  flush  with  water.  If  liquid

contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help.

Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation

or burns.

 Follow all charging instructions and do not charge 

the battery pack or tool outside the temperature

Charging

range may damage the battery and increase the risk 

 

Maintain  proper  footing  and  balance  when

performing pulling operations. Do not pull from 

a ladder. 

If a snag or resistance is encountered, a 

ladder could become unstable which may result in 

a loss of balance or control.

WARNING

Some dust created by power sanding, 

sawing, grinding, drilling, and other 

construction activities contains chemicals known to 

cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive 

harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:

• 

 

• lead from lead-based paint

• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other

masonry products, and

• arsenic  and  chromium  from  chemically-treated

lumber.

 Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on 

how often you do this type of work. To reduce your 

exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated 

area, and work with approved safety equipment, such 

as those dust masks that are specially designed to
