Best Practices for Underwater Operation
Your Nemo Submersible Hammer Drill is designed to be
waterproof, so that it can be used both on land and underwater. To
obtain the maximum serviceable life of your hammer drill, adhere
to the following best practices when using the hammer drill
underwater:
♦
You must pressurize the hammer drill before you can use it
underwater, as described in
Pressurizing the Hammer Drill for
Underwater Use,
page
12.
♦
Do not exceed the maximum operational depth as
recommended by the manufacturer.
♦
The hammer drill is hi-tech piece of equipment and should be
treated with care. Its watertight seals may be damaged if it is
dropped.
♦
When moving about or working underwater, the hammer drill
should be secured to you by a tool leash at all times.
♦
The hammer drill may be used in salt water.
Note:
After using the hammer drill in salt water,
immediately rinse it in fresh water to remove all salt
residue.
♦
Before storing the hammer drill in the carrying case after use in
water, flush it with fresh water and dry it off.
♦
Treat the high quality battery with care. Keep the battery fully
charged and dry, ready for use, and always store it in the
carrying case when not in use.
♦
Before inserting the battery in to the hammer drill, check that
the three O-rings on the battery are present and undamaged.
Caution:
If any of the O-rings is missing or does not seal
completely, water can enter the hammer drill or
battery, causing serious damage.
