General Safey Rules
WARNING
Read all safety warnings and instructions. Failure to follow
the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock,
re, and/or serious injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!
Work Area Safety
yKeep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or
dark areas invite accidents.
yDo not operate equipment in explosive atmospheres,
such as in the presence of ammable liquids, gases,
or dust. Equipment can create sparks which may ignite
the dust or fumes.
yKeep children and bystanders away while operating
equipment. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
Electrical Safety
yAvoid body contact with earthed or grounded
surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges, and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electrical
shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
yDo not expose equipment to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering equipment will increase the risk of
electrical shock.
yDo not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying,
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 electric shock.
yIf operating equipment in a damp location is
unavoidable, use a ground fault circuit interrupter
(GFCI) protected supply. Use of a GFCI reduces the
risk of electric shock.
yKeep all electrical connections dry and off the
ground. Do not touch equipment or plugs with wet
hands to reduce the risk of electrical shock.
Personal Safety
yStay alert, watch what you are doing, and use
common sense when operating equipment. Do not
use equipment while you are tired or under the inuence
of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention
while operating equipment may result in serious personal
injury.
yUse personal protective equipment. Always wear eye
protection. The appropriate use of protective equipment
such as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, a hard hat,
and hearing protection will reduce personal injuries.
yDo not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at
all times. This enables better control of the equipment in
unexpected situations.
yDress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry.
Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving
parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, and long hair can be
caught in moving parts.

Equipment Use and Care
yDo not force equipment. Use the correct equipment for
your application. The correct equipment will do the job
better and safer at the rate for which it is designed.
yDo 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.
yDisconnect the plug from the power source and/or
the battery pack from the equipment before making
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing.
Preventive safety measures reduce the risk of injury.
yStore idle equipment out of the reach of children 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.
yMaintain 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 equipment repaired
before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained equipment.
yUse the equipment and accessories in accordance
with these instructions; taking into account the
working conditions and the work to be performed.
Use of the equipment for operations different from those
intended could result in a hazardous situation.
yUse only accessories that are recommended by the
manufacturer for your equipment. Accessories that
may be suitable for one piece of equipment may become
hazardous when used with other equipment.
yKeep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease.
This allows for better control of the equipment.
Battery Use and Care
WARNING
Read the battery charger manual before using the charger
or batteries. Failure to read, understand and follow the
contents of the charger manual may result in extensive
property damage, severe personal injury, or death.
yRecharge only with the charger specied by the
manufacturer. A charger suitable for one type of battery
pack may create a risk of re when used with another
battery pack.
yUse equipment only with specically designated
battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may
create a risk of injury and re.
yDo not probe battery with conductive objects.
Shorting of battery terminals may cause sparks, burns,
or electrical shock. When the battery pack is not in use,
keep it away from other metal objects, like paper clips,
coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects
that can make a connection from one terminal to another.
Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns
or a re.
yUnder abusive conditions, liquid may eject from
battery; avoid contact. If contact occurs, ush with
water. If liquid contacts eyes, seek medical help. Liquid
ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
yUse and store batteries and chargers in dry,
appropriate temperature areas. Extreme temperatures
and moisture can damage batteries and result in leakage,
electrical shock, re or burns. See charger manual for
more information.
yDo not cover charger while in use. Proper ventilation
is required for correct operation. Covering charger in use
could result in re.
yProperly dispose of batteries. Exposure to high
temperatures can cause the batteries to explode; do not
dispose of in a re. Some countries have regulations
concerning battery disposal. Follow all applicable
regulations.
Service
Ensure a qualied repair person services your equipment
using only identical replacement parts to maintain the
safety of the tool. Remove the batteries and refer servicing
to qualied service personnel under any of the following
conditions:
yIf liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into product.
yIf the product does not operate normally when following
the operating instructions.
yIf the product has been dropped or damaged.
yWhen the product exhibits a distinct change in

increases the risk of electrical shock.
yThe CS1000 is not waterproof. It is dust resistant and
splash-resistant. Only the camera and push cable are
waterproof. Do not expose the equipment to water or
rain. This increases the risk of electrical shock.
yDo not use where a danger of high voltage contact is
present. The equipment is not designed to provide high
voltage protection and isolation.
yRead and understand this operator’s manual, the
reel operator’s manual, the instructions for any
other equipment in use and all warnings before
operating the CS1000. Failure to follow all instructions
and warnings may result in property damage and/or
serious personal injury.
yAlways use appropriate personal protective
equipment when handling and using equipment in
drains. Drains may contain chemicals, bacteria, and
other substances that may be toxic, infectious, cause
burns or other issues. Appropriate personal protective
equipment always includes safety glasses and may
include drain cleaning gloves or mitts, latex or rubber
gloves, face shields, goggles, protective clothing,
respirators, and steel toed footwear.
yIf using drain cleaning equipment at the same time
as drain inspection equipment, only wear RIDGID
drain cleaning gloves. Never grasp the rotating drain
cleaning cable with anything else, including other gloves
or a rag. They can become wrapped around the cable
and cause hand injuries. Only wear latex or rubber
gloves under RIDGID drain cleaner gloves. Do not use
damaged drain cleaning gloves.
yPractice good hygiene. Use hot, soapy water to wash
hands and other body parts exposed to drain contents
after handling or using drain inspection equipment. Do not
eat or smoke while operating or handling drain inspection
equipment. This will help prevent contamination from
toxic or infectious material.
The information supplied with this product cannot cover
all possible conditions and situations that may occur,
and should be used in conjunction with appropriate
training, sound judgment, and good work practices.
These factors cannot be built into the product, but must
be supplied by the operator.

Description, Specications, and
Standard Equipment
Description
The CS1000 is designed to provide a convenient accessible
portal for all your pipe inspection, recording, monitoring,
and report generation needs. Use the CS1000 with RIDGID
SeeSnake reels and cameras to make a complete inspection
system.
The CS1000 will help you organize your inspections by
grouping all the associated still photos, videos, autolog
videos, text notes, job location information, and customer
information into “Jobs.” Jobs give you a convenient way to
transfer inspection data from the CS1000, and they form
the basis for creating “Reports” in the CS1000. As you work
with your CS1000, Jobs are automatically assembled from
the information you collect during the inspection process;
making organization easy to understand.
Your CS1000 is fully compatible with SeeSnake HQ.
SeeSnake HQ is a new report generating software that you
can use to quickly generate customized reports for your
customer that can then be emailed, printed, burned onto
DVD, or exported for viewing online. You can download the
latest version of SeeSnake HQ for free at www.hq.seesnake.
