CountPlus Use and Care
• Use equipment only as directed. Do not operate a SeeSnake unless
you have read the owner’s manual and been trained in its use.
• Do not immerse the CountPlus in water. Store in a dry place. This will
reduce the risk of electric shock and instrument damage.
• Store idle equipment out of the reach of children and other
untrained persons. Equipment is dangerous in the hands of untrained
users.
• Maintain the instrument with care.
• Check for breakage of parts, and any other conditions that may
affect the SeeSnake and CountPlus operation. If damaged, have the
instrument serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained tools.
• Protect against excessive heat. The product should be situated away
from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves or other
products (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
Service
Have the CountPlus serviced only by qualified repair persons to ensure the
safety of the unit is maintained.

Tool Inspection
WARNING
Daily before use, inspect the SeeSnake and the CountPlus to reduce
the risk of serious injury from electrical shock or physical injuries!
1. With the SeeSnake unplugged from the monitor unit, inspect the power
cord and plug for damage or modifications. IF any damage or modifica-
tion is found, do not use the tool until it has been properly repaired or
replaced.
2. Clean any oil or grease from the SeeSnake, especially from the frame, to
prevent the unit from slipping from your grip when carrying or positioning
it.
3. Inspect the SeeSnake for any broken, worn or missing, misaligned or
binding parts, or any other condition which might prevent safe, normal
operation. Make sure the cable drum rotates smoothly and the cable
drum friction lock works correctly. Inspect the cable for any signs of
breakage or extreme wear. Inspect the camera head connection and
ensure it is tight. If any problems are found, have them repaired before
using the SeeSnake.
