Best Practices for Underwater Operation
Your Nemo submersible 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 drill, adhere to the following best practices
when using the drill underwater:
♦
You must pressurize the drill before you can use it underwater,
as described in Pressurizing the Drill for Underwater Use, page
12 .
♦
Do not exceed the maximum operational depth recommended
by the manufacturer.
♦
The drill is a high-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 drill should be
secured to you by a tool leash at all times.
♦
The drill may be used in salt water.
Note: After using the drill in salt water, immediately
rinse it in fresh water to remove all salt residue.
♦
Before storing the drill in the carrying case after use in water,
rinse 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 into the 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 drill or battery, causing
serious damage.
