SECURITY
Security
A good use of our material requires the respect of security instructions. These instructions are complementary to usual precautions that users need to respect according to the requirements of their profession and company, and of the current regulations in their own country.
Protection
Safety glasses are required for all types of work that can cause dust, splinters, or light flashes… Gloves protect you from cuts, burns, shocks…
The right routines
Maintaining a good balance is important, especially in cases of efforts that require the use of strength, such as traction and releasing efforts. Maintaining the right position during lifting operations is important for your back: remember to keep your back straight and to bend your legs.
Electricity
A 1000-volts equipment is essential to work with material with voltage switched on or in the vicinity of such material. When you work with powered voltage, this is the only equipment that provides the required insulation.
