• It is not permitted to use the isoweld®Backpack as a safety harness or wear
the isoweld®Backpack over a safety harness, under any circumstances.
Non-observance involves the risk of dealth or injury, damage to the tool and
damage to the processed material.
Safety instructions
• Keep your workplace tidy. An untidy workplace increases the risk
of accident.
• Keep children at a safe distance. Do not allow third parties to touch
the machine or the cable.
• It is imperative to comply with the safety regulations in the
respective country.
• Always wear the correct personal protective equipment when
working. Personal protective equipment includes: safety goggles,
safety gloves, safety shoes, closely fitting working clothes.
• When working on a roof it is possible for the tool or the operator to
accumulate a static charge. For this reason, we recommend that
anti-static clothing and anti-static shoes be worn and/or the use of
anti-static sprays.
• The induction welding tool and the magnets may have an effect on
the function of cardiac pacemakers and implanted defibrillators. It
is possible that cardiac pacemakers switch to test mode and cause
discomfort. It is possible that defibrillators cease to function. If you
are fitted with any such instruments, you must keep a minimum
distance of 20 inches (50 cm) from the inductor (also hand
inductor) and the magnets. You must warn persons fitted with such
instruments against coming too close to the magnets and inductors.
• Do not hold any objects containing metal in the direct proximity of
the inductor (e.g. watches, jewelry, keys, mobile phones, hearing
equipment, implants etc.).
• The isoweld®stress plates become very hot due to the induction
process. There is a risk of burns when touching the stress plates
immediately following the welding process.
• Take account of environmental influences. Do not expose the
induction welding tool to rain. Do not use the induction welding
tool in damp or wet conditions. Ensure that you have good lighting.
Do not use the induction welding tool in the proximity of flammable
liquids or gases.
• Connect the tool to a socket with protective ground conductor. Any
breakage/disconnection of the protective conductor inside or
outside of the tool is potentially dangerous! Only use extension
cables with an earth conductor!
• The mains voltage must be as stated on the generator type plate.
• When the tool is used on building sites, the RCD switch is a
mandatory requirement for personal protection.
• Place the electric cable (supply cable) in a suitable location. Ensure
that it does not constitute a trip hazard and does not wear through.
Regularly check the electric cable, inductor cable and temperature
cable for damage.
• In the open, only use extension cables approved and marked for
this purpose.
