OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
FOR INSULATING POLES
ENGLISH
STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS
Insulating poles should be stored in their packaging or sleeve, and placed so they
will not become deformed.
Avoid storing them near sources of light or heat (e.g. heating pipes, radiators,
etc.).
Store between temperatures of -10 °C and +35 °C
TRANSPORT INSTRUCTIONS
When transporting insulating poles they should be carried in transport cases to
minimise wear and tear.
During transport, ensure poles cannot be bumped or scraped against other
materials, and avoid placing heavy objects on top.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Check before operating:
Before use, each pole should be visually inspected by the user.
If there is any doubt about the pole's safety, it should be rejected or checked by
an expert and if necessary subjected to testing.
It is not advised to carry out work involving electrical hazards during times of
rainfall, and in wet conditions it is advisable to use BSC MODEL references.
It is advised to take additional preventive measures, such as wearing a safety
helmet and electrical safety gloves when carrying out work involving electrical
hazards.
For poles made with different sections, these can be changed out for others (of
the same model), provided the sections can be properly identified.
Precautions during use:
Poles should not be exposed unnecessarily to light or heat, and contact with
chemical substances that could affect them (oil, grease, solvents, etc.) should
be avoided. Poles used in rainfall or high levels of condensation should be siliconed
first.
After use the pole should be cleaned, and if possible siliconed.
MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
Poles should be kept clean. If necessary, it is recommended to clean the pole
with silicone.
Users should devise a maintenance programme for poles to ensure they are
kept in good condition.
As manufacturer of insulating poles, SOFAMEL S.L. advises conducting regular
electrical checks every 6 years.
WARRANY: Subject to proper use of the detector, our warranty extends for 24 months from sale. If you need any assistance, please contact our technical services or your SOFAMEL nearest distributor: Tel.: +34 938087980
FEATURES AND USE
Operators should choose the appropriate model of insulating pole depending on the requirements of the task and the level of insulation needed. The minimum lengths of
the pole's insulating elements should be taken into account, in accordance with the provisions of Royal Decree 614/2001 of 8 June on minimum provisions for protecting
the health and safety of workers from electrical risks.
