Note:
For operational reasons, not all live parts of the electric arc welding system can be protected from direct contact.
When this protective clothing is used, additional body protectors, e.g. protective gloves,
footwear, eye and face protection and hoods (in case of overhead welding) etc. may be required.
Additional electrical insulation layers will be necessary in situations when there is a higher risk of electrical shock. The clothing is intended
only for protection against short-lasting and non-intentional contact with live parts of the circuit for arc welding. The clothing is designed so
as to provide protection from an accidental short-lasting contact with electric wires with a voltage up to 100 V direct current.
In case when additional clothing products are used to protect selected body parts, the key clothing product should at least meet Class 1
requirements.
The anti-flame protection level will be lower if the protective clothing for welders is contaminated with flammable substances.
An increase of the oxygen content in the air result in a significant reduction of the anti-flame protection properties of the clothing for
welders. Take care while welding in small rooms, e.g. where the atmosphere is likely to get enriched with oxygen.
Electric insulation provided by the clothing will be decreased when the clothing gets damp, soiled or saturated with sweat.
The materials used to manufacture the RINO TEXTILE MAX protective clothing (for a detailed list of models, see Table no 2) have not
been found to contain harmful substances likely to cause allergic reactions; however, if any allergic reaction is shown, particularly by
sensitive persons, they must leave the hazard zone, take off the clothing and consult a doctor.
This user manual is applicable to the following protective clothing models:
Protective blouse for welders (1)
model: RINO TEXTILE MAX
Protective bib-and-brace overalls for welders (2)
model: RINO TEXTILE MAX
Protective waist high trousers for welders (3)
model: RINO TEXTILE MAX
To ensure the required level of protection, the protective blouse (1) must be used together with the protective overalls or trousers (2 or 3).
