When welding, work in the opposite direction from the control console to avoid sparks damaging it.
Any welding and cutting (blow torch) work from the basket on a building’s metallic structures requires the following precautions
to be taken:
A - WITH ELECTRIC WELDING EQUIPMENT
- It is essential that the machine has a discharge braid connecting the platform’s chassis to the ground.
- It is also essential that the external structure to be welded is connected to the earth. If the above conditions are observed,
the platform can, in this case, be in contact with the structure or the elements to be welded without damaging the
electronic components.
- The power supply to the welding equipment must be via an earthed socked and any extension required just also be earthed.
- In all cases, ensure that there are no electrical arcs in the basket or on the platform (contact between the brazing rod or
the torch and the welding equipment’s earth). To ensure this, at any time the welding equipment’s earth must not be
positioned on the platform’s basket but instead only as close as possible to the element to be welded.
- Switch off the welding equipment before disconnecting the earth clamp from the element or elements to be welded.
B - WITH A BLOW TORCH
- Attach the blow torch’s bottles to the basket’s handrails.
- instructions for welding and blow torch work on the external structure
- Do not set the blow torch down on the lip of the basket while it is still operating or point it towards the control console
or its power cables.
