Advantages of the G100 Glove Inflator
a)Portability: The G100 is compact and portable, making it easy to use in various locations, whether in the field or a workshop.
b)Versatility: Comes with an additional G100A adapter, allowing inspection of smaller gloves, including Class 00 and 0, which enhances its usability across different glove sizes.
c)Ease of Use: The design ensures a simple and straightforward operation, similar to the G99 model, making it accessible even for those with minimal training.
d)Secure Inspection: The nylon strap with a hook and pile closure securely attaches the glove to the adapter, ensuring a reliable and effective inflation process for inspection.
e)Effective Inspection: By inflating the gloves, the G100 allows for thorough inspection, helping to detect any potential leaks, tears, or weak spots that could compromise safety.
f)Enhanced Safety: Regular and proper inspection of insulated gloves using the G100 ensures they remain in optimal condition, providing critical protection for electrical workers.
How to work with Electriflex™ gloves
1.Pre-Use Inspection: Always inspect Electriflex™ gloves for any signs of wear, damage, or defects before each use. Look for tears, punctures, or degradation that could compromise safety.
2.Proper Fit: Ensure the gloves fit snugly but comfortably on your hands. A proper fit is crucial for maintaining the flexibility and dexterity that Electriflex™ gloves offer.
3.Use with Leather Protectors: For added mechanical protection, wear leather glove protectors over Electriflex™ gloves. This combination protects against cuts, abrasions, and punctures without sacrificing flexibility.
4.Safe Handling of Energized Components: When working with energized components or lines, rely on the gloves’ flexibility and dexterity to safely manipulate tools and equipment, reducing the risk of accidents.
5.Minimize Hand Fatigue: The ergonomic design of Electriflex™ gloves helps minimize hand fatigue, allowing you to work longer with less discomfort. Take breaks as needed to prevent strain.
6.Optimize Work Efficiency: Use the gloves’ enhanced dexterity to handle small components, perform intricate tasks, and operate tools with greater precision and control.
7.Post-Use Care: After use, clean the gloves according to the manufacturer’s guidelines. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and chemicals to maintain their integrity.
8.Regular Testing and Replacement: Periodically test the gloves for insulation integrity, and replace them as needed to ensure continuous protection.
