3.2 Device construction as regards safe operation
Device B22 ZERO fulfils the below statements:
• The tools are constructed and covered to ensure sufficient protection from random contact with life parts.
• The tools in case of common load do not reach excessive temperatures.
• The tool cover provides sufficient level of protection from moisture in compliance with the tools’ classification.
• The tools are constructed in such way the fire hazard, mechanical damage with negative effects on safety or
injury from electrical current was eliminated at the highest achievable level due to abnormal activity.
• The handles are shaped and placed in such way to minimize the hazard of accidental hand contact of the
user with rotary parts.
• The tools have sufficient mechanical solidity and it is constructed to be resistant to rough treatment which
can be expected during common use.
• The parts used for the provision of required level of protection from moisture cannot be removed without the
tool.
• The tools construction does not include asbestos.
• Parts difficult to remove which provide required level of protection from electrical current injury, from
moisture, and from contact with moving parts are reliably attached and resistant to mechanical load which
occurs during common use.
• The handles, buttons, grips, levers, and similar parts are reliably attached to prevent releasing during
common use, if such release could cause danger.
• Parts conducting current and other parts where corrosion could cause hazards, are resistant to corrosion.
• The shafts of the control buttons, grips, levers, and similar parts are not live parts.
• The conductors are protected to prevent the contact with burrs, cooling ribs, etc. which could cause damage
to the insulation of conductors.
• The openings in the metal with passing insulated conductors are fitted with bushing, they are smooth and
with well rounded edges.
• The conductors are effectively protected from contact with moving parts.
• The internal lines and electrical connections between various parts of the tools are sufficiently protected or
covered.
• For indoor lines there are no aluminium conductors. Winding is not considered to be internal line.
• The parts comply with the safety requirements defined in the respective standards IEC within the scope
efficient for the application of the standards.
• If the parts include indicated work characteristics, the conditions for the use of the parts in the tools must
comply with this marking, unless special exception is defined.
• The tools do not include:
- switches or automatic control devices in the moving supplies, RCD are permitted;
- the devices which in case of the tools defect activate the safety device in fixed electrical line;
- thermal fuses which can be again set to the original state by soldering.
• The external parts from non-metal material, part from insulating material which maintain live parts including
the electrical connections in the defined position, and parts from thermoplastic material providing additional
insulation or reinforced insulation which in case of damage could cause the tools incompliant with the
requirements of the standard, must be sufficiently resistant to heat.
• The tools do not emit hazardous radiation and it does not represent toxic or similar hazard.
