PRODUCT CARE
Please ensure that all strong chemicals or other types of contamination are washed o as soon as
possible. Serious damage may result if certain chemicals, fats & oils are not removed or if the footwear
is not cleaned regularly after use. If the footwear becomes cut or damaged, it will not continue to give
the specied level of protection. To ensure that the wearer continues to receive maximum protection,
any damaged footwear should be immediately replaced. The boot lining should also be wiped with a
mild detergent from time to time. Do not expose the boots to temperatures in excess of 50° C when
drying. The packaging of the footwear used for transportation to customers is designed to protect the
boots until they are used. Storage in extremes of temperatures may aect its useful service life and
should be avoided.
LIMITATIONS OF USE
The Workmaster Dielectric boot is only suitable for use within a temperature range of -20°C to +70°C.
Alternative footwear should be used for applications outside this range. The Workmaster Dielectric
boot has a shelf-life of 10 years. Any boots that have remained unused for a period of 10 years should
be replaced. The date of manufacture is clearly marked on the upper of the boot as detailed overleaf.
MAINTENANCE
On rst use the date should be written in the rectangular box on the side of the boot. Boots should
be visually inspected before being worn, check for cuts and abrasions to the boot. If damage has
occurred the boots should be replaced immediately with new tested/certied Dielectric boots. If the
yellow moulding of the boot can be observed coming through the blue rubber sole this indicates the
rubber sole is worn out and the Dielectric boots should be replaced immediately. After 1 year’s wear
the boots should be electrically re-testing. Respirex International Ltd is a ISO9001/2015 registered
Company can provide retesting if required.. Please contact your local distributor for details.
Dielectric boots should be replaced by tested and certied electrically insulating footwear. The
compounds and processes used in the manufacture of the boots are specialized. Under no
circumstances should uncertied footwear be used for live working or situations where the wearer has
the risk of being exposed to live electric currents or electric elds.
