Tools with protective insulation

For safe application up to 1000 volts

What are 1000 V tools?

• Tools with protective insulation have a special protective
insulation and must be tested according to IEC 60900.
• The standard also prescribes the marking with
the manufacturer name, model and article no.
and year of manufacture. Tools with protective
insulation are identified by the "Double triangle"
logo and the 1000 V specification.
• All requirements stipulated in the DIN ISO
for the torque, forces and hardness, for
example, must be complied with.

Special HAZET 1000 V protective insulation

• HAZET tools with protective insulation normally have a
two-tone multilayer safety insulation, i.e. a red layer on
the outside and a yellow layer on the inside. This design
supports the building regulation BGV A3 (VBG-4)
• The insulation must not exhibit any visual damage. If the
inner yellow insulation layer is visible anywhere, the tool
must be disposed of immediately, since there is a risk
of electric shock. It is no longer possible and extremely
dangerous to work with the power connected.
• Tools with protective insulation whose insulation
has been technically sprayed on only have a
single layer of red insulation. For safety reasons,
the user should therefore check that the
insulation is intact before starting work with the
power connected to guarantee their safety.

Things to know before working with 1000 V tools

Here are some safety precautions for your own protection and safety:

• All work under electrical voltage must only be carried out by trained
specialist personnel
• Only tools and equipment that have the "Double triangle" and 1000 V icon
on them (see also building regulation BGV A3) are permitted
• Every time before starting work, the insulation must be checked for damage
• Dispose of damaged tools or ensure that they are NO LONGER used for work under voltage
• Comply with regulations from professional associations, etc. and/or power supply companies
• HAZET 1000 V tools ensure safe and risk-free work up to 1000 V
AC (alternating voltage) and 1500 V (direct voltage)
