Safety precautions when cleaning pipes with a pressure washer
The pipe cleaning nozzle is an important component when using a high-pressure cleaner for pipe cleaning. The jet generated by the rear nozzle peels off the dirt on the pipe wall while generating forward thrust and backward return flow, pushing the nozzle forward and removing the dirt. The pipe cleaning nozzle drives the high-pressure hose forward, and finally completes the pipe cleaning operation.
What we need to pay attention to is that when using a high-pressure cleaner for pipe cleaning operations, it is necessary to avoid personal injury caused by the imbalance of the nozzle operation. The specific preventive measures are as follows:
1. Before construction, carefully check whether the nozzle is blocked. If it is found, it should be dealt with in time.
2. During each construction, put the nozzle into the pipe about 30cm, and then pressurize the nozzle to enter the pipeline. When the nozzle is pulled out of the pipeline after cleaning, the pressure of the high-pressure pump should be adjusted to zero. , so as not to cause the sprinkler to shake and hurt the operator.
In addition, when using a high-pressure cleaner to clean the pipeline, in addition to carefully checking the cleaning equipment, you should also pay attention to the following mechanical injuries in the cleaning operation:
1. Since the iron ladder in the well must be stepped on when going up and down the contact well, the ladder may become loose after a long time. If the operator accidentally falls into the well when climbing, it will cause a safety accident.
2. When using a high-pressure cleaner to clean the pipeline, the high-pressure pipeline on the ground is likely to be run over by vehicles passing by, causing the high-pressure hose to be damaged, and the high-pressure water will be sprayed out and hurt the passers-by.
3. During the cleaning process, if there is no sign at the wellhead, or the well cover cannot be covered in time after cleaning, it may cause passing vehicles and pedestrians to fall into the well, causing injury to personnel and vehicles.
In order to avoid the occurrence of these situations, various warning signs should be set up in the operation area of the high pressure washer to check the reliability of various ladders, and personnel unrelated to cleaning are strictly prohibited from entering the operation area.
