How to use the eyewash includes: open the water inlet control valve or add water to pressurize, remove the dust cover, start the eyewash function, rinse the eyes for at least 15 minutes, close the valve and reset the dust cover after use.
Detailed usage
Preparation
Make sure the water inlet control valve of the eyewash is open. If it is a portable eyewash, add water and gas to the appropriate pressure first.
Check whether the parts of the eyewash are intact and ensure that the equipment is in good condition.
Start the eyewash function
Remove the dust cover or nozzle protection cover to ensure that the water can flow out smoothly.
Gently push the eyewash switch push plate in a clockwise direction, or step on the pedal (if equipped). For portable eyewash, aim the nozzle hole at the eye and press the handle switch.
Rinse the eyes
Open your eyes fully, do not blink or close your eyes, and let the water flow directly rinse your eyes for at least 15 minutes. Lift your eyelids when rinsing to ensure that the water flow fully covers the surface of the eyeball.
If you wear contact lenses, you need to remove them during the flushing process to avoid delays.
Operation after use
Close the water inlet control valve or handle switch, wait for more than 15 seconds, and ensure that the water in the pipe is drained.
Push the push plate back counterclockwise, close the eyewash valve, and reset the dust cover or nozzle protection cover.
Precautions
The eyewash is only used in emergency situations, such as chemicals splashing into the eyes, etc. It is strictly forbidden to use it without authorization in non-emergency situations.
After use, it should be cleaned, disinfected and maintained regularly to ensure that the equipment is always in good condition.
If the eyewash fails, stop using it immediately and contact professional maintenance personnel for repair.
Through the above steps, you can use the eyewash correctly to ensure effective protection of your eyes and face in emergency situations.
