armorgard PWS6 Power Station

Welcome to your Armorgard PowerStation, your solution to on-site secure charging. The PowerStation range means tools can be charged safely and securely, on any site.
Please read this user manual carefully prior to operating the PowerStation.

Looking after your locker

  • Under normal use, all that is required to keep your lockers looking good is an occasional wipe with a duster. The use of liquids such as bleach or solvents is not recommended, as these are the most likely to cause deterioration in the level of protection afforded by the surface finish.
  • As the lockers contain moving parts, fixings may occasionally become loose. It is therefore important that all exposed fixings are examined periodically and re-tightened where necessary.
  • Spare and replacement keys and locks are available from the manufacturer. Key serial numbers must be recorded. We strongly recommend that a key register be completed following installation and commissioning of the lockers and kept in a secure place.
  • Care of hinges: apply light lubrication periodically to door hinges ensuring that all excess lubrication is cleaned off immediately with an absorbent, non-abrasive cloth.
  • Care of frames: careless use of polishing or cleaning equipment may damage locker bases, or frames.
  • The PowerStation is not to be used outdoors or in corrosive environments.
  • The power supply lead must be connected to a grounded (earthed) power supply.
  • Regular inspection/testing off this cabinet must be carried out in accordance to the requirements of the risk assessment.
