Attention:
• This gaiter may not be washed in a machine nor by hand. However , the gaiter can be used in a
humid atmosphere and eventually be soaked in water.
• These gaiters are provided with pads constructed from several layers loose woven material, so
that, when in contact with a moving chain, the threads are torn out and clog the chain saw drive
mechanism. HOWEVER ,no item of clothing will provide full protection, therefore never
intentionally let the chain make contact with any part of this garment. Remember a chainsaw is a
machine which should always be treated with extreme caution (use both hands) Before using the
chain saw consult your supplier to ensure that your protective clothing is compatible with the
machine
• This gaiter is not intended for use in situations where there is a significant risk of tripping such as
tree climbing or in forests. This gaiter can only be worn in conjunction with safety footwear
conforming to EN ISO 20345.
• Only wear gaiters of a suitable size. Gaiters which are either too loose or too tight will restrict the
movements and will not provide the optimum level of protection. The gaiter should overlap the toe
cap of the wearer boots by at least 30 mm; the gaiter may not overlap the boot sole to such an
extent that it causes a trip hazard, the gaiter may not leave an unprotected space between the
edge of the gaiter and the sole..
• Never stitch through the protective pad, because then the long fibres won’t be easily removed
from the pad to clog the drive mechanism of the chain saw
• The protective material and area of coverage must not be altered. If the garment is damaged it
will no longer provide the optimum level of protection, and therefore should be replaced
immediately. Damaged garments should be immediately destroyed or marked to prevent them
from being worn again. NEVER wear a damaged garment.
• When not in use, store the garment in a well ventilated area away from extremes of temperature.
Store the garment preferably hanging vertically. If the garment is wet, reshape it by hand and
allow it to dry fully before placing it into storage
As all Personal Protective Equipment, this product does not offer protection against all risks (see your
specific risk-analyse
Making alterations to this gaiter (without permission from the manufacturer) is not permitted
Care instructions for domestic washing machines (*) (see label)
This gaiter may not be washed in a machine nor by hand . However , the gaiter can be used in a humid
atmosphere and eventually be soaked in water.
Surveys have shown that contamination of the gaiter (for example :tree resins, oil or fuel residues in
the material) can have a negative effect on the function of the cut-retardant gaiter
If the gaiters are smeared with fuel , oil , grease or other inflammable substances while working,
change the EPI before continuing work – fire hazard! . Ensure that the EPI are cleaned as specified
before they are reused
We recommend to check the equipment regularly on damage. Damage can occur at any time due to
an accident or operational intervention . If the gaiter is damaged it will no longer provide the optimum
level of protection, and therefore should be replaced immediately. Damaged gaiters should be
immediately destroyed or marked to prevent them from being worn again. NEVER wear a damaged
EPI.
