PFANNER cut-protection clothing
To guarantee the best possible protection and comfort when using this safety
product, it is essential that you read and observe the following information.
1. Important!
No cut-protection clothing can provide absolute protection against injuries
by chainsaws. The degree of protection depends on numerous factors
(e.g. speed of the chainsaw, engine torque, angle at which the bar
contacts the fabric, working position – stooping or upright, etc.).
This cut-protection is not a replacement for safe working procedures.
Incorrect use of a chainsaw can result in accidents. You should therefore
observe the safety regulations of the appropriate authorities (such as the
employers liability insurance association, etc.) and the safety notes in the
Operating Instructions of the chainsaw being used.
Caution!
2.
Examinations have shown that contamination of the clothing (by, for
example, tree resins, oil or fuel residues in the material) can have a
negative effect on the function of the cut-protection clothing. The number
of times the clothing is cleaned or washed can also (due, for example, to
the mechanical effects of the washing machine) reduce the effectiveness
of the cut-protection clothing. In order to ensure the best possible protec-
tion, the following rules for cleaning and care of the cut-protection clothing
should be observed:
Cut-protection clothing requires special care and should be cleaned
regularly. It should be cleaned every week if worn daily with average
soiling. It should be washed immediately after use if severely soiled.
For your laundry we recommend commercially available washing powder.
For heavier staining please use our Pfanner washing-power-intensifier.
After washing, pull the cut-protection clothing into shape while it is still
damp and dry it in the air. Excessively high washing temperatures or
drying of the clothing in an electric dryer reduce the protective function
and the wearing properties (shrinkage).
Instuctions for cleaning:
(see the pictograms inside the cut-protection clothing or on the back page
of these instructions):
- Normal wash (40°C).
- Do not spin dry.
- Iron at a medium temperature (1 or 3 dots).
- Do not bleach with chlorine.
- Do not dry in an electric dryer.
- Do not dry-clean.
3. Avoid damaging the clothing by contact with sharp objects (the chain of
the chainsaw, thorns, metal tools, etc.). Also avoid contact with aggressive
substances such as acids, oil, solvents, fuel, animals excrements and
with hot objects (exhaust muffler, etc.) and other heat sources (naked
lights, heaters, etc.).
Important!
If the garments are smeared with fuel, oil, grease or other inflammable
substances while working, change clothes before continuing work – fire
hazard!
Ensure that the garments are cleaned as specified before they are
reused.
4. Repair
Only the outer material may be patched. Do not stitch through the cutre-
tardant inlay. When altering (such as shortening the trousers) or repairing
the cut-protection clothing, do not attempt to patch, modify, shorten or
sew through the cut-protection lining! The protective effect will be diminished
or eliminated if the cut-retardant inlay is modified in any way!
