6. WARNING! PROTECTION AGAINST CHAIN SAW CUTTING: No personal protective equipment can provide 100% protection against cuts
caused by a hand held chain saw because, under laboratory conditions, resistance against cutting of chain saw is only required for the
front of the shoe (tongue and toecap) and, even in these areas, cut injuries are possible. Nevertheless, experience has shown that it is
possible to design a protective equipment that oers a specic level of protection.
Protection can be achieved by using several operating principles such as:
- The sliding of the chain at the contact, so that the chain does not cut the material;
- Filling: bres are driven by the chain towards the pinion and block the movement of the chain;
- The braking of the chain: the bres have a great resistance to the cutting and absorb the kinetic energy, slowing down the speed of the
chain.
Many of these principles are often applied simultaneously.
Three levels of performance are available, corresponding to several levels of resistance of the chain saw.
It is recommended to choose the shoes according to the speed of the chain saw.
It is important that the pants and shoe protective material overlap. Safety shoes should always be used with socks.
7. INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Test to be performed by the user before wearing the shoe
Safety footwear resistant to chain saw cuts should be assessed regularly, but at least before each use, by inspection, and should be
replaced if any of the signs of deterioration identied below is established. Some of these criteria may vary depending on the type of
shoes and materials used.
- Beginning of pronounced and deep crack aecting half of the upper material thickness (Figure A.1 a)
- Strong abrasion of the constituent material of the upper, particularly if the toe-cap becomes visible (Figure A.1 b)
- The upper shows areas with deformations, burns, fusions or bubbles or split seams or damage caused by contact, e.g. with the
chainsaw (Figure A.1 c)
- The outsole shows cracks, higher than 10 mm long and 3 mm deep (Figure A.1 d) Separation of the upper and sole, over 10 to 15 mm
in length and 5 mm in width (depth)
- Stud height in the exing area lower than 1.5 mm (Figure A.1 e)
- Original insole (if any) showing pronounced deformation and crushing
- The fastening system is in working order (zip, laces, eyelets, touch and close system)
It is convenient to check manually the inside of the footwear from time to time, aiming at detecting destruction of lining or sharp borders
of the toe protection which could cause wounds (Figure A.1 f)
8. COMPATIBILITY
To optimize protection, in some instances it may be necessary to use this footwear with additional PPE such as protective trousers or
over gaiters. In this case, before carrying out the risk-related activity, consult your supplier to ensure that all your protective products
are compatible and suitable for your application. It is important that the selected footwear for wear must be suitable for the required
protection in the working environment concerned. When the working environment is unknown, it is very important that consultation is
carried out between the seller and the purchaser to ensure, wherever possible, that the correct footwear is provided.
9. FITTING AND SIZING
To put on and take o the footwear, always fully undo the fastening systems. Only wear footwear of suitable size. Product which is either
too loose or too tight will restrict movement and will not provide the optimum level of protection. The size of this product is printing
inside the boot.
10. CLEANING
To assure a longest life of the footwear, it is important to wash with warm water regularly. Do not use any strong washing detergent or
caustic cleaning agents which can limit the life of the boot. Footwear subjected to wet conditions should be allowed to dry naturally in a
cool and dry environment. Force drying can cause deterioration of the upper and lining materials.
11. DAMAGE AND REPAIR
Avoid damaging this safety product with pointed or sharp objects (e.g. saw chain, spikes, metal tools etc.) or contact with aggressive
uids such as acids, oil, solvents, fuel etc. Warning! If you spill fuel, oil, grease or any other ammable substance on your boots, stop work
immediately and clean the boots as specied in order to reduce the risk of re. If the footwear becomes damaged, it will NOT provide the
optimum level of protection, and therefore should be disposed of and replaced with new footwear as soon as possible. Never knowingly
wear damaged footwear while carrying out a risk related activity. If in doubt about the level of damage, consult your supplier before
using the footwear.
12. STORAGE AND TRANSPORT
When not in use, store the footwear in a well-ventilated area away from extremes of temperature. Never store the footwear underneath
heavy items or in contact with sharp objects. If the footwear is wet, allow it to dry slowly and naturally away from direct heat sources
before placing it into storage. Use suitable protective packaging to transport the footwear.
13. LIFETIME
The lifetime of the footwear will depend on how and where it is worn, suitability for the intended working environment, damages
caused, as well as how it is cared for. It is therefore very important that you carefully examine the footwear before use and replace as
soon as it appears to be unt for wear. The lifetime of the footwear is 3 years from the date of manufacture if the product is properly worn
and cared for (see internal stamp)
