Instruction Manual

The pictogram shows the type of protec‐
tion clothing. For cut protection clothing,
a saw is shown on the product and on
the care label, see also table A. Below/
above the icon, the standard applied
and the year of publication of the stand‐
ard are indicated; below it, the respec‐
tive cut protection class achieved is
shown (see Table A).
The design describes the specified pro‐
tection area of the personal protective
equipment (see Table A) and is indica‐
ted on the care label of the product.
Addition to Table A, number 6: There is
currently no harmonized standard for
arm protectors. These STIHL arm pro‐
tectors have been tested and approved
in accordance with the harmonized cut
protection standard for upper body pro‐
tection and comply with PPE Regulation
2016/425.
Transport and packing
Cut protection clothing must be protec‐
ted from damage during transport. Store
(e.g. in the supplied sales packaging or
similar) in a dry, well-ventilated room.
Avoid extremes of temperature, high
humidity and exposure to aggressive
substances, liquids or UV radiation (e.g.
in a display window).
Duration, limits of use and disposal
Cut-resistant apparel and cut-protection
materials are subject to a certain degree
of aging. It depends primarily on the
respective type of utilization and amount
of use and wear, but also other criteria
(for example, periodic maintenance,
repair, and proper storage). The period
of usage begins on the first day of use.
For professional use, the maximum life‐
time is approx. 12 to 18 months, and for
occasional use approx. 5 to 10 years.
The date of manufacture
(month/year) is indicated on
the care label.
Dispose at textile recycling collection
points (old clothing) or in household
waste.
Repairs
Only the outer shell may be patched. Do
not repair, alter, or shorten the cut pro‐
tection layer, and do not sew through it.
STIHL recommends to have all repairs
done by qualified and competent tailors.
Spare parts
Top material for repairs and other
accessories are available on request
from STIHL dealers. The above informa‐
tion apply to all STIHL products listed in
