Apparel
Important Information:
These garments contain pads of cut-retardant material designed to reduce the
risk of severity of injury to the body parts covered by the pads in the event of
contact with the rotating chain. The fibers in the pads provide extra layers of
material and are designed to rip apart when they come into contact with the
moving chain and to clog the sprocket and stop the chain. In some contacts, the
pads may stop the chain. In other contacts, the chain pads will resist the
cutting process only for a fraction of a second. The actual degree of protection
afforded will vary with the speed of the chain and the time of contact, the
power and torque of the saw, the design of the chain saw sprocket and similar
factors. Follow the washing instructions. Improper care may destroy
cut-retardant properties of the material.
Warning for Electric Chain Saw Users:
The fibers will not stop the sprocket on most electric chain saws because of their constant high torque.
