INSTRUCTION MANUAL WELDING GLOVES

READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY
The legislation attributes to the employer (user) the responsibility for identifying and choosing the right PPE (personal protective equipment)  for the type of risks present in the work environment (in terms of the features and category of PPE). It is therefore essential to check that the features of this model are appropriate for your requirements before beginning to use it. The employer must also inform the worker in advance of the risks the PPE protects against, providing instruction and/or training in proper use and practical utilization of the PPE if necessary. This Note must be kept for the entire time in which the PPE is in use.

USE

The garments described in this note comply with the specifications contained in European standards and are suitable for the use described below. They are NOT suitable for any other use (and specifically for all category III risks identified in EU regulation 2016/425).

• European Directive (EU) 2016/425: harmonization of member states‘ PPE legislation
• UNI EN 420:2010: General requirements for innocuousness, ergonomics and sizes
• UNI EN 388:2019: Requirements for protection against mechanical risks, for maintenance work, plant cleaning, work with tools, metal structural work, handling of metal profiles, grinding and/or removal of burr, carpentry, handling of objects with sharp corners and of rough or abrasive objects.
• UNI EN 407:2004: Requirements for protection against heat risks, for occasional contact with small flames and for contact with hot objects at temperatures not exceeding 100 °C.
• UNI EN 12477:2006: Requirements for welders

GENERAL WARNINGS

The values obtained in the technical examinations conducted to determine performance levels are reported in the section on INTERPRETATION OF PERFORMANCE LEVELS. The gloves are made to ensure that they are not themselves a cause of risk or interference for the user; the materials they are made of have been selected to offer the best performance and the greatest durability, and there are, to the best of our current knowledge, no contraindications for their use. The gloves have been manufactured to ensure that there are no points (such as stitching or accessory parts in direct contact with the skin) that could cause excessive irritation or injury to the wearer. The specified safety features are guaranteed only if the gloves are of the correct size, worn correctly, fastened up, and in perfect condition. Inspect them before each use to make sure that they are in perfect condition, integral and clean; replace them if they are not integral (loose stitches, breakage or holes); if they are dirty, clean as described in the MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS section. The manufacturer shall not be held liable for any damage or other consequences of improper use, or if the PPE has been modified in any way with respect to its certified configuration. If the instructions provided in this note are not followed, the PPE will lose its technical and legal effectiveness. The user must not remove the gloves at any time while in the work area at risk.

SPECIFIC WARNINGS

Gloves must not be worn in the presence of a risk of entanglement in moving parts of machinery. With reference to standard EN 12477, type B gloves are recommended when great dexterity is required, as in TIG welding. Type A gloves are recommended for all other welding procedures. Gloves protect the hands and wrists during welding procedures and related operations against splattering of small quantities of molten metal, brief exposure and contact with small flames, convective heat, heat due to contact and UV rays from the arc (there is no test method for measuring penetration of UV rays in the materials the gloves are made of, but the methods currently used to make protective gloves do not permit penetration of UV rays). They also protect against mechanical aggression. If the gloves are to be used during arc welding: The material the gloves are made of offers minimal electrical resistance up to 100 V (DC) during arc welding. These gloves do not protect against electric shock from defective equipment or work performed under voltage, and electrical resistance will be reduced if the gloves are wet, dirty or sweaty, which could add to the risk.

INTERPRETATION OF PERFORMANCE LEVELS

• UNI EN 420:2010 (Tab. 1 – UNI EN 420:2010): The gloves do not interfere the normal performance of the wearer‘s activity, the verification of dexterity, carried out in accordance with the UNI EN 420: 2010 standard, led to the classification of the gloves at level 3.

• UNI EN 388:2019 (Tab. 2 – UNI EN 388:2019): Indexes indicate, in order from left to right: abrasion | resistance to cutting | resistance to tearing | resistance to perforation | TDM resistance to cutting (E) | Attenuation of impact (P); The glove is composed of different
  layers, thus the overall classification does not necessarily reflect the performance of the outermost layer.

• UNI EN 407:2004 (Tab. 3 – UNI EN 407:2004): Indexes indicate, in order from left to right: reaction to flame | contact heat | convective heat | radiating heat | splattering with small quantities of molten metal | splattering with large quantities of molten metal (An index of X indicates that the glove has not been tested for this type of risk.) The performance level is defined for the whole glove, including all layers.

• UNI EN 12477:2006 (Tab. 4 – UNI EN 12477:2006)
