You have made an excellent choice!
Congratulations on your purchase of quality gloves from Rosenbauer. Premium
quality, hand-picked materials combined with state-of-the-art design, crafted
with the utmost of care, guarantee protection and perfect wearing comfort for
professional fire fighters.
USE
The contractually guaranteed scope of protection of the respective personal
protective equipment results from the relevant provisions of the PPE
Regulation (EU) 2016/425 and the standards derived from it in accordance with
the declaration of conformity. Any further protection does not exist.
Additional dangers such as chemical, biological, electrical or radioactive
hazards must be covered by another and/or additional protective equipment.
At this point we would like to point out that the user of this PPE must carry
out a risk assessment before use. The user determines through this risk
assessment what risk he will have to expect in his operations. The real risk
arises from the
extent to which various hazards are likely in relation to the severity of the
consequences for the user in such an exposure. The resulting risk assessment
is the basis for the selection and application of an adequate protective
equipment (with the appropriate protection level if applicable).
Please make sure that your Rosenbauer PPE meets the requirements of your risk
assessment with regard to the contractually guaranteed protective effect.
Fire brigade gloves are part of a fire-fighter’s personal protection. They can
be used during technical and fire emergencies.

Please note that the firefighting glove SAFE GRIP 3 alone, without an
additional inner glove, was the subject of the type examination and
corresponds only in this application to the standards of the declaration
conformity.
An additional inner glove may have a negative impact on the protection and the
wearing properties of the firefighting glove SAFE GRIP 3 and is therefore not
permitted.
LIMITATIONS TO USE
The protective glove should be checked for damage following subjection to high
mechanical, chemical or thermal loads. Water-tight and breathable laminated
membrane, but avoid damage to the membrane due to tearing.
Penetrative abrasion or surface damage due to heat, or chemicals, etc. can
have a negative effect on protection levels. It is essential that protective
gloves showing such, or similar, damage are discarded.
The gloves do not offer protection against chemical and electrical hazards, or
bacteria. The gloves remain impervious to water for as long as the membrane is
undamaged.
STORAGE
The protective gloves should be dry stored in normal room atmosphere.
CLEANING/CARE
The gloves are washable. Hand washing recommended. Gloves can be washed at
temperatures of up to 60° to remove severe contamination. Surface dirt can be
removed by brushing. Do not use bleaches or oxidising agents!
