Protective clothing for users of hand-held chainsaws.
BS EN381-4:1999This European Standard is concerned with personal protective equipment designed to protect against the risks associated with the use of hand-held chainsaws.
Part 4: Chainsaw protective gloves.
There are 3 different functional principles that are applied (together or separately) when designing chainsaw protective gloves:- 1. Chain slipping: the material is not cut on contact with the chainsaw.
- 2. Clogging: Chain movement is blocked by drawing fibres into the drive sprocket.
- 3. Chain braking: chain speed is reduced by fibres of a high cut resistance.
