Stage 1 is knee protection suitable for either flat or uneven surfaces.
This offers protection against puncturing to a power of (100±5) N.
Stage 2 is knee protection suitable for either flat or uneven surfaces in difficult
conditions, offering protection against puncturing up to a power of (250±10) N.
ATTACHING THE KNEEPAD
The kneepad is attached to the knee using hook and loop fasteners so that the
kneeling area is covered. The top edge of the kneepad should protrude past the
bent knee by 2 cm. The kneepad can be worn over clothes or be attached directly
over skin.
Attention!
Ensure the hook and loop fasteners are not too tight. Do not allow the hook and
loop fasteners to cross the hollow of the knee. This could impair blood circulation.
Suitable for persons with a waist measurement up to 100 cm!
Finally, check that the kneepad is comfortably positioned and sufficiently tightened
for the work to be carried out.
MAINTENANCE AND CARE
General
Inspect the kneepads for damage prior to every use. If the kneepads are dama-
ged, for example torn, broken or parts are partially loosened, they are no longer
usable and should not be worn. Do not tamper with this product, as the protective
properties can no longer be guaranteed. Severe soiling, alterations or improper
use may impair the performance of these knee protectors in a hazardous way.
The kneepads mainly consist of PVC, polyester, SBR and EVA foam.
CLEANING
Rough dirt can be removed from your kneepads by brushing. Stubborn dirt can be
removed by hand washing in lukewarm water or with a neutral detergent solution.
Rinse with clean water.
Never wash the kneepads with solvent-based or harsh cleaning agents.
Never machine wash, tumble dry or iron.
