Saw protection clothing with new stretch fabric
Jonsered has developed a new stretch fabric, known as 4-way stretch, for their saw protection clothing. The design is unchanged, but the new fabric is smoother and more robust than in the past.
“Sawdust and snow does not stick as easy as it once did, which means that your clothes stay dry and clean longer. And the saw protection is of course just as effective as before,” Mattias Karlsson, Global Product Manager, Jonsered explains.
Jonsered's range includes two protective trousers and a forestry jacket with the new stretch fabric. The clothing is well-ventilated and flexible giving users good mobility and high comfort. The target group is mainly professional forestry workers, but also private individuals who use their chainsaw at regular intervals.
“Saw protection trousers from Jonsered have built-in saw protection with long fibres that reduce the speed of the chain if it penetrates the outer fabric. But you should be aware that there is no protective clothing that can guarantee 100 % protection. It is important that the user adopts the correct working method and always observes the safety instructions,” Mattias Karlsson emphasises.
Recommended protective equipment for chainsaw work
· Helmet with earmuffs and visor.
· Protective goggles.
· Saw protection trousers.
· Boots with steel toe caps, saw protection and deep treaded soles.
· Work gloves.
· Long sleeve shirt or jacket.
· First aid kit.
