BEFORE USE
ATTENTION: Read these instructions fully before use.
It is important that the footwear selected must be suitable for the protection level, hazard type and the wear
environment.
Seek assistance on selection of footwear if hazards or the wear environment are not fully known.
VISUAL INSPECTION
A visual inspection should be carried out each time before the footwear is used.
Check the quality and integrity of the stitching.
Check the outer material is not worn and that the built-in protection materials are not exposed.
Check that soiling from any contaminants have not degraded the outer material of the footwear.
NOTE: If the footwear appears damaged it should be taken out of service and replaced immediately. Worn
and damaged footwear will not provide the complete protection they are designed to offer.
FITTING
This footwear must be worn in conjunction with a suitable sock. Once the footwear is on the foot it must be
laced up fully (where applicable) and provide a comfortable and correct fit.
LIMITATION ON USE
This footwear is not suitable for use in extreme temperatures. Guidance should be sought before selection to
ensure the footwear meets the protection needs and the environment type.
OBSOLESCENCE (WEAR LIFE)
This will vary greatly as it is affected by many different factors; how often the footwear is worn; the wear
environment; care taken after wearing. Carry out a visual inspection before each use to make sure the wear
life has not been exceeded.
CARE
After the footwear has been worn it should be cleaned of any dirt or contaminants that have come into
contact with it. If the footwear is wet from wear or cleaning it should be left to dry naturally in a cool area.
Trying to speed up the drying process can result in deterioration of the upper material.
Do not use any aggressive cleaning agents on the footwear. Clean leather or suede uppers with products
designed to care for that specific material type.
STORAGE
When not in use and for transportation the footwear can be stored in the original packaging.
