Quick guide from the manual
The TEGERA 130A is a Category III protective glove designed for welding and heat-resistant applications. It is made of full-grain goatskin, is unlined, and features a reinforced index finger and seams. It provides protection against contact heat up to 100°C.
Safety and performance standards
The glove complies with several international standards:
- EN ISO 21420:2020: General requirements and test methods.
- EN 388:2016 +A1:2018 (2121X): Protection against mechanical risks.
- EN 407:2020 (412X4X): Protection against thermal risks (heat and/or fire).
- EN 12477:2001 +A1:2005 (Type B): Protective gloves for welders.
- EN 1149-2:1997: Electrostatic properties (vertical resistance).
Usage and warnings
- Wet conditions: This model is not intended for use in wet conditions.
- Welding: If intended for arc welding, these gloves do not provide protection against electric shock caused by defective equipment or live working. Electrical resistance is reduced if gloves are wet, dirty, or soaked with sweat.
- Molten metal: Gloves tested for small splashes of molten metal are not suitable for all welding activities. In the event of a splash, leave the workplace immediately and remove the glove.
- Mechanical risks: Do not use near moving elements or machinery with unprotected parts.
Sizing and fitting
Ensure you wear the correct size. Products that are too loose or too tight will restrict movement and will not provide the optimal level of protection. If a short model symbol is shown, the glove is shorter than standard to enhance comfort for special purposes like fine assembly work.
Care and maintenance
- Inspection: Before use, inspect for defects or imperfections. Do not use damaged gloves.
- Removal: When removing, hold the outside edge, peel it away, and hold it in the gloved hand. Use ungloved fingers to slide and peel the remaining glove from the inside.
- Cleaning: Gloves that can be mechanically washed will carry laundry symbols. The user is responsible for performance after laundering.
- Storage: Store in a dry, dark place in the original packaging, between +10°C and +30°C.
Disposal
Dispose of according to local environmental legislation. The glove contains natural rubber, which may cause allergies.

Common problems
Reduced electrical resistance
Ensure gloves are not wet, dirty, or soaked with sweat, as this increases the risk of electric shock during welding.
Allergic reaction
The glove contains natural rubber. If hypersensitivity signs occur, stop using the product and contact Ejendals.
Inadequate protection
Ensure the glove size is correct. Loose or tight gloves restrict movement and reduce protection levels.
Before use
- Wash and dry hands completely before donning.
- Inspect the glove for any defects, holes, cracks, or imperfections.
- Ensure the glove fits well.
- Avoid wearing damaged gloves.
