Quick guide from the manual

The TEGERA 126A is a welding and heat-resistant glove made of high-quality full-grain goatskin. It is designed for assembly work and provides protection against thermal risks and mechanical hazards. Always inspect the gloves before use and ensure they are the correct size for your hands to maintain optimal protection.

Product Description

These gloves are unlined and feature reinforced seams with an elasticated 180-degree cuff. They are rated for contact heat up to 100 degrees Celsius. The gloves are classified as Category III PPE.

Explanation of Pictograms

The performance levels are indicated by numbers (0-4 or 0-5) or letters (A-F). An 'X' indicates that the test was not submitted or the method is not suitable for the glove design. Performance levels apply to new, unused products.

• EN 407:2004: Protection against thermal risks (heat and/or fire).
• EN 388:2016: Protection against mechanical risks (abrasion, blade cut, tear, puncture).
• EN 12477:2001 + A1:2005: Protective gloves for welders (Type B: Higher dexterity).
• EN 1149-2:1997: Electrostatic properties (vertical resistance).

Safety Warnings

Important: No PPE can provide full protection. Always exercise caution when exposed to hazardous chemicals or high-risk situations.

• Do not use these gloves near moving elements or machinery with unprotected parts.
• If the glove has a performance level of 1, 2, or X for burning behavior in EN 407:2004, it must not come into contact with naked flames.
• These gloves do not provide protection against electric shock caused by defective equipment or live working.
• Electrical resistance is reduced if the gloves are wet, dirty, or soaked with sweat, which increases the risk.

Fitting and Sizing

All sizes comply with EN 420:2003+A1:2009 for comfort, fit, and dexterity. If a short model symbol is shown, the glove is shorter than standard to enhance comfort for special purposes, such as fine assembly work. Only wear products of a suitable size; gloves that are too loose or too tight will restrict movement and will not provide the optimal level of protection.

Storage and Maintenance

Store in a dry and dark place, ideally in the original package, at temperatures between +10 and +30 degrees Celsius. The user is responsible for mechanical washing after use, as unknown substances can contaminate the product and affect performance. We recommend rinsing in cold water and line drying at room temperature.

Inspection and Disposal

Before use, check for holes, cracks, tears, or color changes. If the product is damaged, it will not provide optimal protection and must be disposed of. Never use a damaged product. Dispose of the product according to local environmental legislation. Note that the gloves contain natural rubber, which may cause allergies.
