A GENERAL
Please read these instructions thoroughly before using this product and follow all the
information contained within. Failure to observe these instructions can lead to a reduction

Please note: mountaineering and climbing are dangerous sports which may lead to
unforeseable risks. You are personally responsible for every action and decision you take.
You should acquaint yourself with the related risks before undertaking these activities.
SALEWA recommends that you seek proper training from professionals (such as mountain
guides or climbing schools) before any mountain-related activity. It is important to beco-
me familiar with rescue operations and how they are carried out safely and correctly. The
manufacturer declines any responsibility in case of improper or wrong use. Make sure all
the components in your protection equipment are certified.
This product is made in conformity with PPE regulation (EU) 2016/425.
You can view the EU Declaration of Conformity under www.salewa.com.
The product meets the third category for personal protective equipment (PSA).
B INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Only use the product for the purpose for which it was constructed and never burden it
beyond its limits.
: Danger to life
: Risk of injury
: Correct use
Salewa ice picks were developed for traditional mountaineering on snowy or glacier-co-
vered terrain, for ski tours, and for mixed climbing or ice climbing. They correspond to the
standard EN 13089:2011+A1:2015.
This product protects against the risk of slipping and falling during the activities specified
above.
The EU norm distinguishes between two types of ice pick: type 1 (basic-ice pick, formerly
known as type B) ist designed for low impact on snow and ice. Type 2 (technical ice pick,
formerly known as type T) can tolerate higher impact and is thus also suitable for use on
the cliff face. The ice pick type 2 contains an engraving with “T”. Type 2 is not marked.
The correct use is shown in diagram B.
WARNING:
We have not shown all possible misuses.
C SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Before use, carefully check each product part. Diagram C
The instructions for use supplied with the product are always to be stored with the product.
This product is only to be used by appropriately trained and/or competent persons, or
when the user is under the direct supervision of such a qualified person.
Please make sure that all components being used are compatible. We recommend the
exclusive use of climbing equipment which complies with the relevant standards, for
example: EN 892 for ropes, EN12275 for carabiners.
WARNING
·If there is the least doubt about the safety of the product, it is to be replaced immediately.
·Any change to this product can reduce safety significantly.
D LIFESPAN
The lifespan of the product is dependent on a number of factors, such as the manner and
frequency of use, UV exposure, moisture, ice, affects of weather, storage conditions, and
dirt (sand, salt, etc.). Under extreme conditions the lifespan can be reduced to a single
usage or even less, if the equipment has suffered damage (for example during transport)
before ever being used. Please note: Products manufactured from synthetic fibres are
subject to ageing even when not used. This ageing depends mainly on environmental
conditions as well as the impact of UV light.
As a rule, drytooling, hitting on rock, jamming into cracks and levering and twisting will
considerably reduce the lifespan of this tool and may cause it to break.
This product is built to last a maximum of ten years. Banging the ice pick against the rock
or wedging/jamming it into cracks will reduce its longevity.
E CLEANING, STORAGE, TRANSPORT AND SERVICING
See diagram E for guidelines on correct storage and care.
Do not allow this product to come into contact with aggressive chemicals (e. g. battery
acid, solvents) or expose it to extreme temperatures as these events can have a negative
impact on the mechanical features of the materials.
Ensure that the product is kept safe during storage and transport and is protected from
damage.
File the front edge of the tip of the ice pick at the original angle until the lower side of the
tip lies at the same level as the teeth behind it, and no more. If, as a result of being filed
several times already, the lower edge of the point is already higher than the teeth behind
it, the ice pick will no longer hold in the ice and the blade of the pick should be replaced.
Depending on the type of ice axe the blade, spike, handrest and leash can be exchanged.
When they are worn out, replace them exclusively with new original components from
Salewa.
