EN 1731:2006
The mesh face-shield 5120901 has a total weight of just
150 g. On the face-shield, the mesh shield element may
be flipped back to 180° on the harness. It is equipped with
an elastic retention band whose length is adjustable via a
buckle mechanism thus allowing it to be employed by users
of various head sizes. The length of the band is adjusted in
order to assure an optimal ft, with no excessive pressure;
the shield will not move from the user's head because of any
sudden upwards or sideways movement.
Before employing the face-shield, the user must therefore:
- Assemble the device as follows:
• Unscrew the knobs (1)
• Insert the shield element (2), ensuring that the rubber
washers (3) remain in position
• Screw the knobs (1) back down
- Adjust the length of the elastic retention band so that it
wraps around the maximum circumference of the head
without pulling too tight
- Adjust the tightness of the shield's tilting motion using
the two lateral friction devices, so that the shield cannot
be inadvertently raised during the envisaged working
conditions yet can be raised easily when desired, with no
change in the fit.
The face-shield should be stored in an environment free
of organic vapours, at a temperature between +5° and
+30°C. To avoid damage during transport and handling, we
recommend keeping the face-shield in its original packaging.
To clean and disinfect, wipe with soft anti-scratch cloths or
fabric using any conventional disinfectant cleaning product
for optical care.
DO NOT USE SOLVENTS.
The mesh face-shield 5120901 complies with the
requirements of EN 1731:2006 for protection from
mechanical hazards.
The mesh face-shield is generally worn to protect the user's
eyes during garden work.
The mesh face-shield provides adequate protection of the
user's eye area against accidental impact from obstacles
potentially present in the work area, which may be small
objects no heavier than 0.8 g projected at a speed of no
higher than 12 m/s or objects no heavier than 40 g falling
at a speed of no higher than 5.1 m/s (protection code S).
Mesh face shields marked with the letter S must not be used
to protect against the risk of hard or sharp particles being
projected (for example when using brush cutters, blowers and
edge trimmers); should such a risk be foreseen, additional
eye protection must be worn, such as safety goggles meeting
the requirements of EN 166:2001.
If the cleaning instructions described above are followed, the
mesh face shield should not be subject to excessive wear
under normal working conditions.
Replace the face-shield if surface damage like grooves, cuts
or dents is visible. The device should also be replaced after
every significant impact.
The face-shield 5120901 may use for spare parts only the
original parts supplied by TECOMEC for the protection class
indicated above.
EN
Use only the mesh shield element code S00901001 as a
spare part.
To replace the shield element, proceed as specified above
for the assembly procedure.
Replace the complete device within no more than five years
of normal use.
The mesh face-shield 5120901 carries CE marking, the
meaning and description of which is given below:
Mesh shield element S00901001

N.B.: The shield support carries a dual marking as it is a
common element for two different PPE devices: in this
case, the reference marking is the one given above. Mesh
face shields do not provide protection against liquid spray
(including molten metal), red-hot solids, electrical hazards,
infra-red or ultraviolet radiation.
Materials in contact with the user's skin may cause allergic
reactions in some highly sensitive individuals.
The packaging and device must be disposed of in compliance
with applicable legislation at the end of their useful lifetime.
