Specifi cations.
The use of substitute components or modifi cations
not specifi ed in these user instructions might seriously

warranty or cause the product to be noncompliant with
protection classifi cations and approvals.
Eye protectors worn over
spectacles may transmit impacts thus creating a hazard
to the wearer.
The Speedglas welding shield is not designed for heavy
duty overhead welding/cutting operations due to the risk
of burns from falling molten metal.
The SideWindows should be covered with the cover
plates in situations when other welders are working
beside you and in situations where refl ected light can
pass through the SideWindows (see fi g I:1)

Adjust and fi t the Air Delivery Unit as outlined in the
appropriate User Instruction. Adjust the face seal to suit the
shape of the face. (see fi g H:8)
Materials which may come into contact with the wearer's
skin are not known to cause allergic reactions to the
majority of individuals. These products do not contain
components made from natural rubber latex.
Do not use for respiratory protection against unknown
atmospheric contaminants or when concentrations of
contaminants are unknown or immediately dangerous to
life or health (IDLH).
Do not use in atmospheres containing less than 19.5%
oxygen (3M defi nition. Individual countries may apply
their own limits on oxygen defi ciency. Seek advice if in
doubt). Do not use these products in oxygen or oxygen-
enriched atmospheres.
Leave the contaminated area immediately if: Any part
of the system becomes damaged, airfl ow into the
headtop decreases or stops, breathing becomes diffi cult,
dizziness or other distress occurs, you smell or taste
contaminants or irritation occurs.
High winds above 2m/s, or very high work rates (where
the pressure within the headtop can become negative)
can reduce protection. Adjust equipment as appropriate
or consider an alternative form of respiratory protective
device.
Users should be clean-shaven where the respirator's
face seal comes into contact with the face.
The welding shield is heat resistant but can catch fi re or
melt in contact with open fl ames or very hot surfaces.
Keep the shield clean to minimize this risk.
It is important that the face seal is correctly mounted
and fi tted to provide the correct protection factor. Do not
remove the welding shield or turn off the air supply until
you have vacated the contaminated area.
