Thank you very much for purchasing a SAGOLA
product. We are pleased to have you as a
customer.
SAGOLA products combine the very latest
technical developments with the highest levels
of design and ease of use.
We apply the most stringent quality controls to
all of our products in order to meet the most
demanding requirements.
SAFETY WARNINGS
a) Design for use
The 4240 face mask IS NOT DESIGNED for use
in environments containing flammable
gases.
This model is designed for use against
contaminants that are not hazardous to life or
health, and where the breathing apparatus is not
essential for survival.
The model 4240 is designed for use with
compressed air (compressed or enriched oxygen
sources should not be used). No protection at
all is guaranteed if the mask is not fitted correctly
or an adequate supply of breathable air is not
maintained. The prescribed degree of protection
is only ensured when the equipment is correctly
fitted.
The combination of a SAGOLA 5200 or 5300
filter mounted on the wall with the carbon filter
mounted on the waist belt of the equipment does
not eliminate carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide
or other toxic gases.
The equipment is composed of a lightweight
mask connected via a breathing tube to a pre-set
regulator with a flow meter and a carbon filter.
The regulator is mounted on a belt with an easy
to release buckle.
The equipment is completed with a hose of 10
m for the supply of compressed air from the
general air network. This hose includes a
SAGOLA T-2 connector at one end and at the
other end a "Y" connection with two T-2
couplings.
There is also a T-2 quick release ½" male
coupling and another hose of 1.5 m with a T-2
connector on one end and a ¼" female nut to
connect to a spray gun.

b) Negative pressure
It is possible that at very high work rates the
compressed air pressure inside the mask could
become negative during breathing. This
equipment has a maximum flow rate of 232
litres/minute and should not be used for jobs
requiring a flow rate greater than this.
c) Compressed air supply
The user must ensure that the range of air
pressures reaching the equipment is within the
recommended limits. If the air supply ceases or
is significantly reduced the user must leave the
contaminated area and check the possible
failures in the equipment.
This is a line of compressed air equipment with
a variety of parts for the head and for use in
applications such as spray painting or against
toxic dust, mist or fumes, i.e. in situations where
a breathing apparatus is not essential for survival.
The equipment has been tested, approved and
certified according to BS-EN270 (formerly HSE
Testing Memorandum
14.7.25: issue 7), protection factor 200. Its main
components are designed for maximum durability
and the quick and inexpensive change of those
parts most susceptible to damage.
There is a wide range of spare parts and
accessories.
IMPORTANT
Before using the mask it is important to read
and digest the contents of this instruction
manual, paying special attention to the
warnings, characteristics and maintenance
requirements indicated, as well as the labelling
of the model.
