WARNING LABELS (FIG. B)
There are two warning labels affixed to the inside of this hard hat.
Read, understand, and follow these instructions to ensure safe
operation. DO NOT REMOVE THESE LABELS.
WARNINGS
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE WARNINGS AND
INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS BODILY INJURY OR DEATH.
• This hard hat is designed to provide limited head protection from
small falling objects, such as small tools, nuts and bolts, etc.,
striking the top of the hard hat. A Type II helmet MUST be used
for protection against front, side or rear blows.
• DO NOT expose suspension and padding to open flame.
• ELECTRICAL WARNING: Avoid areas where the chance of electrical
shock exists. Non-vented versions meet Class E requirements
by providing limited electrical protection. Class C vented models
provide NO electrical protection.
• If the hard hat has sustained an impact, dispose of it
IMMEDIATELY, even if damage is not visible.
• NEVER alter, puncture, modify or engrave the shell or the suspension.
• DO NOT use paints, solvents, chemicals, adhesives, gasoline
or like substances on this hard hat – doing so can lessen the
protection offered against impact and penetration.
• DO NOT use this hard hat as a vehicular or recreational hard hat.
• DO NOT store objects between the suspension and the shell, as the
hard hat will not function as intended and can lessen the protection
from impact and penetration.
• Exposure to direct sunlight, corrosive environments, and/or
extreme temperatures above 120°F (49°C) can lessen the ability of
the hard hat to withstand impact and penetration.
USEFUL LIFE
SUSPENSION: Must be replaced after no more than 12 months of use.
ENTIRE HARD HAT: Entire Hard Hat must be replaced after no
more than 2 years of regular use, or 5 years from the date of
manufacture, whichever comes first.
These are MAXIMUM useful service life guidelines. Regular
inspection as detailed in the MAINTENANCE section above MUST
be performed, and may result in possible earlier replacement.
NOTE: This replacement schedule is a guideline that assumes
normal use and storage conditions for the hard hat. If the hard
hat is exposed to temperature extremes, persistent sunlight, or
chemicals, replacement may be required in a shorter time frame.

FITTING (FIG. D)
All hard hats come with suspension pre-installed at factory settings.
The suspension can be adjusted to ensure proper and secure fit to
your head for maximum protection. Follow the steps below:
STEP 1: Turn the size adjustment knob
counterclockwise to
9
loosen the fit. Position the rear pad on the back of your head, closer
to the neck. Dress any bandana knots or ponytails over the rear
neck pad
.
10
STEP 2: Tighten by turning the size adjustment knob
clockwise until the hard hat is comfortable and snug. Move
your head up, down and side-to-side gently, like you would
normally, and make sure the hard hat stays on. Make sure
that the hard hat is not angled forward or backward, but
rests level on your head.
ADJUSTMENTS (FIG. E)
If the hard hat does not fit properly at the factory settings,
you can further adjust the fit:
STEP 1: Free the suspension by turning the suspension
bracket
approximately 90 degrees to free the bracket key
16
from the bracket key slots.
17
STEP 2: Determine which slot
you want to reattach to.
18
Using the bracket slots deeper in the hard hat will move it
higher on the head and vice versa. Insert the bracket key
and turn the bracket
approximately 90 degrees to lock
16
into place. Always match the settings on the left and right
sides to prevent the suspension from sitting at an angle.
STEP 3: Verify the hard hat fits properly. Follow the steps
in the FITTING section to ensure proper fit. Ensure that
accessories you plan to use fit and function properly while
maintaining the hard hat's ability to perform its function
optimally. Check with a qualified safety expert, if unsure.
NOTE: The suspension strap lengths are fixed and cannot
be adjusted. DO NOT attempt to alter.
REVERSE DONNING (FIG. F)
NOTE: Some jobsites may not permit reverse donning -
Check with your jobsite's Safety Supervisor before changing
your hard hat to this configuration.
STEP 1: Place your forefinger under the strap anchor, and
your thumb over the anchor slot
. Push up with forefinger
11
using enough force to release the anchor from the slot.
Do this for all anchor slots (4 total). NOTE: DO NOT pull
on the suspension straps to free the anchor. This could
permanently damage the straps, preventing them from
performing as intended.
STEP 2: Make any height adjustments for the sweatband
before installation.
STEP 3: Push down each anchor until a click is heard and the
anchor cannot be pushed down any further. Do this for all 4
anchors. NOTE: DO NOT use sharp tools that may damage
the anchors, or pull on the straps to secure the anchors.
STEP 4: Check proper installation by pushing up on all 4
anchor bases. The anchors should remain fully seated in
their slots. If not, repeat STEP 3.
STEP 5: Verify the hard hat fits properly. Follow the steps in
the FITTING section to ensure proper fit. Also ensure that
accessories you plan to use fit and function properly while
maintaining the hard hat's ability to perform optimally.
SWEATBAND AND TOP COMFORT PAD* (FIG.H)
Klein Tools hard hats come with an advanced sweatband and
top comfort pad* designed to wick away sweat. They are
machine washable in a normal wash cycle. Do NOT wash with
bleach or with detergents containing bleach. Machine dry on
normal or low heat setting only.
The sweatband and top comfort pad* can be easily removed
and reinstalled on the suspension:
• The top comfort pad* is held in place by a single hook-and-
loop pad
.
25
• The sweatband is held in place by four suspension hooks
9
and three hook-and-loop pads
, on the side and front. To
25
remove, simply detach all hook-and-loop pads and slide the
sweatband off the suspension hooks.
VENTS (C-CLASS ONLY)
Klein Tools Class C hard hats have vents and shutters on
both sides. The vents can be adjusted by simply sliding the
shutter tabs
up or down.
7
The vents and shutters will NOT prevent vapors, liquids,
or debris smaller than the vents from entering the hard hat.
KHH56220 HEADLAMP (FIG.G)
The optional KH56220 is a removable headlamp designed
specifically for Klein hard hats that have the integrated front
17
and rear accessory slots. It functions as a spot light or flood
light, and has magnet to attach onto magnetic surfaces for

functionality of accessories or of the hard hat itself.
MAINTENANCE
HARD HAT CLEANING AND STORAGE

operating instructions (on other side) for additional maintenance
information.
INSPECTION AND REPLACEMENT
Inspect the hard hat, including the suspension and shell, before
and after each use:
• Check the Hard Hat's shell for any cracks, breakage,
discoloration, chalky appearance, or any other damage, excessive
wear or unusual condition. These conditions may indicate
reduced impact or penetration resistance and the Hard Hat must
be replaced IMMEDIATELY.
• The suspension should be checked for cracks, breaks, damaged
stitching or any other damage, excessive wear or unusual
condition. If any of these conditions exist, the suspension must
be replaced IMMEDIATELY.
• Always use genuine Klein Tools replacement parts. This product
works as a system, and use of unauthorized suspensions may
reduce the protection you receive from this hard hat.
