Keep the manual for future reference. The welding hood should be used only for the purposes listed in
this manual.
1. Introduction
There are two main variants of product - welding hood Evermatic Evolve (hereinafter Evermatic Evolve)
and welding hood CA-29 Evolve (hereinafter CA-29 Evolve). Welding hood Evermatic Evolve is the basic
variant of the product, certified according to EN 166:2001 a EN 175:1997-08. It provides protection against
harmful ultraviolet / infrared radiation, welding spatters and high speed particles (indicated: A). Welding
hood CA-29 Evolve represents the improved version of welding hood Evermatic Evolve and is adapt-
ed for use with powered air purifying respirators (hereinafter PAPR) CleanAIR® or with continuous flow
compressed air line breathing apparatuses (hereinafter "compressed air systems CleanAIR®) and thus
provides protection of the respiratory tract. The variant CA-29 Evolve is additionally certified according to
EN 12941:1998+A2:2008 and EN 14594:2005.
CleanAIR® is a system of personal respiratory protection based on the principle of overpressure of filtered
air in the breathing zone. The respirator is placed on the wearer's belt and filtrates the air which is taken
in from the surrounding environment and then delivers it through the airduct into the protective hood.
The overpressure prevents contaminants from entering the breathing zone. This mild overpressure at
the same time ensures the wearer's comfort, even with long-term use, as the wearer does not have to
struggle in their breathing to overcome the resistance of the filter.
2. Limitations on use
