SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The Speedglas welding helmets 9100 MP and 9100 MP-Lite
help protect the wearer's eyes and face from sparks/spatter,
harmful ultra-violet radiation (UV) and infra-red radiation
(IR) resulting from certain arc/ gas welding processes.
They also provide head protection (see approvals section
for details). The products are designed to be used only
with Speedglas protection plates and welding filter series

LIMITATIONS OF USE
Only use with original 3M spare parts and accessories
listed in the reference leaflet and within the usage
conditions given in the Technical Specifications.
The use of substitute components, decals, paint or other
modifications not specified in these user instructions might
seriously impair protection and may invalidate claims under
the warranty or cause the product to be noncompliant with
protection classifications and approvals.
Eye protectors worn over standard ophthalmic spec-
tacles may transmit impacts thus creating a hazard to
the wearer.
The Speedglas welding helmets 9100 MP and 9100
MP-Lite are not designed for overhead welding/cutting
operations when there is a risk of burns from falling
molten metal.
The side windows should be covered with the cover
plates in situations when other welders are working
beside you and in situations where reflected light can
pass through the side windows (see fig K:1-K:2)
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 definition. Individual countries may apply their
own limits on oxygen deficiency. 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, airflow into the
headtop decreases or stops, breathing becomes difficult,
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.
This product meets the requirement of certain industrial
eyewear standards and certain industrial head protection
standards. They do not provide complete head, eye
and face protection from severe impact and penetration
and are not a substitute for good safety practice and
engineering controls.
The safety helmet/bump cap is made to absorb the
energy of a blow by partial destruction or damage to the
shell and the harness, and even though such damage
may not be readily apparent, any helmet subjected to
severe impact should be replaced.
The Speedglas welding helmet 9100 MP-Lite (bump cap)
does not provide protection against the effects of falling
or thrown objects, or moving suspended loads. It should
not be used instead of an industrial safety helmet as
specified in EN 397.
When working in cold environments the 52 30 01 antifog
visor plate shall be used due to risk of fogging.
Do not use in high heat environments above the
recommended maximum temperature.
