Safety Information
Always prioritize safety when using power tools and performing outdoor work. This protective equipment is designed to reduce risks, but it does not eliminate them entirely. Adhere to all safety guidelines provided with your tools and always inspect your PPE before each use.
- Ensure the visor is clean and free from obstructions for clear visibility.
- Verify that ear protection is properly sealed around the ears to maximize noise reduction.
- Do not use this product if any part is damaged or worn. Replace damaged components immediately.
- This mesh visor provides protection against impacts from larger debris but does not protect against fine dust or liquids. Consider wearing safety glasses underneath for additional eye protection against fine particles.
- Always wear appropriate clothing and other PPE, such as gloves and protective footwear, for the task at hand.

Setup and Adjustment
The OREGON protective headgear is designed for easy adjustment to ensure a secure and comfortable fit.
- Headband Adjustment: Locate the adjustment knob or strap at the back of the headband. Rotate the knob or pull the strap to expand or contract the headband until it fits snugly around your head without being too tight.
- Visor Positioning: The mesh visor can be pivoted up or down. Ensure the visor is in the down position, covering your face, before beginning work.
- Ear Muff Adjustment: The ear muffs are adjustable vertically along the headband. Slide each ear muff up or down until it completely covers your ears and forms a tight seal. The ear muffs should apply even pressure around your ears for optimal noise reduction.
- Single Point Adjustment: This model features a unique single-point adjustment system for integrated comfort and fit of the headband, visor, and ear protection.

Maintenance
Proper maintenance will extend the lifespan of your OREGON protective headgear and ensure its continued effectiveness.
Cleaning:
- After each use, clean the mesh visor with a soft brush or cloth to remove debris. For stubborn dirt, use mild soap and water, then rinse thoroughly.
- Wipe down the ear muffs and headband with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the materials.

Inspection:
- Regularly inspect the mesh visor for any tears, holes, or significant damage.
- Check the ear muffs for cracks, hardening of the cushions, or loss of seal.
- Examine the headband and adjustment mechanisms for signs of wear, cracks, or looseness.
- Replace any damaged components immediately.
Storage:
- Store the headgear in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Avoid placing heavy objects on top of the headgear, which could deform the ear muffs or visor.
