The ear protectors guard the wearer against noise. They are only suitable for attaching to W-1000 series safety helmets.
The eye-shield is designed to protect the eyes against mechanical risks caused by flying particles in industry, laboratories, educational establishments, and DIY activities. This eye-shield is only suitable for attaching to W-1000 series safety helmets.
Adjustments
Adjusting the head strap
- The headband should fit your head snugly when you put on the helmet.
- Tighten the headband by turning the head strap adjuster clockwise.
- Loosen the headband by turning the head strap adjuster anticlockwise.
- The helmet must sit firmly on your head without exerting uncomfortable pressure.
Adjusting the ear protectors
- You can adjust the height and position of the ear protectors.
- Push down the bracket of the ear protectors to lock them onto your ears.
- Slide the ear protectors up or down to set them to the required height.
- Turn the ear protectors to set them to the required position.
- Flipping the ear protectors outwards makes them easier to put on or take off. If this causes the tension to decrease, use the ear protector adjuster to re-tighten it.
Adjusting the eye-shield
Alternatively, you can flip the eye-shield all the way up.
General Safety Instructions
Please pay close attention to the following information and safety instructions to ensure the best possible protection and comfort.
- Whenever you use the helmet, first check that all components are properly attached, adjusted, and serviced.
- Always use the helmet with the correct settings to ensure the required protection.
- The helmet cannot guarantee complete protection against injury. It does not replace adherence to safe work procedures.
- Never modify the structure or varnish of the helmet.
- The helmet must not come into contact with liquids containing solvents or alcohol, as these substances can damage the plastic.
- Knocks or other impacts can cause imperceptible damage to the helmet, such as hairline cracks, compromising its protection, especially in emergencies. Replace the helmet if it has been subject to extreme stresses.
- Examine the helmet for damage (cracks, tears) before every use. Only use the helmet and accessories if they are in flawless condition.
- Do not modify the helmet, as this could compromise its protective effect. Please adhere to all instructions and tips regarding assembly, adjustments, and maintenance of the ear protectors.
- The ear protectors are intended to protect your ears in noisy areas and should be worn for as long as the noise persists.
- The pads of the ear protectors will show signs of wear over time. Examine them for tears or loose spots after each use.
- Do not clean the ear protectors with chemicals or substances that are harmful to the wearer. Certain chemical substances can damage this product.
- Earmuffs and their foam padding can wear down over time. Examine them regularly for tears, loose spots, and other signs of wear. Covering the foam pads with hygiene covers can compromise the acoustics of the earmuffs.
Warning
Always flip down the eye-shield when wearing the helmet. It protects you from flying objects. Clear lenses offer no protection against optical radiation given off during welding and cutting work and are not suitable for looking directly into the sun. Eye protectors for protection against high-speed particles, when worn over standard ophthalmic spectacles, may transmit impacts, creating a hazard. Optical class 3 oculars are not intended for long-term use. The eye-shield shall only be used against high-speed particles at temperatures between -5°C and 55°C. If in doubt, consult your supplier.
Maintenance, Cleaning, Storage, and Transportation
- Examine components for damage and signs of wear before each use.
- Always clean the helmet after finishing your work.
- Use a moistened cloth to clean the helmet, ear protectors, and visor. Never use petrol, solvents, or cleansers that can damage plastic.
- To disinfect the helmet and ear protectors, use only cleaning agents that do not contain solvents or aggressive substances.
- Store the helmet, ear protectors, and eye-shield in a clean, dry environment away from UV rays.
- The helmet can be transported in the box in which it was sold.
