 WARNING

1.  These products meet the requirements of certain industrial eyewear standards and with some 

models, 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 

practices and engineering controls. 

Misuse may result in serious injury or death

. For proper 

use, see supervisor, refer to the product 

User Instructions

 or contact 3M Technical Service.

2.  When exposed to eye and face hazards, wear additional eye and/or face protectors appropriate to 

the hazard. ANSI Z87.1-2010, incorporated by reference in the OSHA Eye and Face Standard 29 

CFR 1910.133, suggests safety spectacles or goggles should be worn in conjunction with loose 

fitting respirators if the visor can be raised from the normal position during use. 

Failure to do so 

may result in serious injury.
