WARNING!
When using the system on a portable compressed air supply system, it is
envisioned that the system will be used with a helper, with the appropriate
instructions for the warning device.
Note: When using hearing protectors or noise reduction equipment, the
audibility of the warnings is reduced.
User Note: A maximum of one user may use the portable air supply unit
with the appropriate warning instructions on the unit.
• It is not allowed to use oxygen or oxygen enriched air.
• Couplings and hose connections must be kept clean during connecting and disconnecting.
• The maximum length of the compressed air supply hose is 40 metres and the
maximum pressure is 40 Bar and the hose is anti-static. The maximum temperature
is 60°C. The maximum number of compressed air supply hoses, connected to each
other, may not exceed 2.
• The working pressure must be at least 2,5 Bar (maximum 5.0 Bar).
• Because of extreme human effort, it is possible that a temporary negative pressure
occurs in the abrasive blasting helmet, resulting in a reduction of the protection factor of
the system.
• Air speeds in excess of 2 m/s can affect the protection factor of the complete apparatus.
• The ambient usage temperature should be between the limits of –10 °C and +60 °C.
• When combined use is made of the compressed air, for both the abrasive blasting
helmet and the air tools (e.g. paint spray), it is necessary to ensure that, at the
maximum air consumption of the air tools, sufficient air is allowed to flow into the
abrasive blasting helmet. If necessary, the working pressure can be adjusted.
• The system may be used solely by trained personnel, who are also fully aware of the
hazards applicable to the work being carried out.
• The Abrasive Blasting Helmet has no EN 397 approval regarding safety helmets.
