FUNCTION
Breathable, filtered, air passes through the inhalation valves to the inside of the visor.
The filtered air flows over the visor minimising visor misting then passes through check valves
to the inner mask. Excess and exhaled air is expelled through the exhalation valve.
(See also full face mask use instructions enclosed herewith).

USE
4.1
The following are some of the intended uses for which the PPE has been designed:
• Cutting, grinding and sanding of any type of-wood, metal, painted surfaces including lead-
based paints, marble and stone in general, fiberglass, carbon fiber.
• Powder coating, insulation work, bagging, woodworking, demolitions, brazing, cutting and
plasma cutting, metal polishing.
• Asbestos removal, extractions and excavations, foundries, cement works, renovations,
paving and tarring operations.
• Gardening, grain and animal feed handling, animal breeding
.
4.2
Limitations
a) Do not use in atmospheres immediately dangerous to life or health.
b) Do not wear for protection against vapours, gas, carbon monoxide and fumigants.
c) Do not use in closed environments (tanks, silos etc.).
d) Do not use for fire fighting
e) Do not use in atmospheres containing less than 17% oxygen.
f) Do not use in explosive atmospheres.
g) Do not use in environments, where the solid and/or liquid particle concentration in the
atmosphere is higher than 2000 times the TLV (nominal protection factor NPF, EN 529:2005).
h) Do not use in environments where the solid and/or liquid particle concentration in the
atmosphere is lower than 2000 times the TLV if said concentration produces atmospheres
immediately dangerous to life or health.
i)Not suitable for barb and glasses wearer.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
5.1
LI-870 battery recharge
The lithium battery must be recharged with Kasco LI-02 charger.( see battery charger use
instructions).
RECHARGE THE BATTERY AFTER EACH USE.
5.2
Battery and blower unit set-up
Slip belt through battery hook.
Connect battery to blower by means of cord and tighten nut to ensure contact.
Slip belt through T5 or T8 blower hook.
Make sure that the blower is functioning and that the filter seal gasket is properly housed.
Before using the filter for the first time check that seals are unaltered and within the
expiry date and that they fit the respirator. Do not misinterpret the filter labeling according
to other standards with the classification of this PPE according to EN
12942:98+A1/02+A2/08.
Remove covers from the filter, screw it though the EN148-1 thread onto the chosen
respirator and read the filter use instructions.
Connect breathing tube to the face mask and to the T5 or T8 blower unit.
Screw M3 blower unit to the face mask connector.
5.3
Face mask set up
See full face mask Use and Maintenance instructions enclosed.
5.4
Donning the face mask
See full face mask Use and Maintenance instructions enclosed.
5.5
Airflow indicator with sphere - use instructions
Disconnect the blower-face mask breathing tube (for T5 e T8).
Make sure that the battery is fully charged (see battery charging instructions) and that
the filters are screwed on properly.
Insert the airflow indicator vertically onto the blower outlet.
Start the blower and observe the position of the ball inside the tube.
a) If the indicator ball rises above the indicator line, the equipment is ready for use. (See 2.2
above)
b) If the ball remains below the indicator line, replace the filters and repeat the test. Should the
ball still remain below the indicator line, replace the battery and the filter and repeat
complete test.
c)Do not use the PPE if the ball does not move at all.
Remove the airflow indicator and reconnect the hose to the unit.

MAINTENANCE
6.1
Full face mask
See full face mask Use and Maintenance instructions enclosed).
6.2
Blower units
The motor does not require servicing.
Clean blower with organic solvent free detergents or better still with a cloth dipped into a
50% water ethyl alcohol solution.
6.3
LITHIUM Battery
The battery does not require servicing or tipping up.
Clean battery with organic solvent free detergents or better still with a cloth dipped into a 50%
water ethyl alcohol solution.
RECHARGE IMMEDIATELY AFTER EVERY USE FOR LONGER LIFE. THE BATTERIES
CANNOT BE KEPT DISCHARGED. In case of default check the tension . the batteries are
equipped with a protection circuit that cuts the alimentation off in case of current overload
RECHARGE THE BATTERY EVERY 3 MONTHS IF NOT USED.
6.4
FILTERS
If sealed, the filters remain unaltered until the expiry date shown on them.
Unsealed filters have to be replaced every three months, regardless of the amount of
hours worked. It is thus advisable to write the date on which the filter was opened on
the filter itself.
Filters cannot be washed, blown out or restored. When exhausted they must be
disposed of.
Replace both filters simultaneously.
6.5
The respirator is to be serviced once a year by KASCO or Kasco authorized service
centre.
6.6
After asbestos removal work, decontaminate as follows:
take a shower while wearing all PPEs including the respirator switched ON.
remove the filter/filters and dispose of them in the appropriate containers. N.B. The filter
is not to be reused for asbestos removal activities.
allow the respirator to dry
fit plugs on the blower unit and store the respirator.

WARNING
7.1
- Do not use the respirator under the conditions listed at point 4.2
- Do not use the respirator unless the airflow check indicated at point 5.5 has been
carried out.
7.2
- Do not immerse unit in water for cleaning without appropriate caps
- Do not use if the air flow indicator shows a low flow.(See 5.5)
7.3
- DO NOT KEEP DISCHARGED, RECHARGE IMMEDIATELY AFTER EACH USE
- Do not place battery near any heat source.
- Do not place battery on or near equipment which vibrates excessively.
- In case of battery breakage wash immediately the parts which have in
contact
- Do not expose battery to infrared or ultraviolet rays excessively.
- Do not perforate, crush, disassemble or open the battery as leakage could catch fire,
explode or release dangerous substance.
7.4
- To recharge the battery only use the LI-02 battery charger
- Keep the battery charger connected to the battery only if the charger is powered.
- The battery charges correctly if carried out at a temperature between 15°C and 25°C.
7.5
- Do not use expired filters even if their seals are still intact.
- Do not use a filter for more than three months.
7.6
Return to fresh, clean air immediately and take OFF helmet if:
a) Leakage is detected by smell, taste or eye, nose or throat irritation.
b) Inhaled air becomes extremely hot.
c) Any feeling of nausea, dizziness or ill being develops.
7.7
THE RESPIRATOR PROVIDES REDUCED PROTECTION IN THE EVENT OF A
MALFUNCTION OF THE VENTILATION UNIT: oxygen would be consumed quickly and
the concentration of carbon dioxide produced by breathing would exceed acceptable
limits.
7.8
Never alter or modify this respirator in any way.
7.9
Do not use the respirator if the mask has not been cleaned and accurately
decontaminated.
7.10 Do not use the respirator with mask if the inward leakage test, indicated hereunder,
carried out on the mask is negative:
7.10.1 Leakage test:
Close the female thread with the palm of a hand and inhale slightly to generate a
negative pressure (vacuum inside the mask). Hold your breath for a moment. If the
negative pressure is not maintained, tighten the straps further and repeat the test.
(See also face mask instructions).
7.11 This equipment is to be used only by qualified personnel with knowledge of its technical
and legal limits .
7.12 Do not use the respirator if your sense of smell is in any way impaired.
7.13 Do not use the respirator if it has not been serviced annually by a Kasco authorized
service centre.

REPAIRS
8.1
Use only genuine KASCO spares.
8.2
For setting and adjustment of electric parts contact KASCO exclusively.
8.3
Should you require technical assistance for problems that could arise while using
KASCO equipment ,the following information is necessary:
type of respirator ,serial number, name of distributor or dealer, problem, power used, type and
concentration of pollutant, type of filter used, use frequency, also include a sketch or drawing
of the type of work carried out if you feel it might be useful.
