c) If wrist circumference is 6” or less, try on the cuff “as is” to gauge the comfort
and seal provided. Continue with trimming only if required.
d) If trimming is required, mark a circular line around the cuff that is offset from the
original cuff end by the recommended “Trim Off” amount (Fig. 24).
e) Using sharp scissors, or a razor, carefully cut the cuff end at the marked line.
Evaluate the fit and comfort after each cut. Apply talcum powder to your hand
and wrist to make donning the cuff much easier. Don the sleeve by pointing the
fingers straight, tucking the thumb underneath and inserting the hand through
the seal. Do not make a fist when putting your wrist through the seal. Forcing
the wrist through a cuff that is too small may tear the cuff end open (Fig. 25).
f) If further trimming is required, shorten the cuff end 1/8” at a time until the
optimum balance of fit and comfort is achieved. It is not recommended to
exceed the original cut by more than 1/2”.
g) To maximize the protection provided by the wrist seals, try to minimize flexing of
the hand-wrist-arm muscles when in the water.
Trim to Fit Instructions - Used Suits
The condition of a used suit may not be obvious, so carefully don each of the wrist
seals prior to trimming. To ensure a watertight seal that provides safety, the fit should
be slightly uncomfortable without cutting off circulation to your hand. Don’t cut off
more than the required amount, otherwise the safety provided by the wrist seal may be
compromised. Perform the following steps to trim the wrist seals of a used MSD901.
a) Apply talcum powder to your hand and wrist to make donning the cuff much
easier.
b) Don the sleeve by pointing the fingers straight, tucking the thumb underneath
and inserting the hand through the seal. Do not make a fist when putting your
wrist through the seal. Forcing the wrist through a cuff that is too small may tear
the cuff end open.
c) If further trimming is required, shorten the cuff end 1/8” at a time until the
optimum balance of fit and comfort is achieved.
To maximize the protection provided by the wrist seals, try to minimize flexing of the
hand-wrist-arm muscles when in the water.
