WARNING
Read and Understand All Instructions Before
Using the Equipment.
SAFETY WARNINGS
The respirator system is intended to be used to provide protection when
the user works in the contamination environment. The equipment is able
to filter the contaminated air via the filter build in to the blower and then
supply fresh air from breathing tube to the welding face shield, so that
the user can continue working in the contamination environment. It is
a combined face and breathing protection device for increased safety
and comfort during welding. Please read the instructions carefully
before unpacking. For proper use, see user instructions or contact the
manufacturers for help.
The system complies with the requirements of PPE Regulation 2016/425
and European Standard EN 12941: 1998+A2:2008 class TH3 P R S L.
The respirator system is designed to provide a supply of filtered air via
a breathing tube to a welding headpiece. The equipment can be used in
environments that require a TH3P class breathing protection device. It
protects against particulate contamination.
All components used in the respirator system must be manufacturer
approved parts, and must be used in accordance with the instructions
in this manual.
•
The approval is not valid if the product is incorrectly used together
with non-approved parts or components.
•
Only the particle filter and pre-filter can be used together with
this system. Filters from other manufactures should under no
circumstances be used.
Failure to follow these warnings and/or failure to follow all of the operating
instructions could result in severe personal injury.
•
Before each use, inspect the respirator system for damage and
verify it operates properly. Before using the respirator system, test
air flow to verify it is providing an adequate volume of air.
•
Always wear the respirator system and do not remove the head
top or turn off the air filter unit until outside the contaminated area,
otherwise, there is a risk of high concentration of CO
2
while the
oxygen level in the head top will fall, thus little or no protection is
given.
•
If you are not sure about the concentration of pollution, or about
equipment performance, ask the industrial safety engineer.
Warnings:
•
The respirator system devices should be used by well trained
personal and qualified persons only.
•
Before using the devices, ensure you have understood that at very
high work rates the pressure in the device may become negative at
peak inhalation flow.
•
Before and during using the devices, attention shall be drawn to
possible incorrect use and, where appropriate, the possibility of
looped hoses and or cables becoming caught up.
•
Before or during using the devices, if the devices are in the power-
off state, little or no respirator protection is to be expected. This is
considered to be an abnormal situation.
•
Please leave the work place and remove the headgear when the
devices are in the power off state. A rapid build-up of carbon dioxide
and depletion of oxygen within the hood may occur.
•
The filters shall only be fitted to the turbo unit and not directly to the
helmet
•
The user should not confuse the markings on a filter relating to any
standard other than EN 12941 with the classification of this device
when used with this filter.
Do not:
•
DO NOT use the SparX Single Air with the blower unit switched off
•
DO NOT use the SparX Single Air in an atmosphere that is
immediately hazardous to user hygiene or health and/or has oxygen
content of less than 19,5% or contains unknown substances
•
DO NOT use the SparX Single Air in an explosive atmosphere
•
DO NOT use the SparX Single Air in confined spaces or areas of
poor ventilation
•
DO NOT use the SparX Single Air in high winds
•
DO NOT alter or modify in any way
•
DO NOT touch any of the moving parts
•
DO NOT allow water or other liquids to enter the impeller chamber,
the filter or battery compartment
The manufacturer is not responsible for injury due to the incorrect
