Mesh visor: The mesh visor provides protection against low-velocity flying particles hitting the face
from the front or side. The mesh eye and face protector does not protect against liquid splash
(including molten metal), hot solids, electrical hazards, infrared and ultra violet radiation.
Plastic visor: The plastic visor provides protection against low-velocity and medium velocity flying
particles, dust and splashes, and molten metal droplets hitting the face from the front or side. The
plastic visor does not provide protection against electric arcing or particles thrown at high speed.
Check each time before using the face shield that it is in perfect condition (for example, visual
state of face shield). If the face shield is damaged or has been altered, it must be disposed of
immediately.
The visors can only be used together with STIHL carriers. The SAFE 2 carrier can only be
attached to the FUNCTION Basic helmet. For visual details on assembling the visor and visor
carrier, please refer to the images in the beginning of this manual.
WARNING!
When subject to high speed particles, impacts may be transmitted when wearing a visor over
standard ophthalmic spectacles, creating a hazard to the wearer. If the impact marking F or B is
not followed immediately by the letter T, the visor should only be used against high speed particles
in room temperature.
Material that comes into contact with the skin can cause allergic reactions in sensitive users.
The visor does not provide adequate protection against particles thrown into the air at high speed.
Eye protection in compliance with EN 166 must be worn whenever you use a brushcutter, edger,
clearing saw, blower / mistblower or cut-off saw. STIHL recommends additionally wearing safety
glasses complying with EN 166.
To avoid damage to the material do not allow this face shield to come into contact with pointed or
sharp objects (chain saw chain,metal tools, etc.) or aggressive substances such as aggressive
detergents, acids, oils, solvents, fuels, etc.
Contact with hot objects (exhaust, etc.) and other sources of heat (open fire, stove, etc.) should
also be avoided.
When products with different marks are combined, the mark of the lowest protection class applies.
Visors with symbol 9 (molten metal droplets) must be fitted to a carrier marked F or B together with
symbol 9. Visors with symbol 8 (short circuit electric arc) must be fitted with a filter of scale no: 2-
1,2 or 3-1,2 and have a thickness of 1,4 mm.
Any modifications to the face shield can impair the protective effect. Therefore do not modify the
face shield in any way. If the face shield has been modified, it must be disposed of immediately.
No personal protective equipment can ensure total protection against injury. The level of
protection depends on a large number of factors.
This face shield is no substitute for a safe working technique. Improper use of a power tool can
result in accidents. It is therefore essential to observe the safety regulations issued by the
respective authorities (employer’s liability insurance associations, etc.) and the safety instructions
in the Instruction Manual of the power tool being used.
