Warning:
Particular attention must be paid to ensuring that the equipment is not accidentally
connected to other gas supplies, e.g. oxygen, acetylene or nitrogen. Never connect the breathing
air line to an air source that has not been tested for gas or particulate contamination.
s) The operator must assess the risk of potentially dangerous substances (e.g. nitrogen) at the
workplace.
t) The blast helmet is labelled in the customary manner. This label is clearly visible and durable.

u) The cape and cape fastener are also labelled. The blast helmet is not suitable for use for other
operations such as welding or painting.
-The helmet is not suitable for use in flammable atmospheres.
-The helmet can be worn with the head in the usual vertical or slightly inclined position.
-The air indicator will not function in forced postures, e.g. with the head in a horizontal position
when lying down.
-The helmet also protects the skin on the operator’s head and neck from grazing caused by re-
bounding blast media.
-The quality of the air supply is critical and very important for ensuring the safety and wellbeing
of the operator.
Do not use a piston compressor (oil bath) to generate the breathing air as there is a great risk it
may produce high carbon monoxide concentrations.
The presence of excessive carbon monoxide concentrations may result in the operator’s death.
-If special air sources are used, e.g. a cylinder trolley or portable air tanks, these must be
equipped with warning devices in accordance with EN14594:2018.
v) A maximum of four operators can be connected simultaneously to the CPF filter.
2.3 Toxic dust poisoning
The following applies for model 1 and model 2 protective clothing in accordance with DIN EN ISO
14877:2003 (D):
Research has identified the potential risks of lead poisoning to unprotected operators and other per-
sonnel who may be exposed to lead-containing abrasive dust in the vicinity of abrasive blasting oper-
ations. This dust is primarily the result of removing lead-containing paints. A risk to human life and
health may also result from paints containing heavy metals, asbestos or other toxic dust.
