3. Usage
The Respiratory System is designed to provide a supply of filtered air via a breathing tube to welding headpiece.
The complete system is a breathing device complying with EN 12941: 1998+A2:2008, class TH2 P R SL.
The equipment can be used in enviroment that requires a class TH2P breathing protection device. It protects against articulate contamination.
Limitations to use
The Respiratory System must only be used with the unit switched on. If the equipment is used without the unit switched on, there is a risk of high
concentration of CO2 and the oxygen level in the head top will fall, thus little or no protection is given in the power-off state and this is considered to be an
abnormal situation. Do not remove the head top or turn off the air filter unit until you have vacated the contaminated area.. If you are not sure about the
concentration of pollution, or about equipment performance, ask the industrial safety engineer. The manufacturer or supplier is not responsible for injury
following incorrect use or incorrect choice of equipment.
DO NOT use the Autodim Welding helmet with the blower unit switched off.
DO NOT use the Autodim Welding helmet 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 Autodim helmets in an explosive atmosphere.
DO NOT use Autodim helmets in confined spaces or areas of poor ventilation.
DO NOT use Autodim helmets 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.
