8
DO NOT
place the helmet on a hot surface.
8
DO NOT
use helmet without front cover window fitted. To do so will invalidate your warranty.
9
Clean helmet (see section 5.5) and store the helmet in a safe, dry, childproof location.
WARNING!
Before welding always inspect the cartridge filter to ensure that it is not damaged. To test the filter prior to welding, direct
the front of the cartridge filter to a bright light source which will cause the lens to darken. Then using your hand rapidly cover and
uncover the sensor. The filter should lighten momentarily then return to a dark state.
WARNING!
DO NOT
use the helmet if damaged or you suspect it may be faulty. (Contact Sealey Stockist).
▲
DANGER
!
DO NOT
use if, at any time, the face plate in the cartridge FAILS to darken when exposed to a welding spark. Remove
cartridge and return to your Sealey stockist for checking.
9
Continued use of the product knowing that the auto darkening feature is NOT FUNCTIONING may DAMAGE YOUR EYES and
CAUSE BLINDNESS.
▲
DANGER
!
DO NOT
wear this respirator system to enter areas where:
1. Atmospheres are oxygen deficient.
2. Contaminant concentrations are unknown.
3. Contaminant concentrations are Immediately Dangerous to Life or Health.
4. Contaminant concentrations exceed the maximum use concentration determined using the assigned Protection Factor for the
specific respirator system.
WARNING!
The Particle filter cannot be cleaned.
DO NOT
attempt to remove contamination using for example compressed air as
this will destroy the filters, the equipment will not give the expected protection and the warranty will be invalidated.
9
If ventilation is poor, wear an approved air-supplied respirator.
9
Read and understand the Material Safety Data Sheets and the manufacturer’s instructions for metals, consumables, coatings,
cleaners, and degreasers.
9
Work in confined space only if it is well ventilated, or while wearing an air-supplied respirator. Always have a trained watch-
person nearby. Welding fumes and gases can displace air and lower the oxygen level causing injury or death. Be sure the breathing
air is safe.
8
DO NOT
weld in locations near degreasing, cleaning, or spraying operations. The heat and rays of the arc can react with vapours to
form highly toxic and irritating gases.
8
DO NOT
weld on coated metals, such as galvanized, lead, or cadmium plated steel, unless the coating is removed from the weld
area, the area is well ventilated, and while wearing an air-supplied respirator. The coatings and any metals containing these
elements can give off toxic fumes if welded. RESPIRATOR (PAPR) MISUSE can be hazardous. Welding produces fumes and gases.
Breathing these fumes and gases can be hazardous to your health.
9
Read and follow these instructions and the safety labels carefully. The powered air purifying respirator (PAPR) helps protect the
user from specific airborne contaminants but must be used correctly to be fully effective. Have an industrial hygienist test the air
in your facility to ensure the PAPR provides adequate protection from contaminants in your environment. If you have questions
about the respirator, see equipment warning label and consult your Safety Director and a certified Industrial Hygienist.
9
Follow all applicable EN/ANSI/CSA/AS&NZS, and other regulatory guidelines pertaining to the use of respirators.
8
DO NOT
use the powered air purifying respirator where there is danger of fire or explosion.
8
DO NOT
use the powered air purifying respirator in windy conditions or negative pressure inside the hood may draw in
contaminants from the outside air.
8
DO NOT
use the powered air purifying respirator without a properly installed spark guard cover. Without the spark guard cover,
welding sparks may ignite the filter, or damage the filter and allow unfiltered air into the helmet.
9
The powered air purifying respirator does not supply oxygen. Use the respirator only in atmospheres for which it is EN/ANSI/CSA/
AS&NZS approved.
DO NOT
use the respirator where oxygen levels are 19.5% or lower, where contaminant levels are unknown or
are immediately dangerous to life or health, or where the contaminant levels exceed the respirator specifications.
8
DO NOT
enter a hazardous area until you are sure the respirator equipment is correctly assembled, working properly, and properly
worn.
9
Before each use, inspect the respirator equipment for damage and verify it operates properly, Before using the respirator, test air
flow to verify it is providing an adequate volume of air.
8
DO NOT
use the powered air purifying respirator without all filter components or with the blower turned off, as hazardous levels of
oxygen and carbon dioxide may accumulate in helmet.
9
Always wear the powered air purifying respirator when entering a contaminated area.
DO NOT
remove the respirator until outside
the contaminated area.
9
Dangerous contaminants may not smell or be visible. Leave the area immediately if you notice the following:
- Breathing becomes difficult.
- You experience dizziness, impaired vision, or eye, nose, or mouth irritation.
- The powered air purifying respirator alarm sounds.
- The equipment is damaged.
- Air flow decreases or stops.
- If you think the equipment is not supplying adequate protection.
8
DO NOT
remove the equipment until you are in a safe area.
8
DO NOT
repair, modify, or disassemble the powered air purifying respirator or use with parts or accessories not supplied by the
manufacturer. Use only those components that are part of the approved assembly.
9
Replace damaged or clogged filters.
DO NOT
wash or reuse filters.
DO NOT
clean filters by tapping or with compressed air or filter
elements may be damaged. Dispose of used filter elements according to local, state, and federal requirements.
9
The powered air purifying respirator must be used with the helmet, hood, and filters recommended by the manufacturer to provide a
respirator system. See the label on the blower for information on the required equipment.
8
DO NOT
use the powered air purifying respirator belt or shoulder straps(if equipped) as a safety harness.
2. INTRODUCTION
PAPR (Powered Air Purifying Respirator) system with auto darkening welding helmet. Lithium battery powered respirator unit provides the user
a constant filtered stream of air to their head and face for up to approx. 8 hours. The filter is designed to reduce or remove dust and particles but
not vapours and gases. The kit meets performance class TH1 according to EN 12941:1998/A2:2008. Adjustable airflow settings of 150/180/210L/
