INTRODUCTION
The Airshield is a lightweight Powered
Respirator intended for protection against all
solid dusts. This is combined with full eye and
face protection from impact and chemical liquid
splash.
The Airshield is powered by either one or two
rechargeable battery packs inside the respirator.
Air is filtered through the respirator to provide a
constant flow of clean air over the face. A soft
face seal ensures positive pressure is
maintained within the visor and prevents debris
or contaminated air entering the visor area. The
visor is mounted on a fully adjustable headband
providing a comfortable fit for most head sizes.
Typical use for the Airshield Respirator is the
protection of individuals in Agriculture,
Engineering, Pottery, Insulation, Woodworking,
Dental Laboratories, Aerospace and other places
where dust is present. All respirators must be
used in atmospheres containing sufficient
oxygen to support life (usually 17% to 23% by
volume).
All parts, including filters and accessories are
easily changed without the use of special tools
and come packed for immediate use.
Read this manual before using the Airshield. It
must be fitted and used in accordance with this
manual to obtain the design performance. Use
as part of your maintenance programme.
