Introduction

A grinding helmet is a headgear used to protect the eyes, face, and neck from dust and particles during grinding helmet consists of several parts (see spare parts list)Depending on the model, the helmet can be combined with a safety helmet and/or a PAPR system (Powered Air Purifying Respirator)

Safety instructions

Read these operating instructions carefully before using the equipment Incorrect use could endanger life and limb and void warranty claims against the manufacturer Performance of the PPE / Applications / Risks
An unlimited clear view of your workplace with or without filtered air distribution (depending on the model) with adjustable air distribution makes the clearmaxx a unique face and respiratory protection system with the highest level of safety Spare parts and accessories see Quick Start Guide
Ideal for: Grinding applications, metal industry, food industry, sandblasting, wood applications painting, landfills, and agriculture
In case of high air moisture content or major temperature differences, the visor can fog up thus causing impaired vision If the mechanical seal is incorrectly installed or defective, there is a risk of air pollutants entering the helmet (PAPR version)The lowest of all components used is always decisive for the overall identification of the helmet’s safety class  The helmet may only be used at room temperature against high-speed particles  When wearing glasses, shocks can be transmitted directly from the helmet to the head; for further risks/restrictions see below

Precautions and protective restrictions

• Before using the product, always check that the equipment is complete and that no damage has occurred during transport Never use faulty or damaged equipment
• The user must be familiar with the correct use of his/her personal protective equipment
• When using the protective screen with protection level 3, check whether the application is suitable for this, as the protective effect is only slight PAPR version only:
• The user of this head gear must also follow the instructions for the PAPR system and the filters
• Use the anti-fog visor only in conjunction with a switched-on PAPR system
• The helmet should only be used in conjunction with a certified ventilator that meets the requirements of national standards
• The filtered air overpressure in the protective headgear is the primary protection factor that prevents the ingress of air pollutants
• A disabled PAPR system does not protect the user’s respiratory organs A switched-off ventilator could lead to an increase in the carbon dioxide concentration and to a dangerous drop in oxygen in the headgear
• Make sure that the sealing line of the headgear is pressed firmly against your face; this is the only way to guarantee a perfect level of protection
• The protection factor may be impaired if the user’s hair or beard protrudes onto the mechanical seal part
• Strong wind from the side or back can impair the protection offered by the helmet
• In the event of extremely high levels of environmental particle contamination, inhalation may cause very low pressure in the helmet
• This could impair the protection
• In this case, do not remove the helmet or switch off the fan until you have left the danger area
• The fog-free clearmaxx visor must not be used:
• in a flammable or explosive atmosphere,
• if the inhaled air lacks oxygen (Europe: <17%, Australia <19%) or the toxin concentration is so high that the protection class is above TH3P for Europe and above P3 for Australia, in environments where there is an imminent danger to life and limb

You must also wear appropriate protective clothing to protect the rest of your body In some circumstances, particles or substances released by work processes can cause  allergic skin reactions in susceptible individuals
Helmet materials that come into contact with the skin can cause allergic reactions in sensitive individuals The anti-fog protective visor may only be used for grinding and for applications where particles, smoke or dust which can damage the respiratory tract are generated Never use the helmet for other applications
The helmet can affect the field of view due to constructive features As a result, signal lights or warning lights may not be seen  Furthermore, there is a risk of bumping due to the larger circumference (head with helmet) The helmet also impairs hearing and reduces the sensation of heat The manufacturer shall not be liable if the anti-fog visor is used for any purpose other than the intended purpose or in violation of the operating instructions

Warranty & liability

For the warranty conditions, please refer to the instructions provided by your national sales organization
For more information, please contact your retailer  The warranty only applies to material and manufacturing defects In the event of damage caused by unintended use,  tampering or any use not intended by the manufacturer, the warranty or liability shall be void  Similarly, liability and warranty are void if spare parts other than those sold by the manufacturer are used
Estimated service life
The anti-fog visor does not have an expiration date The product can be used as long as no visible or invisible damage or malfunctions occur
How to use (Quick Start Guide) p 2-3
Both Models (Standard and PAPR):

1. Head strap Set the upper adjusting strap (p 2-3) to suit your head size Push in the locking knob (p 2-3) and turn it until the head strap is fitting securely but without applying pressure
2. Distance from eyes  The distance between the protective glass and the eyes can be adjusted by releasing the locking knobs (p 2-3)Adjust both sides equally and do not tilt Then tighten the locking knobs again
3. Helmet angle The helmet angle can be adjusted using the rotary knob (p  2-3)
4.  Fastening the visor Fasten the lower part of the visor in the corresponding opening Then slide the upper part of the visor under the upper edge of the visor Push the side  edges of the visor into the lower grooves (p 2–3)

PAPR Version only:
I-III Air hose holder Click the air hose holder onto the headgear following the illustrations (p2-3) Step I
Connect the air hose to the helmet (steps II and III) and click the air hose into the air hose holder to fix it in place
IV Air distribution The airflow distribution can be adjusted from 100% in the breathing zone to 80% in the breathing zone and 20 % in the forehead zone to generate a cooling effect (p  2-3)
V Faceseal  Turn the adjusted helmet upside down and pull the mechanical seal strip under your chin
Make sure that the mechanical seal sits flush against your skin and that there is no leakage (p 2–3)

Cleaning, disinfection, and Maintenance

Non-PAPR and PAPR version: Check personal protective equipment (PPE) regularly in accordance with the operating instructions Scratched or damaged lenses should be replaced Cleaning: Wipe the entire helmet with a soft cloth dampened with a neutral detergent solution Wipe again with clean water Let the helmet dry in a clean environment. Replace sweatbands and comfort bands regularly for hygienic reasons Disinfection: Chlorine solution: Wipe with a clean, soft cloth that has been dampened with a chlorine solution (e.g. a 0,5% chlorine solution with 5,000 ppm of available chlorine) Alternatively, a combined detergent/disinfectant can be used. Hydrogen peroxide solution: Wipe with a clean, soft cloth dampened with a hydrogen peroxide solution (such as a 3% hydrogen peroxide solution). Alternatively, a combined detergent/disinfectant can be used.UVC ultraviolet light: Please note the information provided by the manufacturer of the UV device.
Note: Do not soak the helmet during cleaning. Final cleaning (only required after cleaning with a solution) Wipe all components with a clean, soft cloth dampened with clean, warm water.
Note: It is important to remove the chlorine-based or hydrogen peroxide products. Allow all components to air dry completely before reusing or storing. Additionally for PAPR version: The mechanical seal (PAPR version) should either be removed and washed by hand or carefully wiped off the helmet. Check the mechanical seal and the air nozzle for holes, cracks, or other damage, and ensure that they are correctly positioned on the helmet (see operating instructions). Do not use the system until all worn or damaged parts have been replaced. Use soapy water or a mild disinfectant. Replace the mechanical seal from time to time.
Note: Nitrile or vinyl gloves must be worn when cleaning/disinfecting. Make sure that suitable personal protective equipment (PPE) is used for cleaning.

Storage

The anti-fog visor must be stored at room temperature and low humidity Storing the helmet in the original packaging or in a dedicated backpack or in a PAPR bag increases the service life
