WARNINGS
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS BODILY INJURY OR DEATH.

This hard hat is designed to provide limited head protection from small falling objects, such as small tools, nuts and bolts, etc., striking the top of the hard hat. A Type II helmet MUST be used for protection against front, side or rear blows.
DO NOT expose suspension and padding to open flame.
ELECTRICAL WARNING: Avoid areas where the chance of electrical shock exists. Non-vented versions meet Class E requirements by providing limited electrical protection. Class C vented models provide NO electrical protection.
If the hard hat has sustained an impact, dispose of it IMMEDIATELY, even if damage is not visible.
NEVER alter, puncture, modify or engrave the shell or the suspension.
DO NOT use paints, solvents, chemicals, adhesives, gasoline
or like substances on this hard hat – doing so can lessen the protection offered against impact and penetration.
DO NOT use this hard hat as a vehicular or recreational hard hat.
DO NOT store objects between the suspension and the shell, as the hard hat will not function as intended and can lessen the protection from impact and penetration.
Exposure to direct sunlight, corrosive environments, and/or extreme temperatures above 120°F (49°C) can lessen the ability of the hard hat to withstand impact and penetration.

USEFUL LIFE

SUSPENSION : Must be replaced after no more than 12 months of use.
ENTIRE HARD HAT : Entire Hard Hat must be replaced after no more than 2 years of regular use, or 5 years from the date of manufacture, whichever comes first.
These are MAXIMUM useful service life guidelines. Regular inspection as detailed in the MAINTENANCE section above MUST be performed, and may result in possible earlier replacement.
NOTE : This replacement schedule is a guideline that assumes normal use and storage conditions for the hard hat. If the hard hat is exposed to temperature extremes, persistent sunlight, or chemicals, replacement may be required in a shorter time frame.

FITTING (FIG. D)
All hard hats come with suspension pre-installed at factory settings. The suspension can be adjusted to ensure proper and secure fit to your head for maximum protection. Follow the steps below

STEP 1 : Turn the size adjustment knob 9 counterclockwise to loosen the fit. Position the rear pad on the back of your head, closer to the neck. Dress any bandana knots or ponytails over the rear neck pad 10
STEP 2: Tighten by turning the size adjustment knob 9 clockwise until the hard hat is comfortable and snug. Move your head up, down and side-to-side gently, like you would normally, and make sure the hard hat stays on. Make sure that the hard hat is not angled forward or backward, but rests level on your head.

ADJUSTMENTS (FIG. E)

If the hard hat does not fit properly at the factory settings, you can further adjust the fit:

STEP 1 : Free the suspension by turning the suspension bracket 16 approximately 90 degrees to free the bracket key 17 from the bracket key slots.
STEP 2 : Determine which slot 18 you want to reattach to. Using the bracket slots deeper in the hard hat will move it higher on the head and vice versa. Insert the bracket key 17 and turn the bracket 16 approximately 90 degrees to lock into place. Always match the settings on the left and right sides to prevent the suspension from sitting at an angle.
STEP 3 : Verify the hard hat fits properly. Follow the steps in the FITTING section to ensure proper fit. Ensure that accessories you plan to use fit and function properly while maintaining the hard hat’s ability to perform its function optimally. Check with a qualified safety expert, if unsure.
NOTE : The suspension strap lengths are fixed and cannot be adjusted. DO NOT attempt to alter.

REVERSE DONNING (FIG. F)

NOTE : Some job sites may not permit reverse donning – Check with your jobsite’s Safety Supervisor before changing your hard hat to this configuration.
STEP 1 : Place your forefinger under the strap anchor, and your thumb over the anchor slot 11 . Push up with forefinger using enough force to release the anchor from the slot.
Do this for all anchor slots (4 total). NOTE : DO NOT pull on the suspension straps to free the anchor. This could permanently damage the straps, preventing them from performing as intended.
STEP 2 : Make any height adjustments for the sweatband before installation.
STEP 3 : Push down each anchor until a click is heard and the anchor cannot be pushed down any further. Do this for all 4 anchors. NOTE: DO NOT use sharp tools that may damage the anchors, or pull on the straps to secure the anchors.
STEP 4 : Check proper installation by pushing up on all 4 anchor bases. The anchors should remain fully seated in their slots. If not, repeat STEP 3.
STEP 5 : Verify the hard hat fits properly. Follow the steps in the FITTING section to ensure proper fit. Also ensure that accessories you plan to use fit and function properly while maintaining the hard hat’s ability to perform optimally.

*SWEATBAND AND TOP COMFORT PAD (FIG.H)*
Klein Tools hard hats come with an advanced sweatband and top comfort pad designed to wick away sweat. They are machine washable in a normal wash cycle. Do NOT wash with bleach or with detergents containing bleach. Machine dry on normal or low heat setting only.
The sweatband and top comfort pad* can be easily removed and reinstalled on the suspension

The top comfort pad* is held in place by a single hook-and-loop pad 25 .
The sweatband is held in place by four suspension hooks 26 and three hook-and-loop pads 25 , on the side and front. To remove, simply detach all hook-and-loop pads and slide the sweatband off the suspension hooks.

VENTS (C-CLASS ONLY)
Klein Tools Class C hard hats have vents and shutters on both sides. The vents can be adjusted by simply sliding the shutter tabs 7 up or down.
The vents and shutters will NOT prevent vapors, liquids, or debris smaller than the vents from entering the hard hat.

KHH56220 HEADLAMP (FIG.G)
The optional KH56220 is a removable headlamp designed specifically for Klein hard hats that have the integrated front and rear accessory slots. It functions as a spot light or flood light, and has magnet to attach onto magnetic surfaces for use as a work light. Three AAA alkaline batteries are included.

19 Release tab
20 On/Off/Mode button
21 Spot light (150 lumens)
22 Flood lights (50 lumens total)

The KH56220 can be attached to both the front and back of the headlamp via the Klein Tools accessory slot. It can also be tilted up to 45° while attached to a hard hat, and up to 62° when used as a stand-alone work light.
To install the headlamp onto a Klein hard hat, align the pivoting mount 24 with the Klein Tools accessory slot 6 on the hard hat and push down until the headlamp clicks securely into place.
To remove the headlamp, press forward on the Release Tab 19 , and lift the headlamp out of the accessory slot.

*REFLECTIVE STICKERS (FIG. C)

MAINTENANCE

HARD HAT CLEANING AND STORAGE

Clean the hard hat and suspension with mild soap and water only. Rinse and wipe dry. Store in a cool place.
See SWEATBAND AND TOP COMFORT PAD section of the operating instructions (on other side) for additional maintenance information.
INSPECTION AND REPLACEMENT
Inspect the hard hat, including the suspension and shell, before and after each use:
Check the Hard Hat’s shell for any cracks, breakage, discoloration, chalky appearance, or any other damage, excessive wear or unusual condition. These conditions may indicate reduced impact or penetration resistance and the Hard Hat must be replaced IMMEDIATELY.
The suspension should be checked for cracks, breaks, damaged stitching or any other damage, excessive wear or unusual condition. If any of these conditions exist, the suspension must be replaced IMMEDIATELY.
Always use genuine Klein Tools replacement parts. This product works as a system, and use of unauthorized suspensions may reduce the protection you receive from this hard hat.
