^ WARNING
• Always be sure that the complete product is: - Suitable for the application; - Fitted correctly;
- Worn during all periods of exposure; - Replaced when necessary.
• Proper selection, training, use and appropriate maintenance are essential in order
for the product to help protect the wearer from impact hazards.
• Failure to follow all instructions on the use of these personal protection products
and/or failure to properly wear the complete product during all periods of exposure
may adversely affect the wearer's health, lead to severe or life threatening illness or
permanent disability.
• For suitability and proper use follow local regulations, refer to all information

representative on the Tech Assist Helpline 3M Australia 1800 024 464, 3M New
Zealand 0800 364 357.
• For adequate protection this helmet must fit or be adjusted to the size of the users head.
• The helmet is made to absorb the energy of a blow by partial destruction or damage to the
shell and the suspension, and even though such damage may not be readily apparent, any
helmet subjected to severe impact should be replaced.
• The attention of users is also drawn to the danger of modifying or removing any of the
original component parts of the helmet, other than as recommended by the helmet
manufacturer. Helmets should not be adapted for the purpose of fitting attachments in any
way not recommended by the helmet manufacturer.
• Do not apply paints, solvents, adhesives or self-adhesive labels, except in accordance with
instructions from the helmet manufacturer.
• Direct contact with sprays, fluids or other substances containing solvents and/or alcohols
can reduce the durability of the helmet and should therefore be avoided.
• Do not use helmets for applications other than for general industrial use (EN397), working
at height, rescue or mountaineering (EN12492)
• Always ensure that the head suspension is well maintained and correctly adjusted to the
user's head.
• If in doubt contact your safety officer or 3M for further advice.
