1. DESCRIPTION
1.1 Face mask
Air System must be used in combination with a full face mask with EN148-1 fitting.
1.2 T8 / T5 / M3 Blower units
They are composed of: an ABS case with socket and ON/OFF switch. A fan unit
actuated by an electric micromotor.
1.3 Hose assembly
composed of a spiralled hose easy to decontaminate .
1.4 Battery
LI-870 BATTERY: rechargeable sealed lithium battery, ABS case with non
revertible plug; a protective circuit against short circuit and over discharge.
1.5 ZP3 FILTER:
The letter "R" marked onto the filter indicates that the dust filter or
filtering part of a combined filter can be used for more than one working shift after
exposure to aerosols (except for asbestos removal work where the filter must be
disposed of after use). It is made of micro porous technical paper finely pleated with
normalized EN 148-1 thread ( see filter use instruction).
1.6 AIRFLOW INDICATOR
Composed of a transparent tube with indicator ball inside. The indicator is to be used to
check the airflow of the blower unit it is supplied with only.

3. FUNCTION
Breathable, filtered, air passes through the inhalation valves to the inside of the visor.
The filtered air flows over the visor minimising visor misting then passes through check
valves to the inner mask.
Excess and exhaled air is expelled through the exhalation valve (see also full face
mask use instructions).
4. USE
4.1 The following are some of the intended uses for which the PPE has been designed:
• Cutting, grinding and sanding of any type of-wood, metal, painted surfaces including
lead-based paints, marble and stone in general, fiberglass, carbon fiber.
• Powder coating, insulation work, bagging, woodworking, demolitions, brazing, cutting
and plasma cutting, metal polishing.
• Asbestos removal, extractions and excavations, foundries, cement works,
renovations, paving and tarring operations.
• Gardening, grain and animal feed handling, animal

b) Do not wear for protection against vapours, gas, carbon monoxide and fumigants.
c) Do not use in closed environments (tanks, silos etc.).
d) Do not use for fire fighting
e) Do not use in atmospheres containing less than 17% oxygen.
f) Do not use in explosive atmospheres.
g) Do not use in environments, where the solid and/or liquid particle concentration in
the atmosphere is higher than 2000 times the TLV (nominal protection factor NPF, EN
529:2005).
h) Do not use in environments where the solid and/or liquid particle concentration in the
atmosphere is lower than 2000 times the TLV if said concentration produces
atmospheres immediately dangerous to life or health.
i)Not suitable for barb and glasses wearer.
5. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
5.1 LI-870 battery recharge
The lithium battery must be recharged with Kasco LI-02 charger.( see battery charger
use instructions). RECHARGE THE BATTERY AFTER EACH USE.
5.2 Battery and blower unit set-up
Slip belt through battery hook.

 Connect battery to blower by means of cord and tighten nut to ensure contact.
Slip belt through T5 or T8 blower hook.

 Make sure that the blower is functioning and that the filter seal gasket is properly
housed.
 Before using the filter for the first time check that seals are unaltered and within
the expiry date and that they fit the respirator. Do not mistake the filter marking
with markings related to the classification according to
of the complete RPD.
Remove covers from the filter, screw onto the chosen respirator and read the

filter use instructions.
Connect breathing tube to the face mask and to the T5 or T8 blower unit.

 Screw M3 blower unit to the face mask connector.

5.5 Airflow indicator with ball - use instructions
 Disconnect the blower-face mask breathing tube.
Make sure that the battery is fully charged (see battery charging instructions) and

that the filters are screwed on properly.
Insert the airflow indicator vertically onto the blower outlet.

 Start the blower and observe the position of the ball inside the tube.
a) If the indicator ball rises above the indicator line, the equipment is ready for
use. (See 2.2 above)
b) If the ball remains below the indicator line, replace the filters and repeat the
test. Should the ball still remain below the indicator line, replace the battery and
the filter and repeat complete test.
c)Do not use the PPE if the ball does not move at all.
Remove the airflow indicator and reconnect the hose to the unit.

6 MAINTENANCE
6.1 Full face mask
See full face mask Use and Maintenance instructions.
6.2 Blower units
The motor does not require servicing.

 Clean blower with organic solvent free detergents or better still with a cloth dipped
into a 50% water ethyl alcohol solution.
6.3 LITHIUM Battery
The battery does not require servicing or tipping up.

Clean battery with organic solvent free detergents or better still with a cloth dipped
into a 50% water ethyl alcohol solution.
RECHARGE IMMEDIATELY AFTER EVERY USE FOR LONGER LIFE. THE
BATTERIES CANNOT BE KEPT DISCHARGED. IN CASE OF DEFAULT CHECK THE
TENSION . THE
THAT CUTS THE ALIMENTATION OFF IN CASE OF CURRENT OVERLOAD
 RECHARGE THE BATTERY EVERY 3 MONTHS IF NOT USED.

See filter use instructions.
 If sealed, the filters remain unaltered until the expiry date on the label.
1000
Unsealed filters are to be replaced every three months, notwithstanding of the


500
disposed of.
Replace both filters simultaneously.

Approx. 6.5 The respirator is to be serviced once a year by KASCO or Kasco authorized service
battery life
centre.
6.6 After asbestos removal work, decontaminate the respirator as follows:
•take a shower while wearing all PPEs including the respirator switched ON.
•Remove the filter/filters and dispose of them in the appropriate containers. N.B. The
2 years or
filter is not to be reused for asbestos removal activities.

•Allow the respirator to dry.
•Put plugs on the blower unit and store the respirator
7. WARNING
7.1
- Do not use the respirator under the conditions listed at point 4.2
- Do not use the respirator unless the airflow check indicated at point 5.5 has been
carried out.
7.2
- Do not immerse unit in water for cleaning without appropriate caps
- Do not use if the air flow indicator shows a low flow.(See 5.5)
7.3
- DO NOT KEEP DISCHARGED, RECHARGE IMMEDIATELY AFTER EACH
USE
- Do not place battery near any heat source.
- Do not place battery on or near equipment which vibrates excessively.
- In case of battery breakage wash immediately the parts which have in
contact
- Do not expose battery to infrared or ultraviolet rays excessively.
- Do not perforate, crush, disassemble or open the battery as leakage could catch
fire, explode or release dangerous substance.
7.4
To recharge the battery only use the LI-02 battery charger
Keep the battery charger connected to the battery only if the charger is powered.
The battery charges correctly if carried out at a temperature between 15°C and
25°C.
7.5
- Do not use expired filters even if their seals are still intact.
- Do not use a filter for more than three months.
7.6 Return to fresh, clean air immediately and take OFF helmet if:
7. THE RESPIRATOR PROVIDES REDUCED PROTECTION IN THE EVENT OF A
MALFUNCTION OF THE VENTILATION UNIT: oxygen would be consumed quickly
and the concentration of carbon dioxide produced by breathing would exceed
acceptable limits.
7.8 Never alter or modify this respirator in any way.
7.9 Do not use the respirator if the mask has not been cleaned and accurately
decontaminated.
7.10 Do not use the respirator with mask if the inward leakage test, indicated
hereunder, carried out on the mask is negative:
7.10.1 Leakage test:
Close the female thread with the palm of a hand and inhale slightly to generate a
negative pressure (vacuum inside the mask). Hold your breath for a moment. If
the negative pressure is not maintained, tighten the straps further and repeat the
test (see also face mask instructions).
7.11 This equipment is to be used only by qualified personnel with knowledge of its
technical and legal limits .
7.12 Do not use the respirator if your sense of smell is in any way impaired.
7.13 Do not use the respirator if it has not been serviced annually by a Kasco
authorized service centre.
Rev. No. 04 dtd 21/11/2019
BATTERIES ARE EQUIPPED WITH A PROTECTION CIRCUIT
a) Leakage is detected by smell, taste or eye, nose or throat irritation.
b) Inhaled air becomes extremely hot.
c) Any feeling of nausea, dizziness or ill being develops.
