Safety helmet CA-40
must be used exclusively with PAPR CleanAIR

. Therefore read this manual in conjunction with the user manual of PAPR CleanAIR
®
manual of the compressed air system CleanAIR
•
Do not use in confined space, in the environment with lack of oxygen (<17%)
environment (>23%), or in case of immediate danger to life or health.
•
Do not use in environments where the user does not know the type of contamination or its concentration.
•
Do not use when the powered air purifying respirator is turned off or when the compressed air inlet is
closed! In this case the respiratory system, incorporating a hood, gives little or no respiratory protection.
Also there is a risk of a high concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) building up and of oxygen deficiency
occurring inside the headpiece.
•
If the PAPR or the compressed air system cease to operate for any reason whatsoever, the user must leave
the contaminated workplace without delay.
•
During strenuous work, if the user's breathing becomes too intensive, the positive pressure inside the hood
may decrease and result in a decrease in the protection factor.
•
The protective headpiece must fit tightly to the face to assure the proper level of protection for the user.
If a beard or long hair gets into the sealing line, penetration will increase and the protection provided by the
system will decrease.
•
Do not use, if any part of the system is damaged. The headpiece and the air hose must be checked prior
to each use. Possible cracks or leaks may influence negatively the required level of user protection.
•
Scratched or otherwise damaged visors must be replaced immediately.
•
Do not remove the helmet from your head or do not turn off the PAPR or the compressed air system
CleanAIR
until you leave the contaminated workplace.

•
Use certified original filters designed for your powered air purifying respirator only. Replace filters every
time you detect change of odour in supplied air from the respirator.
•
Filters designed for capturing solid and liquid particles (particle filters) do not protect the user against any
gases. Filters designed for capturing gases do not protect the user against any particles. In the workplace
contaminated with both types of pollution, combined filters must be used.
Check before use, putting on.
1) Before use of the new product, always check that the device is complete and no damage occurred during
transport. If not used, the helmet should be stored in its packing which will protect it against direct
sunlight, chemicals, and abrasive substances, and in which it cannot be damaged by contact with hard
objects/surfaces.
2) To ensure required protective features of the helmet, tighten duly the faceseal to your face to copy the face
as tight as possible. Correctly applied head part in combination with the air flow supplied form
overpressure in the face area that prevents from intrusion of harmful substances into the respiratory zone
of the user. Should this helmet provide adequate head protection against falling objects (under EN
397+A1), its size must be adapted to the size of the user's head (54-65 cm). Therefore ensure that the
helmet fits comfortably but firmly on the head. To set the optimum size of the headband, please use the
adjusting wheel on the scruff.
3) In all head parts, we suggest using a protective hood TYVEK (order no. 70 02 01) for hygienic reasons.
Use:
The helmet is manufactured so that it absorbs the impact energy by partial destruction or damage to the
shell and head insert. Even in case when such damage is not immediately apparent, each helmet exposed to
serious impact should be replaced.
Unless suggested by helmet manufacturer, it is prohibited to make any modifications,
or remove any original parts of the helmet. Helmets should not be modified to fix any
accessories to them in the manner that is not suggested by their manufacturer.
Do not apply glues, paints, solvents, or do not place any stickers, unless it corresponds with instructions
of the helmet manufacturer.

Faceseal replacement
or user
Faceseal removal:
®
•
Pull out the rear faceseal section from the adjusting screw.
•
Remove the headband from the helmet by unlocking it from the anchoring holes of headband holders
•
Carefully pull out the faceseal from individual pins arranged on the perimeter of the helmet shield.
•
Remove progressively the plastic edge of the mask from anchoring holes of headband holders located on
the inside perimeter of the helmet.
Putting the faceseal on:
•
Attach the plastic edge of the mask by clipping it on the anchoring holes of headband holders located on
the inside perimeter of the helmet.
(suggested setup – in the front section (at the shield), the hole in the lower line closest to the shield. In the
rear section (at the hose connector), central hole in the lower line.)
•
Fit carefully faceseal holes on individual pins arranged on the helmet shield.
•
Insert the headband to the helmet by clipping on anchoring holes of the headband.
(suggested setup – central hole at the very top in all holders of the headband)
•
Put the rear section of the faceseal on the adjusting screw.
For hygienic reasons, discard the old mask immediately after its replacement to avoid its reuse!
Replacement of protective plates for CA-40
We suggest using protective plates to protect the auto-darkening filter and the visor of the grinding shield.
Timely replacement of protective plates extends the service life of the auto-darkening filter, visor, and ensures
continuous good view.
Protective polycarbonate plate is supplied to protect the auto-darkening filter. The plate is applied from both
sides (outside and inside) of the auto-darkening filter and prevents from the deposition of welding spatter on
the auto-darkening filter.
Replacement of external protective plate:
a) Remove the protective plate by pulling its lower part in the area of welding shield indent.
b) Before placing the new protection plates, always remove the thin protection layers from both sides.
c) The protective plate is applied again by inserting it into side grooves in the area in front of the auto-
darkening filter.
Replacement of inside protective plate:
The protective plate can be slides out from fixation grooves, but after the auto-darkening filter is removed
only. To remove the auto-darkening filter unscrew the locking screws inside the welding shield and pull it out.
Caution!
Do not clean protective plates dry, it may easily cause their scratching and reduced transparency. Pro-
tective plates are also capable to concentrate the electrostatic charge, therefore the view may be wor-
sened in dusty environment!
Replacement of welding filter:
a) Unscrew locking screws of the welding filter inside the welding shield.
b) Remove the welding filter.
c) Insert the new welding filter and secure it in its original position by screws.
The hood may be used with approved welding filters of 90x110 mm only!
Replacement of welding and grinding shield:
a) Remove screws on sides of the safety helmet.
b) Tilt the shield for easier removal.
c) Pull the shield(s) out of the anchoring pin on one side and then on the other side of the helmet.
d) Apply the new shield(s) in reverse order.
