deteriorate with use and should be examined at
frequent intervals for cracking and leakage, for
example.
• The acoustic seal may be adversely affected by
wearing other equipment, such as spectacles,
respirators etc. This may reduce attenuation. If
in doubt, contact an occupational hygienist,
safety professional or 3M representative on the
Tech Assist Helpline 3M Australia 1800 024

environment so that vital communication and
emergency sounds remain audible.
• Proper selection, training, use and appropriate
maintenance are essential in order for the
product to help protect the wearer from noise
hazards.

statements where indicated.

FITTING INSTRUCTIONS
Prior to tting, inspect the product to ensure it is not
damaged. If this is discovered dispose of
immediately and obtain a new pair. Brush excess
hair aside and remove any ear jewellery that may
affect acoustic seal before attempting to t the
hearing protector.
1. Unfold the ear muffs by holding the ear cups with
one hand and lifting the headband up until it locks
into position. (To fold, hold the ear cups and press
the top of the headband down until it collapses into
position). (Figure 1).
2. Pull the cups apart and place the ear muffs over
the ears so that the cushions form a snug seal
around the ears (Figure 2).
3. Adjust the height for optimum comfort and t by
sliding the cups up or down the guide whilst holding
the headband in place (Figure 3).
4. Shows the product correctly tted (Figure 4).
FIT CHECK
When hearing protectors are correctly worn your
own voice should sound hollow and sounds around
you should not sound as loud as before.
For optimum noise reduction the cushions should
form a snug t against the head with no
interference of the seal by any objects e.g.
respirator headbands or spectacles arms. The cups
should completely enclose the ears. If you are
unable to t these ear muffs correctly and
comfortably contact your Health & Safety
professional or 3M for further advice.
