JSP EN166: 2001 User manual

EN AU/NZ
CORRECT CARE AND USAGE INSTRUCTIONS
STORAGE: When not in use or during transportation the faceshield/visor should be
stored in a container such that it is out of direct sunlight, not in contact with solvents
and can not be damaged by physical contact with hard surfaces/items. Do not store
outside the temperature range of –20°C or +50°C or with humidity above 90%RH.
UNPACKING INSTRUCTIONS: Carefully remove the faceshield/visor from the
packaging, taking particular note of any instructions printed on or included with
the faceshield, and remove the protective lm on the visor. Do not use if items
appear damaged or missing.
CLEANING / DISINFECTION: To maintain the faceshield/visor in the best
possible condition do not use abrasive materials to clean them. Rinse in a 1%
solution of mild detergent in tap water and dry with a soft cloth.
USE: No protection is given unless the visor is correctly tted and in the lowered
position. The faceshield can be raised or lowered as required by loosening the
two side pivot nuts.
MAINTENANCE: A range of replacement parts is available, including
welding lters and clear protective lenses. Instructions for tting spare parts
will be supplied. It is likely that the faceshield will require a replacement of
component parts or the complete unit after a period of 2 to 3 years
POLYCARBONATE & ACETATE VISORS: These visors are suitable for protection
against high speed particles, liquid splashes, molten metal, hot solids and electrical
hazrads as marked. Warning: They are not suitable for furnace or welding use.
WIRE GAUZE VISOR: This visor is suitable for use for forestry work in
combination with JSP Invincible industrial Safety Helmets and Visor Carrier or
a JSP Invincible Browguard. The ‘’S’’ symbol on the visor indicates that it meets
the requirements of Increased Robustness as dened by EN1731. Warning:
The mesh eye and face protector does not protect against liquid splash
(including molten metal), hot solids, electrical hazards, infrared and ultra violet
radiation. Mesh eye and face protectors marked with “S” should not be used
when there is a forseeable risk of any hard or sharp ying particles.
GREEN SHADED VISOR: The green shaded visor should only be used for gas
welding, it is not suitable for use as a general eye protector.
WARNING: Susceptible individuals may experience an allergic reaction to those
parts of the faceshield/visor that come into contact with the wearers’ skin. If
this is the case, leave the hazard area, remove the faceshield/visor and seek
doctor’s advice. None of the materials used in the manufacture of the faceshield
are known to adversely affect user hygiene or health. Eye-protectors against
high speed particles worn over standard ophthalmic spectacles may transmit
impacts, thus creating a hazard to the wearer. This eye protector is suitable for
use to the lowest marking on the browguard or visor. If protection against high
speed particles at extremes of temperature is required then the selected eye-
protector should be marked with the letter T immediately after the impact letter,
i.e. FT, BT or AT. If the impact letter is not followed by the letter T then the eye
protector shall only be used against high speed particles at room temperature.
Class 3 optical quality oculars are not designed for long term use. Filter
screens carry the appropriate grade marking, see table for suitabiliy of
screen lter for the task to be performed. These eye protectors may transmit
impacts to eye-wear enclosed by the eye protector. Clear material faceshields
are not intended for furnace/welding use. Wire mesh faceshields are not suitable
for protection against high speed particles, liquid splash, molten metal splash,
hot solids, electrical hazards, furnace or welding use.

ASSEMBLY FOR CLEAR & WIRE GAUZE VISORS
ASSEMBLY & ADJUSTMENT OF FACESHIELDS:
In use ensure the faceshield/helmet combination ts comfortably,and securely to the head. If tted to a helmet combination, follow the adjustment instructions
supplied with the helmet. If tted to a browguard, adjusted as follows:
1. Slide left half of crown strap through loops on the right half to obtain correct height, engage retaining pin in correct hole.
2. Place faceshield on head and check height setting. Ensure headband is not too low on brow. If necessary repeat step 1 until correct height adjustment is achieved.
3. With faceshield on head turn adjuster knob or adjust elastic to obtain a rm and comfortable t.
Suitable accessories and spare parts are available from the retailer. Do not use accessories and spare parts not approved by the manufacturer.

TO INSERT WELDING FILTER: Remove the inner securing frame and
one of the two protective clear lenses from the faceshield. Insert the
welding lter, followed by the clear lens and securing frame, ensuring that
the inner frame clicks rmly into place.
FITTING FOR HARNESS MOUNTED FACESHIELD:
The head height and size can be adjusted as follows:
1. Slide left half of crown strap through loops on the right half to obtain
correct height, engage retaining pin in correct hole.
2. Place faceshield on head and check height setting. Ensure headband
is not too low on brow. If necessary repeat step 1 until correct height
adjustment is achieved.
3. With faceshield on head turn adjuster knob to obtain a rm and comfortable t.
FITTING FOR HELMET MOUNTED FACESHIELD:
The faceshield is designed to be tted to most leading makes of industrial
safety helmet with standard size peak. Slide helmet peak into slot in the
faceshield. Stretch PVC covered retaining spring over the crown of the
helmet until it ts securely around the helmet shell.
USE: The faceshield will only offer protection with a welding lter correctly
inserted and when the faceshield is in the lowered position. The welding
lter is marked with the appropriate shade grade. For proper selection of
the lter grade please consult the chart. Ensure that the correct welding
lter is tted before commencing welding operations.
Toughened mineral lter oculars shall only be used in conjunction with a
suitable backing ocular.
The scale number, given in the table below, is to be used for arc welding,
gas welding and arc gouging. The following abbreviations are used
according to ISO4063:
• MIG corresponds to Metal Arc Welding with Inert Gas Shield.
• MAG corresponds to Metal Arc Welding with Non-inert Gas Shield.
• TIG corresponds to Tungsten Inert Gas.
• Arc-Air Gouging corresponds to the use of a carbon electrode
and a compressed air jet to remove the molten metal.
The term ‘heavy metals’ applies to steels, alloy steels, copper and its
alloys, etc. The hatched areas correspond to the ranges where the welding
operations are not usually used in the current practice of manual welding.
Note: If the use of lters selected from the table produces a feeling of
discomfort, the working environment and the eyesight of the operator
should be examined. It can be harmful to use lters with too high a scale
number (too dark) as this would force the operator to move too close to
the radiation source and to inhale harmful fumes. For work carried out
in the open air and strong natural light, it is possible to use a lter one
scale number higher.
In the table the letter A corresponds to the current rating of the welding
device in Amperes. The letters l/h correspond to the ow rate of the
acetylene gas in litres per hour.
