1. Introduction
1.1 Protective helmets CA-40, CA-40G a CA-40GW
They are designed exclusively for use with powered air purifying respira-
tors (hereinafter PAPR) CleanAIR®
air line breathing apparatuses (hereinafter “compressed air systems
CleanAIR®”) to provide protection of the respiratory tract.
CleanAIR®is a system of personal respiratory protection based on the prin-
surrounding environment and then delivers it through a breathing tube into a
protective mask or hood. The overpressure prevents contaminants from en-
the wearer’s comfort, even with long-term use, as the wearer does not have
-
ing to the type and concentration of pollutants in the working environment
and according to the work performed. The whole series of CA-40*enables
to select suitable protection for most industrial applications where good pro-
tection of the eyes, hearing, and head is also required in addition to the
necessary protection of the respiratory tract.
1.2 Safety helmet CA-40 with
welding shield
(hereinafter CA-40) – in addition to
tract, it also protects the head and
eyes and face during welding. Weld-
provides protection against harmful
electromagnetic radiation emitted in
arc welding processes and against
welding spatters.
1.3 Safety helmet CA-40G
with grinding shield
(hereinafter CA-40G) – in addition
-
tory tract, it also protects the head,
eyes and face against high speed
particles (indicated: A) and at the
same time provides basic protection
against harmful ultraviolet radiation.
1.4 Safety helmet CA-40GW
with grinding and welding
shield
(hereinafter CA-40GW) – in addition
-
tory tract, it also protects the head,
eyes and face against high speed
particles (indicated: A) and at the
same time provides basic protection
against harmful ultraviolet radiation.
then provides protection against
harmful electromagnetic radiation emitted in arc welding processes and
against welding spatters.
1.5 General information and precautions for use
• Safety helmet CA-40*must be used exclusively with PAPR CleanAIR®
or with compressed air systems CleanAIR®. Therefore, read this manu-
al in conjunction with the user manual of PAPR CleanAIR®or user man-
ual of the compressed air system CleanAIR®.
•
(<17%)**, in the oxygen-enriched environment (>23%), or in case of im-
mediate danger to life or health.
• Do not use in environments where the user does not know the type of
contamination or its concentration.
* including derived variants (CA-40, CA-40G, CA-40GW)
**
local regulations!
•
when the compressed air inlet is closed! In this case the respiratory sys-
tem, incorporating a hood, gives little or no respiratory protection. Also,
there is a risk of a high concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) building
• 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 de-
crease in the protection factor.
•
level of protection for the user. If a beard or long hair gets into the seal-
ing line, penetration may increase and the protection provided by the
system may 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
• Scratched or otherwise damaged visors must be replaced immediately.

nated workplace.
• Use only original CleanAIR®-

2. Instructions for use
• Before use of the new product, always check that the device is com-
plete and no damage occurred during transport. If not used, the helmet
should be stored in its packaging which will protect it against direct sun-
light, chemicals, and abrasive substances, and in which it cannot be
damaged by contact with hard objects/surfaces.
• Safety helmet CA-40*shall be used in premises with air temperature
within 0°C to 55°C and relative humidity within 20 % to 95 % Rh.
•
headband position in the helmet if needed. Use the adjusting wheel on
• 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.
• To ensure breathing protective features of the headpiece the face seal
must follow the user’s face tightly. Correctly applied headpiece in com-
that prevents from intrusion of harmful substances into the respiratory
• In all head parts, we suggest using a protective hood TYVEK (order no.
70 02 01) for hygienic reasons.

Do not apply glues, paints, solvents, or do not place any stickers, unless it
corresponds with instructions of the helmet manufacturer.
Unless suggested by helmet manufacturer, it is pro-
original parts of the helmet. Helmets should not be

3.1 Grinding/welding shield replacement
Welding shield (CA-40GW) replacement:
• Remove screws on sides of the safety helmet.
• Tilt the shield for easier removal.
• Pull the shield out of the anchoring pin on one side and then on the oth-
er side of the helmet.
• Apply the new shield in reverse order.
Welding (CA-40) or grinding shield (CA-40G) replacement:
• Carefully pull the face seal over individual pins arranged on the perim-
eter of the shield.
• Remove screws on sides of the safety helmet.
• Tilt the shield for easier removal.
