1 Safety Regulations
1.1 Correct Use
The Gallet F2XR helmet - hereafter called the helmet - is a safety helmet for the head intended for firefighters’
operations.
The helmet is intended to protect the upper head mainly against the effects of impact, penetration, heat,
electrical and chemical hazards, flame and burning embers while conducting technical rescue, firefighting in
wildland or and associated activities. Technical rescues involve the environments and conditions associated
with operational scenarios such as but not limited to those found during road traffic collisions, railway
incidents and when working in and around collapsed structures, often for extended periods of time, after
natural disasters (flood, earthquake, etc.).
WARNING!
• This helmet is NOT intended to provide protection during structural fire fighting. Do not use the helmet
for structural firefighting.
• Wildland firefighting and rescue operations are extremely dangerous activities. All personnel who have or
will have the responsibility for using or maintaining this helmet must follow the instructions in this manual
carefully. This helmet will perform as designed only if it is used and maintained according to the
instructions. Additionally, national regulations applicable in the user's country must be taken into
account. Otherwise, the helmet could fail to perform as designed, and personnel who rely on it for their
safety can sustain serious personal injury or death.
• This helmet does NOT provide protection from all burns, impacts, injuries, diseases, conditions, or
hazards. Do not perform firefighting or rescue activities without the proper training and equipment.
• Use extreme caution for all operations. This helmet provides LIMITED protection to the head when worn
during wildland firefighting and rescue activities, as designated. Avoid exposure to excessive heat, falls
and other conditions that may exceed the protective capacity of the helmet.
• If this helmet is exposed to heat, you may be BURNED with NO warning and NO sign of damage to the
helmet.
• The eye and face protection options provide LIMITED protection to the area they cover. Use adequate
eye protection. To provide maximum protection and reduce the risk of injury, adjust the helmet with all
components in position to fit on the head properly and fasten the chinstrap securely.
• Do not use the helmet as a vehicular or sports helmet.
• Follow the procedures in Section 6.3.1 to inspect the helmet before and after EACH use.
• Replace any part of the helmet that shows signs of wear or damage.
• Use only components and accessories that are included with the original helmet or approved by MSA.
Using unauthorized components or accessories can adversely affect helmet performance.
• Do not alter, paint, or attach any item that is not recommended by MSA to the helmet.
• Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents to clean the helmet.
• Use only helmet markings (front identification shields, retro reflective trim) and helmet accessories
(integrated lighting modules, communications headsets, etc.) that are supplied and/or approved by
MSA.
• Alternative use or use outside this specification will be considered as non-compliance. This also applies
especially to unauthorized alterations to the product and to commissioning work that has not been
carried out by MSA or authorized persons.
Failure to follow these warnings can result in serious personal injury or death.
In situations where the conditions exceed those described in the specifications mentioned above, the
protection of the user is not guaranteed.

3 Utilisation et ajustement
Pour assurer une protection adéquate, ce casque doit être à la bonne taille ou être ajusté au tour de tête de
l’utilisateur.
Nous attirons également l’attention des utilisateurs sur le fait qu’il est dangereux de modifier ou de retirer tout
composant d’origine du casque d’une manière autre que celle recommandée par le fabricant du casque. Les
casques ne doivent pas être adaptés pour pouvoir y fixer des accessoires d’une manière autre que celle
recommandée par le fabricant du casque.
3.1 Ajustements de base
Les ajustements de base fournissent un niveau de confort élevé à la plupart des utilisateurs. Ils peuvent être
effectués avec le casque sur la tête.
AVERTISSEMENT !
Pour garantir une protection maximale, veillez à ajuster le casque correctement. Serrer le réglage rapide au-
delà de ses limites risque d’endommager l’équipement interne et d’entraîner une protection amoindrie.
Ne mettez aucun équipement dans ou sur le casque si cela n’est pas explicitement autorisé par MSA. Le fait
de mettre des gants, des cales, des lampes et d’autres équipements dans ou sur le casque peut altérer
considérablement la capacité de protection du casque.
Le non-respect de cet avertissement peut entraîner des blessures graves, voire mortelles.
Mise en place du casque
(1) Positionnez la jugulaire comme indiqué.
(2) Saisissez le casque à deux mains et posez-le sur
votre tête.
(3) S’il est trop serré, ouvrez le bandeau tour de tête
grâce à la molette (en tournant dans le sens inverse
des aiguilles d’une montre).
Ajustement du tour de tête
(1) Ajustez le tour de tête à l’aide de la molette (en
tournant dans le sens des aiguilles d’une montre

3 Utilisation et ajustement FR
(2) Contrôlez le serrage : le casque ne doit pas tomber lorsque l’utilisateur se penche en avant (avec la
jugulaire ouverte).
Ajustement de la jugulaire et du système de rétention
AVERTISSEMENT !
Ne portez jamais le casque sans fermer et serrer la jugulaire.
Le non-respect de cet avertissement peut entraîner des blessures graves, voire mortelles.
Le système de rétention comprend 4 points d’ajustement (latéraux et arrière) qui permettent d’assurer la
rétention sur la tête grâce à un ajustement serré de la jugulaire et des sangles arrière.
(1) Fermez la boucle de la jugulaire (si ce
n’est pas possible, relâchez
l’ajustement).
(2) Serrez les points d’ajustement
latéraux et arrière pour obtenir un
ajustement serré mais confortable
(pas d’inconfort au niveau des
oreilles).
(3) Terminez l’ajustement en réglant la
jugulaire.
3.2 Ajustements avancés
Les ajustements suivants peuvent être utilisés pour optimiser le port et le confort du casque après une
première évaluation. Ils sont indiqués si les ajustements de base ne permettent pas un ajustement
confortable et doivent être réalisés sans porter le casque. Il peut s’avérer nécessaire de modifier légèrement
les ajustements de base après l’exécution des ajustements avancés.
3.2.1 Ajustement de la hauteur de port
La position de la coiffe dans la calotte du casque peut être ajustée pour modifier la hauteur de port (3
positions) en fonction de la taille et de la forme de la tête de l’utilisateur.
