Important: Please Read Carefully and Fully Understand
Keep Instructions For Future Reference
Improper use of this equipment may result in Personal Injury or Death. Improper use includes, but is
not limited to, use without adequate training, disregard of the warnings and instructions contained
herein, and failure to inspect and maintain this Respiratory Protective Equipment. Read and
understand all instructions before attempting to operate or service this equipment.
This equipment is intended to be used only in conjunction with an organised Respiratory Protection
program.
Before using this equipment, read the contents of EN529:2005 and familiarise yourself with the
requirements for Respiratory Protective Equipment and their potential effects on the wearer.
PAPR system users must be familiar with workplace hazards prior to using the equipment and must be
fully trained in the use of the apparatus.
In the ‘power off’ state, little or no respiratory protection is to be expected. This is regarded as an
abnormal condition. In the ‘power off’ state, a rapid build-up of carbon dioxide and a depletion of
oxygen within the hood or helmet may occur.
Scott Safety blowers must be used with a Scott Safety headtop, unless otherwise directed. Read this
manual, the headtop manual and Scott Safety Filter manuals, prior to using this equipment.
The blower must be fitted with the correct range of filters which are appropriate for the workplace
hazard.
This product must only be used with filters manufactured by Scott Safety. The use of any other filters
will negate the approval and will be likely to reduce the level of protection provided.
Do NOT confuse EN 12941:1998+A2:2008 and EN 12942:1998+A2:2008 filter markings with filter
markings relating to other EN standards.
Do NOT use a PAPR in confined spaces, oxygen deficient atmospheres (<19%), oxygen enriched
atmospheres (>23%), or where there is an immediate hazard to life or health. Local regulations may
apply.
Do NOT use if the ambient temperature is outside of the range -10°C to +40°C. Humidity levels up to
95% RH do not present any operational problems.
Do NOT use if the apparatus is damaged. The headtop and air hose must be inspected on every
occasion before use to ensure that no damage of any kind is evident which could cause leakage or
reduced levels of protection. A monthly inspection of the apparatus is a mandatory requirement in
the UK under COSHH regulations and inspection on a monthly basis is strongly recommended for all
other countries.
Ensure that the air hose is free of loops when donning. When donned, the air hose should be
positioned to reduce the chance of it becoming caught up in your surroundings.
Protection will only be obtained if the equipment is fitted correctly.
Protection levels may be reduced if wind speed exceeds 2 meters per second.
In the unlikely event that the PAPR fails while in a hazardous area, there may be an increase of carbon
dioxide and contamination within the headtop. Leave the area immediately.
At very high work-rates, pressure in the apparatus may become negative at peak inhalation flow.
Filters must not be fitted directly to the headtop.

The applicable European/local legislation and Notified Body can be determined by reviewing the Certificate(s)
and Declaration(s) of Conformity at www.3m.com/Respiratory/certs
Tornado T/Power SPF (Single Particulate Filter) is an intelligent, powered air purifying respirator (PAPR). This
document also refers to the device as a blower.
Tornado T/Power SPF is designed to be used only in a complete PAPR system, and must be combined with
appropriate filter, hose, battery pack and headtop.
Tornado T/Power SPF includes the following features;
• Is approved to EN 12941:1998+A2:2008 / EN 12942:1998+A2:2008.
• Is a highly durable, impact resistant PAPR, manufactured from Polypropylene with a shower proof construction.
• Has LED icons to provide information on the current state of the PAPR.
• Includes a fully adjustable waist belt to fit waist sizes up to 130 cm.
• Protects against the inhalation of harmful dusts, mists, fumes, vapours, or gases especially where protection is
required for long periods and is of particular benefit in hot or humid environments.
• Is designed to be used alongside a rechargeable battery pack which has a 7.5 hour life.
• In use, filtered air from the blower is delivered via a hose to the headtop and exits through the face-seal or
exhalation valve.
A replaceable filter is fitted on the blower, which is powered by a fitted rechargeable battery pack.
The correct headtop together with the correct filter should be chosen, after considering the intended application,
the hazards likely to be present and the preferences of the wearer.
Note Full details of protection rates for Tornado PAPR systems can be obtained within the relevant headtop user
manual.

Tornado T/Power SPF uses a removable, rechargable battery
Warning It is the users responsibility to ensure that they select the correct equipment configuration for the
required task. This must be in accordance with a workplace risk assessment.
Warning Ensure powered air system components are stored appropriately to avoid confusion.
Fully charge battery before use. Optimum performance with new battery packs is achieved only after they have
completed 3 charge-cycles.
A full charge takes up to 8 hours. The battery pack may be left connected to the charger after full charge is
reached.
Note A new battery or a battery stored for a longer period may not function stably, which will terminate the
recharging prematurely. Monitor the signal lights during the first few recharge cycles and initiate the recharging
several times if needed.
Ensure that you charge the battery within the specified temperature / humidity range.
Never recharge in a potentially explosive environment!
When not in use, prevent over-discharge of battery by keeping the blower device always on recharge.
Overcharging of battery is automatically prevented.

Die unsachgemäße Verwendung dieses Gerätes kann in Personenschäden oder Todesfolge resultieren. Die
unsachgemäße Verwendung umfasst - ist jedoch nicht beschränkt auf - den Einsatz ohne entsprechende
Schulung, eine Missachtung der in diesem Dokument enthaltenen Warnhinweise und Anweisungen sowie
unterlassene Inspektion und Wartung dieses Atemschutzgerätes. Bitte lesen Sie alle Anweisungen gründlich,
bevor Sie versuchen, das Gerät zu betreiben oder zu warten.
Dieses Gerät ist ausschließlich zum Einsatz im Rahmen eines organisierten Atemschutzprogramms
konzipiert.
Lesen Sie vor Gebrauch dieses Gerätes den Inhalt der Norm EN529:2005, und machen Sie sich mit den
Anforderungen an Atemschutzgeräte sowie ihren potenziellen Auswirkungen auf den Träger vertraut.
Benutzer von PAPR-Systemen müssen vor Gebrauch des Gerätes mit den am Arbeitsplatz vorherrschenden
Gefahren vertraut sein und eine gründliche Schulung zum Einsatz des Gerätes absolviert haben.
Im abgeschalteten Zustand kann nur wenig bzw. gar kein Atenmschutz erwartet werden. Dies wird als
abnormaler Zustand betrachtet. Im abgeschalteten Zustand kann es zu einer schnellen Ansammlung von
Kohlendioxid und einer Verringerung des Sauerstoffgehalts in der Maske oder im Helm kommen. Falls
ein Gebläse unvorhergesehener Weise defekt werden sollte, muß der Träger den Gefahrenbereich sofort
verlassen und danach das Gerät abnehmen.
Wenn nicht anders angegeben, müssen Scott Safety Gebläse zusammen mit einem Scott Safety Kopfteil
verwendet werden. Lesen Sie vor Gebrauch dieses Gerätes dieses Handbuch, das Handbuch zum
jeweiligen Kopfteil sowie die Scott Safety Filterhandbücher.
Das Gebläse muss mit dem korrekten Filtersortiment ausgestattet sein, das für die am Arbeitsplatz
vorherrschenden Gefahren geeignet ist.
Dieses Produkt darf nur mit Filtern, die von Scott Safety hergestellt wurden, verwendet werden. Die
Verwendung anderer Filter macht die Gerätezulassung ungültig und beeinträchtigt sehr wahrscheinlich den
vom Gerät gelieferten Schutzgrad.
Verwechseln Sie Filtermarkierungen gemäß EN 12941:1998+A2:2008 und EN 12942:1998+A2:2008 NICHT
mit Filtermarkierungen, die sich auf andere EN-Normen beziehen.
PAPR-Systeme NICHT in engen Räumen, sauerstoffarmer Umgebung (<19%), mit Sauerstoff angereicherter
Umgebung (>23%) oder an Orten verwenden, wo eine unmittelbare Gefahr für Leben oder Gesundheit
besteht. Es gelten u.U. lokale Vorschriften.
Gerät NICHT benutzen, wenn sich die Umgebungstemperatur außerhalb des Bereichs von -10°C bis +40°C
befi ndet. Eine relative Luftfeuchte von bis zu 95% beeinträchtigt die Gerätefunktion nicht.
KEINE beschädigten Geräte verwenden. Kopfteil und Luftschlauch sind stets vor dem Einsatz zu
untersuchen, um sicher zu stellen, dass sie keine Beschädigungen aufweisen, die ansonsten Leckagen
bedingen oder die Schutzfunktion beeinträchtigten könnten. Die monatliche Inspektion des Gerätes ist eine
gemäß COSHH-Vorschriften (Vorschriften zur Überwachung von gesundheitsgefährdenden Stoffen) vom
britischen Gesetzgeber erhobene Anforderung. Für alle anderen Länder wird eine monatliche Inspektion
ebenfalls strengstens empfohlen.
Achten Sie darauf, dass der Luftschlauch beim Anlegen keine Schlaufen aufweist. Luftschlauch so anlegen,
dass er sich nicht an in Ihrer Umgebung befindlichen Gegenständen verfangen kann.
Der Schutzgrad wird nur dann erreicht, wenn das Gerät korrekt angelegt wird.
Windgeschwindigkeiten von mehr als 2m pro Sekunde können einen verringerten Schutzgrad bedingen.
Für den unwahrscheinlichen Fall, dass das PAPR-System in einem Gefahrenbereich versagt, kann es im
Kopfteil zu einer erhöhten Ansammlung von Kohlendioxid und Kontaminationsstoffen kommen. DEN
GEFAHRENBEREICH SOFORT VERLASSEN.
Bei sehr hoher Arbeitsbelastung kann bei maximaler Einatemfrequenz innerhalb des Gerätes ein Unterdruck
entstehen.
Filter dürfen nicht direkt am Kopfteil befestigt werden.
