WARNING Read and Understand All Instructions Before
Using the Equipment.
SAFETY WARNINGS
Before each use, inspect the respirator system for damage and
verify it operates properly. Before using the respirator system,
test air ow to verify it is providing an adequate volume of air.
Always wear the respirator system and do not remove the head
top or turn off the air lter unit until outside the contaminated area,
otherwise, there is a risk of high concentration of CO2 and oxygen
level in the head top will fall, thus little or no protection is given.
If you are not sure about the concentration of pollution, or about
equipment performance, ask the industrial safety engineer.
The manufacturer is not responsible for injury due to the following
incorrect use or incorrect choice of equipment.
• This respirator devices should be used with well trained
persons and qualied persons only.
• Before using the devices ensure you have understood that at
very high work rates the pressure in the device may become
negative at peak inhalation ow.
• Before and during using the devices, attention shall be
drawn to possible incorrect use and, where appropriate, the
possibility of looped hoses and/or cables becoming caught up.
• Before or during using the device, if the devices is in power-off
state, little or no respirator protection is to be expected, which
is considered to be an abnormal situation.
• Please remove the headgear when the device is in power-off
state since a rapid build-up of carbon dioxide and depletion of
oxygen within the hood may occur.
• The lters shall only be tted to the turbo unit and not directly
to the helmet/hood.
• The user should not confuse the markings on a lter relating to
any standard other than EN 12941 with the classication of
this device when used with this lter.
• DO NOT use SparX Air with the blower unit switched off.
• DO NOT use SparX Air in an atmosphere2that is immediately
hazardous to user hygiene or health and/or has oxygen
content of less than 19.5% or contains unknown substances.
• DO NOT use SparX Air in an explosive atmosphere.
• DO NOT use SparX Air in conned spaces or areas of poor
ventilation
• DO NOT use SparX Air in high winds.
• DO NOT alter or modify in any way.
• DO NOT touch any of the moving parts.
• DO NOT allow water or other liquids to enter the impeller
chamber, the lter or battery compartment.

1. INTRODUCTION
Respirator system is intended to be used to provide protection
when the user working in the contamination environment. The
equipment is able to lter the contaminate air via the lter build in
to the blower and then supply fresh air from breathing tube to the
welding faceshield, so that the user can continually working in
contamination environment. It is a combined face and breathing
protection device for increased safety and comfort during welding.
Please read these instructions carefully before unpacking. For
proper use, see user instructions or contact manufacturers for
help.
2. APPROVALS
The system complies with the requirements of PPE Regulation
2016/425 and European Standard EN 12941: 1998+A2:2008
class TH3 P R S L .
The respirator system is designed to provide a supply of ltered
air via a breathing tube to a welding headpiece.
• The equipment can be used in environment that requires a
class TH3P breathing protection device.
• It protects against articulate contamination.
• All components used in respirator system must be
manufacturer approved parts, and must be used in accordance

before each use.
• The charger must not be used for anything else than
it was designed for.
• Do not charge the battery in a potentially explosive
area.
• The charger must only be used indoors.
• The charger regulates the charge automatically, once
the battery is fully charged, it will maintain it at a 100%
(oating charge).
• The charge time is 3 to 4 hours.
• The battery will discharge itself after long storage
periods.
• Always charge the battery if the device was stored for
