User instruction
How should I use and care for my hearing
protector?
All hearing protectors covered by this instruction
sheet have headbands or helmet mounts made
of thermal plastic and sealing rings filled with
foamed plastic.
Carefully read these user instructions to attain the
greatest possible benefits from your engelbert
strauss product.
For optimal comfort and protection from this hear-
ing protector, you must use, maintain and adjust
the protector according to the following instruc-
tions.
– Earmuffs and special sealing rings wear and you
should regularly check that no parts are worn out
or that the protector has cracks or leakage.
– Use of perspiration/hygienic protection over the
sealing rings can reduce the hearing protector's
noise attenuation properties.
– Certain chemical substances can have a de-
structive effect on this product. More information
is available from the manufacturer.
Adjustment and usage
The hearing protector's noise attenuating prop-
erties can dramatically decrease with usage of
for example, thick eyeglass frames, ski masks/
balaclavas, etc. Remove all hair from beneath the
sealing ring and place the earmuffs over the ears
so that they fit comfortably and snugly. Ensure that
the ears are completely enclosed by the earmuffs
and that you have even pressure around the ears.
Headband (See Figure 1)
Adjust the protector to its largest size and put it on
your head. Adjust the band so that the protector
rests lightly against the crown of your head.
Care
Clean with mild detergent (soap). You must be
sure that the detergent you use does not irritate
the skin. The hearing protector must be stored dry
and clean, such as in its original packaging for ex-
ample. Do not dip the product in water!

Warning
If the instructions above are not followed, the
