USER INSTRUCTIONS

Please read these instructions in conjunction with other
relevant user instructions for 3M™ Speedglas™ Welding
Filters, 3M™ Air Delivery Units and reference leaflets where
you will find information on approved combinations of air
delivery units, spare parts and accessories.

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

3M Speedglas 9100 Series Welding Shields help protect the
wearer's eyes and face from sparks/spatter, harmful ultra-
violet radiation (UV) and infra-red radiation (IR) resulting
from certain arc/gas welding processes. The 9100 Series
Welding Shields are designed to be used only with 3M
Speedglas 9100 Welding Filters and Protection Plates. 3M
Speedglas 9100 Air Welding Shield also protects against
certain airborne contaminants when used with an approved
air delivery unit.
WARNING
Proper selection, training, use and maintenance are
essential in order for the product to help protect the
wearer. Failure to follow all instructions on the use of
these protection products and/or failure to properly wear
the complete product during all periods of exposure may
adversely affect the wearer's health, lead to severe or life
threatening illness, injury or permanent disability.
For suitability and proper use follow local regulations, refer
to all information supplied.
Particular attention should be given to warning
statements where indicated.
APPROVALS
The PPE is CE marked and in conformity with the
European PPE Regulation , directives and harmonized
European Standards as listed in fig I:1, which also contain
information about the Notified Body that have issued the
EU type-Examination certificate for the PPE (Module B)
and when applicable, the Notified Body responsible for the
surveillance of the quality system of the manufacturing of
the PPE (Module D). The EU type-examination Certificates
and Declaration of Conformity are available at www.3M.

LIMITATIONS OF USE

Only use with original 3M Speedglas Spare Parts and
Accessories listed in the reference leaflet and within the
usage conditions given in the technical specifications.
The use of substitute components, decals, paint or other
modifications not specified in these user instructions
might seriously impair protection and may invalidate
claims under the warranty or cause the product to
be noncompliant with protection classifications and
approvals.
Eye protectors worn over
spectacles may transmit impacts thus creating a hazard
to the wearer.
3M Speedglas Welding Shields are not designed for
overhead welding/cutting operations when there is a risk
of burns from falling molten metal.
The SideWindows should be covered with the cover
plates in situations when other welders are working
beside you and in situations where reflected light can
pass through the SideWindows (see fig G:1)
Materials which may come into contact with the wearer's
skin are not known to cause allergic reactions to the
majority of individuals. These products do not contain
components made from natural rubber latex.
3M™SPEEDGLAS™ 9100 AIR
WELDING SHIELD
Do not use for respiratory protection against unknown
atmospheric contaminants or when concentrations of
contaminants are unknown or immediately dangerous to
life or health (IDLH).
Do not use in atmospheres containing less than 19.5%
oxygen (3M definition. Individual countries may apply
their own limits on oxygen deficiency. Seek advice if in
doubt). Do not use these products in oxygen or oxygen-
enriched atmospheres.
Leave the contaminated area immediately if any part of
the system becomes damaged, airflow into the headtop
decreases or stops, breathing becomes difficult,
dizziness or other distress occurs, you smell or taste
contaminants or irritation occurs.
High winds above 2m/s, or very high work rates (where
the pressure within the headtop can become negative)
can reduce protection. Adjust equipment as appropriate or
consider an alternative form of respiratory protective device.
Users should be clean-shaven where the respirator's
face seal comes into contact with the face.
Respiratory filters shall only be fitted to the turbo unit and
not directly to the helmet/hood.

EN14594 3B
Outer protection plate: 3M 1 BT (EN166B*)
Inner cover plate: 3M 1 S
3M= Manufacturer

S=
B=
BT= Resistance to high speed particles at medium energy
TH2= assigned protection factor 20, nominal protection
3B= nominal protection factor 200, higher strength
*EN 166: if protection against high speed particles at
standard ophthalmic
extremes of temperature is required then the selected eye-
protector should be marked with the letter T immediately
after the impact letter, i.e. FT, BT or AT. If the impact letter is
not followed by the letter T then the eye protector shall only
be used against high speed particles at room temperature.
Additional markings on the product refer to other standards.
