WARNING
This hearing protector helps reduce exposure to hazardous
noise and other loud sounds. Misuse or failure to wear
hearing protection at all times when exposed to hazardous
noise may result in hearing loss or injury. For proper use,
see supervisor, User Instructions or call 3M Technical
Services. If your hearing seems dulled or you hear a
ringing or buzzing during or after any noise exposure
(including gunfire), or for any other reason you suspect a
hearing problem, leave the noisy environment immediately
and consult a medical professional and/or your supervisor.
a. To reduce the risks associated with igniting an
explosion, do not use non-intrinsic safe products and
accessories in a potentially explosive atmosphere.
Failure to follow these instructions may reduce the
protection provided by the earmuff and may result in
hearing loss:
a. 3M strongly recommends personal fit testing of hearing
protectors. Research suggests that users may receive
less noise reduction than indicated by the attenuation
label value(s) on the packaging due to variation in fit,
fitting skill, and motivation of the user. Refer to
applicable regulations and guidance on how to adjust
attenuation label value(s). In the absence of applicable
regulations, it is recommended that the attenuation
label value(s) be reduced to better estimate typical
protection.
b. Ensure the hearing protector is properly selected, fit,
adjusted, and maintained. Improper fit of this device will
reduce its effectiveness in attenuating noise. Consult
the enclosed instructions for proper fit.
c. Inspect the hearing protector before each use.
If damaged, select an undamaged hearing protector or
avoid the noisy environment.
d. When additional personal protective equipment is
necessary (e.g. safety glasses, respirators, etc.), select
flexible, low profile temples or straps to minimize
interference with the earmuff cushion. Remove all other
unnecessary articles (e.g. hair, hats, jewelry,
headphones, hygiene covers, etc.) that could interfere
with the seal of the earmuff cushion and reduce the
protection of the earmuff.
e. Do not bend or reshape the headband, neckband or
carrier attachment and ensure there is adequate force
to hold the earmuffs firmly in place.
f. Earmuffs, and in particular cushions, may deteriorate
with use and should be examined at frequent intervals
for cracking and leakage, for example. When used
regularly, replace the ear cushions and foam liners at
least twice a year to maintain consistent protection,
hygiene, and comfort.
g. If the requirements above are not adhered to, the
protection afforded by the earmuffs will be severely
impaired.
EN 352 Safety Statements:
• The fitting of hygiene covers to the cushions may affect
the acoustic performance of the earmuffs.
• This product may be adversely affected by certain
chemical substances. Further information should be
sought from the manufacturer.
2.2. NOTE
• When worn according to these User Instructions, this
hearing protector helps reduce exposure to both
continuous noises, such as industrial noises and
noises from vehicles and aircraft, as well as very loud
impulse noises, such as gunfire. It is difficult to predict
the required and/or actual hearing protection obtained
during exposure to impulse noises. For gunfire, the
weapon type, number of rounds fired, proper selection,
fit and use of hearing protection, proper care of hearing
protection, and other variables will impact
performance. To learn more about hearing protection
for impulse noise, visit www.3M.com/hearing.
