WARNING
Read all warnings and instructions before using. Misuse of this product may cause severe injury, including death
and permanent head injury. Caco Abbo Internacional S.A & Caco America LLC shall not be liable for any consequential or
incidental damages produced from the use of this product. This product MEETS ANSI/ISEA Z89.1 and Type 1 requirements for
Industrial Head Protection. Please refer to the shell label for specific standard "Type" and "Class" levels for each model.
Safety helmets are designed to provide limited protection to the head by reducing the force of falling objects striking the top
of the safety helmet shell. While limited protection is provided in other parts of the shell, this safety helmet was not designed
to provide front, side or rear impact protection. Before using, please ensure you are using the correct Personal Protective
Equipment for the desired job. For work-related use, perform an OSHA-compliant hazard assessment to determine the protective
equipment required by your work circumstances; wearer should consult with your supervisor or safety specialist and refer to the
ANSI/ISEA Z89.1 and Type 1 requirements for Industrial Head Protection to determine the appropriate protective equipment
required. Correctly wearing this safety helmet on a construction site may lessen, reduce, or prevent a head injury from certain falling
objects. This safety helmet protects but does not guarantee absolute protection if used for the inadequate job.
This product is NOT unbreakable. Avoid contact with electrical wires at ALL TIMES. DO NOT Carry or wear anything inside your
safety helmet between the suspension and the shell, as a clearance safety zone must be always existent for the shock absorbing
protection system to work properly. It is not recommended to wear anything under the suspension, if needed to wear anything such
as winter liners or sunshades designed to work in conjunction with safety helmets, please consult with your supervisor or safety
specialist and refer to the ANSI/ISEA Z89.1 and Type 1 requirements to ensure it will not affect the safety helmet's protective
properties.
Inspect your safety helmet shell and suspension before every use. DO NOT use, and replace immediately if signs of frayed straps,
cracks, environmental degradation, or any type of damage appear. If the safety helmet shell has signs of faded color, chalky
appearance and starts to feel stiff and fragile, this could mean that the shell is degrading or weakening. Before using, make sure to
adjust the suspension to achieve a snug and secure fit. If the safety helmet has sustained any type of impact, it must be disposed
and replaced immediately, even if damage is not visible. Once the safety helmet has sustained an impact, materials may be
weakened, and it may no longer provide its optimal protection.
Please make sure to follow all safety measures when using in the workplace. Avoid working directly underneath others. DO NOT walk
or work under a suspended load. Always watch for low overhead clearance hazards. If working in higher elevations, make sure to
use a safety helmet chin strap to prevent the safety helmet from falling.
DO NOT alter, modify, puncture, or engrave the shell or suspension of the safety helmet. For proper care, clean the shell and
suspension with mild soap and water. DO NOT use solvents, paints, adhesives, gasoline, chemicals or any like substances on this
safety helmet, as they may weaken the safety helmet materials without the user noticing. Keep in a dry, clean and shaded spot.
