Applications:
The Speedglas 9100 MP Welding & Safety Helmet together with 9100
Series Welding Filters are designed for most welding processes, such
as MMA, MIG/MAG, TIG, plasma welding and oxyacetylene
welding/cutting.
The Speedglas 9100 MP Welding & Safety Helmet is excellent for
welding preparations such as grinding thanks to the large clear
viewing area. The Speedglas 9100 Welding & Safety Helmet is
designed to be used with 3M Air Delivery Units. See appropriate
reference leaflet for approved combinations.

Operating instructions:
Adjust the Speedglas 9100 MP Welding Helmet according to your
individual requirements to reach the highest comfort and protection.
(see fig B:1 - B:3).
Adjust and fit the air delivery unit as outlined in the appropriate User
Instruction. Adjust the face seal to suit the shape of the face. (see fig
G:7) If needed, lift the visor and adjust the airflow deflector. When fully
opened, more airflow is directed across the face. When partially
closed, a portion of the air is directed towards the visor. (see fig H:1)
It is important that the face seal is correctly mounted and fitted
to provide the correct protection factor. Do not remove the welding
helmet or turn off the air supply until you have vacated the
contaminated area.
Headtops used in aggressive environments or outside in direct
sunlight may need to be replaced more frequently than headtops used
occasionally indoors.
3M recommends a maximum life (shelf-life plus in-use life) of 3
years from the date of manufacture when stored in accordance with
the recommended storage conditions for the head protection part
(helmet).
Note: date of manufacture is molded on the helmet plastic part.
When working in environments with intense light radiation that
gives heat, environments with welding spatter or when high visibility is
required, 3M Speedglas Safety Helmet Cover shall be used.
Limitations of use:
Only use with original 3M 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.
