This face shield may only be attached
to and used with the STIHL
ADVANCE Vent or STIHL ADVANCE
X-Vent helmet.
The face shield is designed for use
when working with chain saws
(e.g.timber harvesting). The level of
protection in other applications
cannot be predicted.
► Check each time before using the
face shield that it is in perfect
condition (for example, visual state
of faceshield). If the face shield is
damaged or has altered, it must be
disposed of immediately.
WARNING
► Material that comes into contact
with the skin can cause allergic
reactions in sensitive users.
► The visor does not provide
adequate protection against
particles thrown into the air at
high speed, e.g. when operating
clearing saws or cut-off saws.
We recommend additionally
wearing eye protection (safety
glasses) conforming to EN 166.
Neither does the mesh visor
protect against liquid splash, hot
solids, electrical hazards,
infrared and ultra violet radiation
or chemical hazards.
► To avoid damage to the material
do not allow this face shield to
come into contact with pointed or
sharp objects (chain saw
chain,metal tools, etc.) or
aggressive substances such as
aggressive detergents, acids,
oils, solvents, fuels, etc.
► Contact with hot objects
(exhaust, etc.) and other sources
of heat (open fire, stove, etc.)
should also be avoided.
► When products with different
marks are combined, the mark of
the lowest protection class
applies.
► Any modifications to the face
shield can impair the protective
effect. Therefore do not modify
the face shield in any way. If the
face shield has been modified, it
must be disposed of
immediately.
► No personal protective
equipment can ensure total
protection against injury. The
level of protection depends on a
large number of factors.
► This face shield is no substitute
for a safe working
technique.Improper use of a
power tool can result in
accidents. It is therefore
essential to observe the safety
regulations issued by the
respective authorities
(employer’s liability insurance
associations, etc.) and the safety
instructions in the Instruction
Manual of the power tool being
used.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
► Wash and clean the visor after use.
Take care not to scratch the visor.
► Clean with a mild detergent (soap).
The detergent used must not
irritate the skin.
