Note!

Flashing light sources (e.g. safety strobe lights) can trigger the welding fil- ter making it flash when no welding is occurring. This interference can occur from long distances and/or from reflected light. Welding areas must be shiel- ded from such interference.

Caution!

Should the Speedglas SL welding shield fail to switch to the dark state upon ignition of an arc, stop welding immediately and inspect the welding filter as described in these instructions. Continued use of the welding filter that fails to switch to the dark state may cause temporary vision loss. If the problem cannot be identified and corrected, do not use the welding filter, contact your supervisor, distributor or 3M for assistance.

MAINTENANCE

Replacement of outer protection plate.

Remove the used outer protection plate and place the new outer protection plate on the welding shield as indicated in figures C:1– C:2.

Note!

Make sure that the protection plate is correctly snapped in on all four columns. See figure C:3.

Replacement of inner protection plate.

The used inner protection plate is removed as illustrated in figure D:1. The new inner protection plate should be inserted after the protective film is removed as illustrated in figure D:2. Locate one of the sides by fitting the corners according to figure D:3. Bend the middle part and fit the other two corners. Make sure that the inner protection plate is mounted correctly as illustrated in figure D:3.

Replacement of welding filter.

The welding filter can be removed and replaced according to figure C:1 and E:1.

Replacement of headband.

The headband can be replaced according to figure F:1– F:2.

Replacement of battery.

The welding filter must be removed to acess the battery compartment. Take out the battery holder (use a small screwdriver if necessary).

SL specifications

3M SL, also known as 3M Science of Safety, is an innovative product line that blends advanced materials science with cutting-edge technologies to enhance personal safety and workplace productivity. Designed for various industries, including healthcare, construction, and manufacturing, 3M SL focuses on delivering solutions that prioritize user protection without compromising comfort.

One of the standout features of 3M SL products is their exceptional breathability. Utilizing state-of-the-art filtration technology, 3M SL mask designs allow for optimal airflow while effectively filtering out harmful particles. This is particularly crucial in high-risk environments where prolonged usage is required. The specialized materials used in these masks contribute to a lightweight feel, ensuring that users can wear them for extended periods without discomfort.

Another significant characteristic of 3M SL is its commitment to standard compliance. The products are rigorously tested to meet or exceed rigorous safety standards, such as NIOSH and EN regulations. This compliance not only assures users of their effectiveness in protecting against airborne contaminants but also emphasizes 3M's dedication to maintaining the highest quality assurance levels.

In addition to these features, 3M SL employs innovative technologies, such as the use of advanced electrostatic filters. These filters generate a charged static field that attracts and captures smaller particles more efficiently than traditional filtering methods. This technology enhances protection while reducing breathing resistance, further contributing to user comfort.

3M SL also emphasizes versatility in its product offerings. From surgical masks designed for healthcare professionals to respirators suitable for industrial applications, the range caters to a diverse audience. This adaptability ensures that varying levels of protection and comfort are available to meet the specific needs of different users.

Ergonomic designs play a crucial role in the 3M SL range. With features such as adjustable nose clips and soft inner materials, the products are tailored to fit a variety of face shapes, enhancing both comfort and efficacy. This thoughtful design approach minimizes gaps that could allow unfiltered air to enter, maximizing protection.

Lastly, 3M SL embraces sustainability through responsible material sourcing and manufacturing processes, making it a forward-thinking option in personal protection. By investing in sustainable practices, 3M is not only committed to user safety but also to environmental stewardship.

In conclusion, 3M SL stands out in the crowded market of personal protective equipment by leveraging advanced materials science, innovative technologies, and ergonomic design to deliver superior comfort and safety. The combination of breathability, compliance with safety standards, and versatile applications makes 3M SL a leading choice for anyone seeking reliable protection in challenging environments.
