EN 1731:2006
The mesh face shield 5120918 has a total weight of around 220 g. The user can adjust the face shield for an optimum fit on
the head by adjusting the length of the vertical band (3) on the harness (via pins with corresponding holes) and the horizontal
band (4), by rotating the rear knob (5). The length of the band can be adjusted with the face shield fitted using a graduated
knob on the rear, which acts on on two rack segments. The mesh shield element, code 1093075, can be adjusted vertically to
about 180°, allowing the operator to raise or lower the shield when required without removing the entire PPE assembly from
their head. The face shield is equipped with side friction mechanisms for fixing the shield element, which enable the resistance
of the backward tilting movement to be adjusted. If this adjustment is made correctly, the face shield cannot be involuntarily
removed from the user's head, under the expected conditions of use, owing to sudden sideways or upward movements. Before
using the face shield, the user must therefore:
- assemble the device as follows:
• rotate the pins (2) by 90° until they reach the vertical position;
• Insert the shield element (1);
• rotate the pins (2) by 90° until they reach the horizontal position, ensuring that the shield element is correctly fastened;
- adjust the length of the harness bands, as specified above;
- adjust the tightness of the flip-back motion of the shield using the two side friction mechanisms (6), so that the shield cannot
be inadvertently raised under the envisaged working conditions, but can be raised easily when desired, without affecting the fit.
The face shield should be stored in an environment free from organic vapours, at a temperature between +5° and +30°C. To
avoid damage during transport and handling, we recommend keeping the face shield in its original packaging. To clean and
disinfect, wipe with soft anti-scratch cloths or fabric using any conventional disinfectant cleaning product for optical use.
DO NOT USE SOLVENTS.
The mesh face shield 5120918 complies with the requirements of EN 1731:2006 for protection from mechanical hazards.
The mesh face shield is generally worn to protect the user's eyes during gardening work. The mesh face shield provides adequate
protection of the user's eye area against accidental impact from obstacles potentially present in the work area, corresponding
to the impact of small objects no heavier than 0.8 g projected at a speed of no more than 12 m/s or objects no heavier than 40
g falling at a speed of no more than 5.1 m/s (protection code S). Mesh face shields marked with the letter S must not be used
to protect against the risk of hard or sharp flying particles (for example when using brush cutters, blowers and edge trimmers);
should such a risk be foreseen, additional eye protection must be worn, such as safety goggles meeting the requirements of EN
166:2001. If the cleaning instructions described above are followed, the mesh face shield should not be subject to excessive
wear under normal working conditions. Replace the mesh face shield if surface damage, such as scratches, cuts or dents, is
visible. The device should also be replaced after every significant impact. Only original parts supplied by TECOMEC for the
protection class indicated above should be used as spare parts for the protective face shield 5120918.
Use only the mesh shield element code 1093046 as a spare part. To replace the shield element, proceed as specified above
for the assembly procedure. Replace the complete device after no more than five years of normal use. The mesh face shield
5120918 carries a CE marking, the meaning and description of which is given below:

N.B.: The shield support carries a dual marking as it is a common element for two different PPE devices: a mesh face shield
and a polycarbonate face shield; in this case, the reference marking is the one given above.
Mesh face shields do not provide protection against liquid spray (including molten metal), red-hot solids, electrical hazards,
infra-red or ultraviolet radiation. Materials in contact with the user's skin may cause allergic reactions in some highly sensitive
individuals. The packaging and device must be disposed of in compliance with applicable legislation at the end of their useful
life. The certification procedure provided for by Article 10 of Directive 89/686/EEC has been carried out by CERTOTTICA,
Istituto italiano per la certificazione dei prodotti ottici Scrl, Zona industriale Villanova, I-32013 Longarone (BL), Italy, a notified
body registered with the European Commission (ID code 0530).
