WARNING!
It is important that the instructions for use are followed. Failure to do so
could result in a drastic reduction in the noise attenuation and may lead
to serious injury.
Read these instructions carefully and keep all information in a safe place.
– The hearing protector must be used at all times in noisy environments
to provide the full protection effect! Only 100% wear time provides full
protection.
– No hearing protection can provide complete protection against
hearing damage. The level of protection depends on a number of
factors, such as the duration of usage and the frequency of the noise
source.
– These earmuffs are no substitute for safe working techniques.
Improper use of the power tool may result in accidents. For this reason
it is important to observe all local safety regulations, standards and
ordinances as well as the safety precautions in the instruction manual
of the power tool you are using.
– The audibility of warning signals at a specific workplace may be
impaired if over protected, when using a hearing protector with a too
high noise attenuation performance in relation to the noise
environment. Be particularly alert and cautious when wearing hearing
protection because your ability to hear warnings (shouts, alarms, etc.)
is restricted.
– Certain chemical substances can have a destructive effect on this
product. More information is available from the manufacturer.
– Ensure that the hearing protectors are regularly inspected for
serviceability.
– Modifications to the product may have a negative influence on its
protective function. For this reason do not attempt to modify the
product in any way. Immediately discard products that have been
