Welding Helmet Donning & Fitting
Failure to follow these instructions may reduce respirator performance, overexpose you to contaminants, and may result in serious bodily
injury, sickness or death:
a. Always properly assemble and wear the product with the faceseal assembled.
b. The 3M™ Speedglas™ Heavy-Duty Welding Helmet G5-01 is one component of an approved respiratory protection system. Always read
and follow all User Instructions supplied with your 3M™ Speedglas™ Heavy-Duty Welding Helmet G5-01, Powered Air Purifying Respirator
(PAPR) Blower Unit or Supplied Air (SA) device in order to ensure correct system operation.

The following instructions cover donning and fitting your 3M™ Welding Helmet. Follow the User Instructions for your 3M™ Powered Air Purifying
Respirator (PAPR) blower unit or Supplied Air (SA) device to properly assemble, don, and fit your specific air source. Complete all necessary
performance checks as described in those User Instructions and verify that the airflow is adequate before donning your welding helmet and entering a
contaminated environment.
NOTE: You may want to have a colleague help check for proper donning.
1. Connect an approved breathing tube to the welding helmet. See "Connecting and Disconnecting Breathing Tubes" section for additional
information.
2. With the inner shield that holds the clear grinding visor (lens) in the up position, place the welding helmet on your head.
3. Turn the ratchet knob at the back of the suspension clockwise until the suspension feels snug but comfortable (Fig. 3a). Turn counterclockwise
to loosen, if needed. The suspension fits head sizes from 50-64 cm (US hat sizes 6 3/8 to 8). Adjust the top parts of the suspension for added
comfort (Fig. 3a). To make initial adjustment of the head suspension easier (and also for replacement) it may be removed from the welding helmet
(Fig. 3b).
