► Check each time before using the
ear protection that it is in perfect
condition (for example, visual state
of ear protection). If the ear
protection is damaged or has
altered, it must be disposed of
immediately.
WARNING
￭ The protective effect may be
significantly reduced if the
information and instructions
provided in this Instruction Manual
are not observed.
￭ The full protective effect can only
be achieved if the hear protection
is worn at all times when in a noisy
environment.
￭ Ensure that the hearing protectors
are regularly inspected for
serviceability.
￭ Any modifications to the hearing
protection can impair the protective
effect.
► Therefore do not modify the
hearing protection in any way.
► If the hearing protection has
been modified it must be
disposed of immediately.
￭ No hearing protection can ensure
total protection against hearing
damage. The level of protection
depends on various factors, such
as the duration of use and
frequency of the noise source.

￭ This hearing protection 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.
￭ The perception of sounds
indicating potential danger (shouts,
audible warnings, etc.) is restricted
when wearing ear protection.
► Pay increased attention and take
greater care.
► Use of perspiration/hygienic
protection over the sealing rings
can reduce the hearing
protector's noise attenuation
properties.
￭ Earmuffs complying with EN 352-3
are of medium size range or small
size range or large size range.
Medium size range earmuffs will fit
the majority of wearers. Small size
range or large size range earmuffs
are designed to fit wearers for
whom medium size range earmuffs
are not suitable.
Adjusting the hearing protection
► Place the ear defenders over your
ears and remove all hair between
your ear and the pad of the ear
defender.
