SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The 3M Speedglas 9100FX help protect the wearer's eyes
and face from sparks/spatter, harmful ultra-violet radiation
(UV) and infra-red radiation (IR) resulting from certain arc/
gas welding processes. The product is designed to be used
only with 3M Speedglas 9100 welding filters and protection
plates. The 3M Speedglas 9100FX air also protects against
certain airborne contaminants when used with an approved
air delivery unit.

duty overhead welding/cutting operations due to the risk
of burns from falling molten metal.

Materials which may come into contact with the wearer's
skin are not known to cause allergic reactions to the
majority of individuals. These products do not contain
components made from natural rubber latex.
Do not use for respiratory protection against unknown
atmospheric contaminants or when concentrations of
contaminants are unknown or immediately dangerous to
life or health (IDLH).
Do not use in atmospheres containing less than 19.5%
oxygen (3M definition. Individual countries may apply their
own limits on oxygen deficiency. Seek advice if in doubt).
Do not use these products in oxygen or oxygen-enriched
atmospheres.
Leave the contaminated area immediately if: Any part
of the system becomes damaged, airflow into the
headtop decreases or stops, breathing becomes difficult,
dizziness or other distress occurs, you smell or taste
contaminants or irritation occurs.
High winds above 2m/s, or very high work rates (where
the pressure within the headtop can become negative)
can reduce protection. Adjust equipment as appropriate
or consider an alternative form of respiratory protective
device.
Users should be clean-shaven where the respirator's
face seal comes into contact with the face.
When working in cold environments an antifog visor
plate shall be used due to risk of fogging.
The welding shield is heat resistant but can catch fire or
melt in contact with open flames or very hot surfaces.
Keep the shield clean to minimize this risk.
