• This is an addendum to the User Instructions for the 3M Speedglas Auto‑Darkening Welding Helmets and the associated
hard hat models listed in Table 1. Always read and follow the User Instructions provided with each individual component
of any welding helmet or hard hat assembly. User Instructions include important warnings and use limitations. Failure to
do so may result in sickness or death.
• This product meets the requirements of certain industrial eyewear, face, and head protection standards. It does not
provide complete eye and face protection from significant impact and penetration and is not a substitute for good
safety practices and engineering controls. Misuse may result in serious bodily injury or death. For correct use,
consult your supervisor and User Instructions or contact 3M Technical Service in the U.S.A. at 1‑800‑243‑4630. In
Canada, call Technical Service at 1‑800‑267‑4414.
• Do not use any welding shield or head protection products without appropriate training.
Important: To maintain ANSI compliance, use only the exact components listed in the User Instructions.
• Do not modify or use parts or accessories other than those described in these User Instructions. Failure to do so may
result in serious injury or death.
Introduction
Two ANSI standards cover performance requirements for welding shields combined with hard hats: Z87.1‑Eye and Face
Protection Devices and Z89.1 Industrial Head Protection. Both standards require welding helmets and hard hats to be
tested as a complete assembly, as they would be worn by a welder. Assembling a welding hard hat using components from
different manufacturers or brands voids ANSI compliance unless tests verify that the assemblies remain compliant with the
ANSI requirements. These User Instructions cover the 3M™ Speedglas™ 9100 series welding helmet, mounted to certain
hard hats that have been independently tested for compliance with the above referenced ANSI standards. In all cases, the
3M™ Speedglas™ 9100 Hardhat Adapter for 3M™ Speedglas™ 9100 helmets (part number 06‑0014‑00NR) was used as
the mounting device.
IMPORTANT: To maintain ANSI compliance, use only the exact components listed in these User Instructions.
Specifications
‑ Eye and Face Impact: ANSI Z87.1 high impact protector (Z87+)
‑ Head Impact: ANSI Z89.1, Type I (top impact)
Hard Hat Options
The configurations that were tested and passed the above referenced ANSI impact test requirements are summarized in
Table 1. Use with hardhats other than those listed in Table 1 have not been tested as complete assemblies and would void
compliance with the above reference ANSI standards.
