[. . . ] 3M Safety Products for Welding and Grinding TM PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT 3M Welding 5 3 4 1 2 1 SAFETY ISSUES There are many potential health hazards related to welding and other metalworking jobs Welders have to be comfortable and properly protected. Of course, it's important to protect against heat, sparks and arc burn. However, metal oxides, metal particles and gases produced in some of these operations may result in serious respiratory hazards to workers. 3M offers a full line of products that can help protect workers against head injuries, eye injuries, hearing loss and certain airborne contaminants. 3 Hearing Protection Many welding and welding-related applications create noise that can result in hearing loss if workers are unprotected over a period of time.

RESPIRATOR SYSTEMS 10 3MTM SpeedglasTM Auto-Darkening Filters The highly-respected Speedglas line of auto-darkening welding filters and products is now part of 3M. See the Complete Catalog of Speedglas products or www. Speedglas. com for details. How Auto-Darkening Safety Works Each 3MTM SpeedglasTM Auto-Darkening Filter (ADF) is a laminate of seven different layers: a UV/IR filter, three polarizers, two liquid crystal elements and a cover glass. The UV/IR filter continually blocks harmful radiation, whether the filter is ON, OFF, light or dark. Aided by surface-mounted electronics, the proprietary liquid crystal elements act as shutters that detect and react to the welding arc by instantly shading the filter. Meets ANSI Z87. 1-2003 American National Standard Institute for eye and face protection. Safety Products That Help Increase Your Performance Now welders can see their work, at comfortable light levels, with constant eye and face protection. 3MTM SpeedglasTM Filters turn dark the moment an arc is struck and transparent again when welding stops­ all the time with full UV/IR protection. Auto-darkening eliminates the neck-strain of "helmet nodding" while helping increase the accuracy of electrode placement. This, in turn, helps reduce the need for grinding and rework. In addition, welders can get into tight, cramped spaces with full protection and have a clear view, making extremely awkward welds a lot easier. Welding Filter Replaceable protection plate Cover glass Polarizing lens Liquid crystal element Polarizing lens Liquid crystal element Polarizing lens UV/IR filter Replaceable protection plate Constant UV/IR Protection: This filter provides the same UV/IR filtration protection as a traditional, non-auto-darkening welding filter (as regulated by USA and Canadian welding safety standards). Note: Because faceshields and welding shields can be raised from the normal position, ANSI Z87. 1-2003 states that safety spectacles or goggles must be used in conjunction with these respirators. 11 3M TM SPEEDGLAS TM FILTERS & HELMETS Welding Helmets That Breathe The revolutionary 3M Speedglas Helmet 9000 features patented aerodynamic exhaust vents that help to enhance the flow of exhaled air. TM TM Ideal for Weld Prep/Grinding The 3MTM SpeedglasTM FlexView System has a big 4. 7 in. (120mm x 90mm) clear polycarbonate faceshield that's ideal for precision weld preparation work under a variety of lighting conditions. The user simply lifts up the spring-mounted Speedglas filter assembly for weld prep. The faceshield meets the ANSI Z87. 1-2003 industrial eye and face protection standard. Note: Exhaust vents are not available on the Speedglas Utility filter and helmet model. 3MTM SideWindows Helmets Improve Visibility, Safety and Comfort 3MTM SpeedglasTM SideWindows Helmets allow for peripheral vision. The two shade 5 side filters increase the peripheral viewing area by over 100%. SideWindows filters allow welders to see potentially-hazardous peripheral objects, such as protruding beams, vehicles, and other welders, with the helmet down. SideWindows also permit welders to easily move around their work area with constant protection from UV/IR radiation. The two side filters are designed solely for peripheral vision; the welder continues to view his own arc through the center (autodarkening) filter. A Balanced Hard Hat for Welders The 3MTM SpeedglasTM ProTop System has an exclusive pivot mechanism that "nests" the welding helmet down low over the hard hat, in a balanced, secure position. The lower center-ofgravity helps reduce neck strain. 3M TM SPEEDGLAS TM FILTERS & HELMETS 12 3MTM Hearing Protection Products for all Types of Welding Noise 3M offers hearing protection products that can meet the needs of a wide range of welding-type applications.
