The use instructions for this equipment are comprised of general instructions and
specific instructions. Both must be carefully read before use. Attention! This sheet
contains only the specific instructions.
SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS EN 397. This document contains the information neces-
sary to correctly use of the helmets Work Shell and Work Shell+.
1) FIELD OF APPLICATION. EN 397:2012+A1:2012- Industrial safety helmets.
This device complies with the optional requirements of the standard EN 397 rele-
vant to the protection against impacts up to -30°.
1.1 - Strength of the chinstrap. The EN 397 standard requires the chinstrap to
have a strength between 15 daN and 25 daN to help reduce the risk of strangu-
lation. Caution! In case of accidental opening of the auto-release safety buckle,
fit it back into its original position as shown (Fig. 7).
2) NOMENCLATURE (Fig. 3). 1) Outer shell. 2) Chinstrap fastening buckle. 3)
Buckle for automatic release between 15 and 25 daN. 4) Adjustment chinstrap
routing elements. 5) Slots for fitting the visor. 6) Headband. 7) Slots for mount-
ing plug-in ear defenders. 8) Headband adjustment dial. 9) Clips for headlamp
mounting. 10) Label. 11) Ventilation holes (if present). 12) Internal shell.
3) MARKINGS. On the label (Fig. 2) you find: 1) Name of constructor or compa-
ny which has brought product to market. 2) Product definition. 3) Product model.
4) Reference number. 5) Number of EN reference norm. 6) Place of manufacturing.
7) Logo telling users to read instructions carefully before use. 8) CE marking. 9)
Statement indicating that the equipment meets the optional requirement of the EN
397 standard for the protection against impacts and penetration down to -30° C.
10) Size. 11) Product weight. 12) Individual serial number. 13) Pictogram accom-
panying the indication of month (MM) and year (YYYY) of manufacture. 14) Area
for indicating user's name. 15) Pictogram preceding the manufacturer's address.
4) CHECKS. Verify before each use that: the shell has no cracks, deformations,
signs of wear, burns or variations of colour on the surface; straps and stitching
are undamaged without cuts, burns, worn areas or loose threads; the headband
and its attachment points are undamaged; the headband adjustment knob, the
underchin forwards-backwards adjustment separators, the underchin tightening/
closing buckle and the auto-release safety buckle are undamaged. Attention!
Following a violent impact, internal damage to the helmet can be present which is
not visible to the naked eye. This can substantially reduce the helmet's strength and
energy absorbing capacity: for this reason the helmet must always be substituted
after a violent impact.
5) INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE. To ensure adequate protection, the helmet must be
the right size and adjusted to fit the user's head (Fig.1). Attention! Do not use a
helmet if it cannot be adjusted correctly. If this happens, substitute it with a different
size/ different model helmet.
5.1 - Positioning and adjustment. Open the headband by turning its adjustment
knob (Fig. 4.1) and position the helmet on your head so that the headband ad-
justment knob is on the nape of the neck (Fig. 4.2). Rotate the adjustment knob
to increase or reduce the circumference, until you reach the optimum size (Fig.
4.3-4.4). Adjust the vertical position of the headband by sliding it up or down
along the straps. Slide the underchin forwards-backwards adjustment separators
along the strap so that the helmet fits perfectly (Fig. 4.5). The separators should be
positioned to be below the user's ears. Close the quick-release buckle: you hear a
"click" when the buckle is correctly closed (Fig. 4.6). Tighten the underchin strap
to make the helmet fit more snugly. To check that the buckle is correctly closed, pull
on the underchin strap as shown (Fig. 4.7). To remove the helmet, push the side
tabs of the closing buckle. Attention! Make sure that there are no slack sections
of strap between the adjustment system and the shell (Fig. 6.1÷6.4). Correct ad-
justment of all straps ensures improved comfort during use and avoids the helmet
accidentally falling off: lateral and forwards and backwards movement must be
minimised.
6) GENERAL WARNINGS. These helmets protect the user's head from objects
falling from above and from impact against obstacles. Wearing the helmet re-
duces considerably risks derived from activities at height but does not completely
eliminate them and therefore the user should always behave prudently and with
awareness of the consequences of their actions. If impacts are more violent than
those of the standards for which the helmet has been developed and homologat-
ed, the helmet will deform to absorb the maximum possible amount of energy, with
extreme loading resulting in possible breakage of the helmet.
6.1 - Precautions for use. Do not put any stickers and/or adhesives whatsoever
onto the helmet's surface and avoid contact with chemical substances and/or
varnishes (but not only limited thereto), or with other products that may contain
substances that could alter the helmet's physical characteristics. Even if damag-
es are not immediately visible, the helmet's capacity of absorbing impacts may
be seriously compromised. Attention! In compliance with the safety standards
it has been built according to, the helmet may be subject to damages if high
compression forces are exerted on it. It is therefore absolutely necessary to avoid:
subjecting the helmet to impacts on purpose, for any reason whatsoever; using the
helmet to sit on it, i.e. as though it were a seat; leaving the helmet closed up in a

parked car and exposed to sunlight, especially during summer months; pressing
the helmet into a backpack or trying to get it to fit into a backpack that is already
much too full.
6.2 - Temperature range for use. The device has been designed to be used under
the climatic conditions which a person can normally tolerate (temperature in use
between -30°C and +50°). All the materials and treatments are antiallergic, and
do not cause irritations or sensitize the skin.
7) Periodic check.
At least every 12 months (6 months for heavy duty, use in close proximity to the
sea or in corrosive environments), a rigorous check of the device must be carried
out by the manufacturer, by a competent person authorized by the manufacturer or by
a competent person according to the current national regulations on PPE inspection.
This frequency can vary depending on the frequency and intensity of usage.
Performing periodic checks on a regular basis is essential to ensure the continued
efficiency and durability of the device, on which the safety of the user depends.
The results of the checks will be related on the appropriate sheet that is supplied
with every device and that must accompany the device. Warning! If the sheet is
missing, or illegible, do not use the device. Device identification sheet (Fig. A): A)

8) STORAGE AND TRANSPORT. The helmet always comes packed in a card-
board box with the identification label of the manufacturer. During the transport
of the equipment, be cautious not to damage it. Caution! Storage conditions are
very important for the preservation of the helmet electrical and mechanical proper-
ties. Before using it and between each use, store the helmet in a suitable case, in
a dry and ventilated place, away from direct sunlight, from heat sources, UV rays
and chemicals and at a storage temperature between 5 and 35° C. Caution!
Do not leave the helmet in the car or in any other place exposed to the sunlight.
9) CLEANING. Clean the shell with soap and lukewarm water, then rinse with
water. If the helmet is dirty or contaminated (oil, tar, paint, etc.), the outer surface
shall be thoroughly cleaned, in accordance with what explained above.
10) CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS. Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) shell,
polyestere (PL) webbing straps, headband foam in polyethylene (PE).
11) REPLACEMENT PARTS / ACCESSORIES.
