Important
Please read and remember the following instructions before use to assure your own safety. If you have
any questions, please contact the manufacturer or your distributor.
Keep the manual for future reference. The welding hood should be used only for the purposes listed in
this manual.
1. Instruction for use
CA-29 Evolve is adapted for use with powered air purifying respirators (hereinafter PAPR) CleanAIR® or
with continuous flow compressed air line breathing apparatuses (hereinafter “compressed air systems
CleanAIR®) and thus provide protection of the respiratory tract.
CleanAIR® is a system of personal respiratory protection based on the principle of overpressure of filtered
air in the breathing zone.
The respirator is placed on the wearer’s belt and filtrates the air which is taken in from the surrounding
environment and then delivers it through a breathing tube into a protective hood. The overpressure prevents contaminants from entering the breathing zone. This mild overpressure at the same time ensures
the wearer’s comfort, even with long-term use, as the wearer does not have to struggle in their breathing
to overcome the resistance of the filter.
In addition to efficient protection of the respiratory tract, it protects also the head, eyes and face against
high speed particles (indicated: A) and at the same time provides basic protection against harmful
ultraviolet radiation. Welding shield with auto-darkening filter or passive welding filter (mineral glass) then
provides protection against harmful ultraviolet / infrared radiation and welding spatters.

2. Limitations on use
1. Never use the hood in the following environments and under the following conditions:
• If oxygen concentration in the environment is lower than 17 %.
• In oxygen-enriched environments.
• In explosive ambience.
• In environments where the user lacks knowledge about the kind of dangerous substance and its
concentration.
• In environments that represent an immediate threat to the life and health.
• If you are not sure, that shade number of your welding filter lens is suitable for your work.
• Replace protection filter immedediately, if it is damaged, or if spatter or scratches reduce vision.
• The hood does not protect against hard shocks, explosions or corrosive substances.
2. If work requires a protection against fast flying objects at extreme temperatures make sure that
visor has an marking T on it.
3. Material of the hood can cause allergic reactions to sensitive person.
4. Do not use tempered mineral filters without suitable backing lens.
5. The welding arc damages unprotected eyes!
6. The welding arc may burn unprotected skin!
7. Pay your attention to checking the product before use.
8. Move to a secure location and take appropriate measures when any of the following problems
occur while using the hood:
• If you feel significant increase of breathing resistance or any other problems with breathing.
• If you experience stench or irritation or an unpleasant taste while breathing.
• If you feel unwell or if you experience nausea.
9. Do not use, if any part of the system is damaged. The headpiece and the air hose must be checked prior
to each use. Possible cracks or leaks may influence negatively the required level of user protection.
10. Use certified original filters designed for your powered air purifying respirator only. Replace filters every
time you detect change of odour in supplied air from the respirator.
11. Filters designed for capturing solid and liquid particles (particle filters) do not protect the user against
any gases. Filters designed for capturing gases do not protect the user against any particles. In the
workplace contaminated with both types of pollution, combined filters must be used.
12. Do not remove the welding hood from your head or do not turn off the PAPR or the compressed air
system CleanAIR® until you leave the contaminated workplace.
13. Don’t put the welding hood on hot surface.
3. Filter change (see 12. Figures Annex)
To change the welding filter or protective foils:
1. Lift up the welding lid.
2. Release glass-retaining spring by bending it with fingers off from the plastic clip.
3. Remove old welding filter or protective foils.
4. Mount new welding filter or protective foils.
5. Press glass-retaining spring underneath the plastic pin. Check, whether ADF or protective foils are
firmly in place!
4. Grinding visor change (see 12. Figures Annex)
The change of the grinding visor:
1. Flip up the welding visor.
2. Push the grinding visor off from inside the welding hood.
3. Place the new visor on its place by fixing clips on one side and then place clips on the other side by
ending the visor. Make sure that all four clips are in place!

5. Headband adjustments (see 12. Figures Annex)
1. Height adjustment for headband: Adjust the headband height so, that the band part circulating the
head is positioned relatively low. This way welding hood stays well on the head. The padding should
be a little above the eyebrows. Height can be adjusted from the top of the head gear.
2. Adjustment of welding hood angle: Adjust the welding hood angle in regard to your face so that the
lower edge of welding hood is positioned near your chest in the welding position. This way the welding
hood provides the best protection.
3. Tension adjustment of head harness: Adjust the band tightness by rotating the adjusting wheel po-
sitioned in the back of the band.
4. Tension adjustment of welding hood: Adjust the tightness of welding hood in regard to head harness
by rotating the two thumb screws on the sides. Adjust the tightness of hood so that the high raised
hood stays up, but goes down when you nod your head. If the hood strikes against your chest when
falling, the adjustment is too loose or the hood angle has been adjusted too near your chest from the
limiter.
6. Control and maintenance
CA-29 Evolve is a complete welding hood consist of the grinding and welding shield, headband and air
distribution. Lifetime of the hood and visors is influenced by many factors such as: cold, heat, chemicals,
sunlight or incorrect use. The hood should be checked on a daily basis of possible damage of its inside
or outside structure.
Careful use and correct maintenance of welding hood enhances operating life and improves your safety!
Checking before use:
• Inspect that the protection plates are undamaged, clean and installed correctly. Replace lens
immediately, if it is damaged, or if spatter or scratches reduce vision.
• Inspect that the welding filter lens is undamaged and clean. The damaged welding filter lens impairs
protection and visibility and must be replaced immediately.
• Make sure that the shade number of welding filter lens is appropriate for your work (according to
„9. Filter shade number selection“).
• Inspect that the welding hood and headgear are undamaged.
• Inspect that welding shield is completely closed when lowered.
Cleaning:
• After each work shift, clean the head section, check individual parts, and replace damaged parts.
• Cleaning must be performed in a room with goоd ventilation. Avoid inhalation of harmful dust deposited
on individual parts!
• For cleaning, use lukewarm water (up to +40 °C) with soap or other non-abrasive detergent, and a soft
brush.
• It is prohibited to use cleaning agents with solvents.
• After cleaning individual parts with a damp cloth, it is necessary to rub them dry, or let them dry at
room temperature.
• For care about the visors and plastic parts is recommended to use the CleanAIR® ®klar-pilot Fluids.
Do not use dishwasher or dryer!
Do not use acetone or other cleaning solvents!
