WARNINGS
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE WARNINGS
AND INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS BODILY INJURY OR
DEATH.
• This hard hat is designed to provide limited head protection from
small falling objects, such as small tools, nuts and bolts, etc.,
striking the top of the hard hat. A Type II helmet MUST be used for
protection against front, side or rear blows.
• DO NOT expose suspension and padding to open flame.
• ELECTRICAL WARNING: Avoid areas where the chance of electrical
shock exists. Non-vented versions meet Class E requirements by
providing limited electrical protection. Class C vented models provide
NO electrical protection.
• If the hard hat has sustained an impact, dispose of it
IMMEDIATELY, even if damage is not visible.
• NEVER alter, puncture, modify or engrave the shell or the
suspension.
• DO NOT use paints, solvents, chemicals, adhesives, gasoline or like
substances on this hard hat – doing so can lessen the protection
offered against impact and penetration.
• DO NOT use this hard hat as a vehicular or recreational hard hat.
• DO NOT
store objects between the suspension and the shell, as the
hard hat will not function as intended and can lessen the protection
from impact and penetration.
• Exposure to direct sunlight, corrosive environments, and/or extreme
temperatures above 120°F (49°C) can lessen the ability of the hard
hat to withstand impact and penetration.
MAINTENANCE
HARD HAT CLEANING AND STORAGE
• Clean the hard hat and suspension with mild soap and water only.
Rinse and wipe dry. Store in a cool place.
• See SWEATBAND AND TOP COMFORT PAD section of the
operating instructions (on other side) for additional maintenance
information.
INSPECTION AND REPLACEMENT
Inspect the hard hat, including the suspension and shell, before and
after each use:
• Check the Hard Hat’s shell for any cracks, breakage, discoloration,
chalky appearance, or any other damage, excessive wear or
unusual condition. These conditions may indicate reduced impact
or penetration resistance and the Hard Hat must be replaced
IMMEDIATELY.
• The suspension should be checked for cracks, breaks, damaged
stitching or any other damage, excessive wear or unusual
condition. If any of these conditions exist, the suspension must be
replaced IMMEDIATELY.
• Always use genuine Klein Tools replacement parts. This product
works as a system, and use of unauthorized suspensions may
reduce the protection you receive from this hard hat.
USEFUL LIFE
SUSPENSION AND OPTIONAL CHIN STRAP: Must be replaced after
no more than 12 months of use.
ENTIRE HARD HAT: Entire Hard Hat should be replaced after 2
years of use, or no more than 5 years from the date of manufacture,
whichever comes first.
These are useful service life guidelines. Regular inspection as
detailed in the MAINTENANCE section above MUST be performed,
and may result in possible earlier replacement.
NOTE: This replacement schedule is a guideline that assumes
normal use and storage conditions for the hard hat. If the hard
hat is exposed to temperature extremes, persistent sunlight, or
chemicals, replacement may be required in a shorter time frame.

ADJUSTMENTS (FIG. E)
STEP 3: Verify the hard hat fits properly. Follow the steps
in the FITTING section to ensure proper fit. Ensure that
accessories you plan to use fit and function properly while
maintaining the hard hat’s ability to perform its function
optimally. Check with a qualified safety expert, if unsure.
NOTE: The suspension strap lengths are xed and cannot be
adjusted. DO NOT attempt to alter.
REVERSE DONNING (FIG. F)
NOTE:
Some jobsites may not permit reverse donning - Check
with your jobsite's Safety Supervisor before changing your
hard hat to this conguration.
STEP 1: Place your forefinger under the strap anchor, and your
thumb over the anchor slot
11
. Push up with forefinger using
enough force to release the anchor from the slot. Do this for all
anchor slots (4 total).
NOTE: DO NOT pull on the suspension
straps to free the anchor. This could permanently damage
the straps, preventing them from performing as intended.
STEP 2: Make any height adjustments for the sweatband
before installation.
STEP 3: Push down each anchor until a click is heard and the
anchor cannot be pushed down any further. Do this for all 4
anchors.
NOTE: DO NOT use sharp tools that may damage
the anchors, or pull on the straps to secure the anchors.
STEP 4: Check proper installation by pushing up on all 4
anchor bases. The anchors should remain fully seated in their
slots. If not, repeat STEP 3.
STEP 5: Verify the hard hat fits properly. Follow the steps in
the FITTING section to ensure proper fit. Also ensure that
accessories you plan to use fit and function properly while
maintaining the hard hat’s ability to perform optimally.
SWEATBAND AND TOP COMFORT PAD* (FIG.H)

top comfort pad* designed to wick away sweat. They are
machine washable in a normal wash cycle. Do NOT wash with
bleach or with detergents containing bleach. Machine dry on
normal or low heat setting only.
The sweatband and top comfort pad* can be easily removed
and reinstalled on the suspension:
• The top comfort pad* is held in place by a single hook-and-
loop pad
25
.
• The sweatband is held in place by four suspension hooks
26
and three hook-and-loop pads
25
,
on the side and front. To
remove, simply detach all hook-and-loop pads and slide the
sweatband off the suspension hooks.
VENTS (C-CLASS ONLY)
Klein Tools Class C hard hats have vents and shutters on both
sides. The vents can be adjusted by simply sliding the shutter
tabs
7
up or down.
The vents and shutters will NOT prevent vapors, liquids,
or debris smaller than the vents from entering the hard hat.

specifically for Klein hard hats that have the integrated front
and rear accessory slots. It functions as a spot light or flood

FITTING (FIG. D)
All hard hats come with suspension pre-installed at factory settings.
The suspension can be adjusted to ensure proper and secure fit to
your head for maximum protection. Follow the steps below:
STEP 1: Turn the size adjustment knob
9
counterclockwise to loosen
the fit. Position the rear pad on the back of your head, closer to the
neck. Dress any bandana knots or ponytails the rear neck pad over
10
.
STEP 2: Tighten by turning the
size adjustment knob
9
clockwise until the hard hat is comfortable and snug. Move
your head up, down and side-to-side gently, like you would
normally, and make sure the hard hat stays on. Make sure that
the hard hat is not angled forward or backward, but rests level
on your head.
ADJUSTMENTS (FIG. E)
If the hard hat does not fit properly at the factory settings, you
can further adjust the fit:
STEP 1: Free the suspension by turning the suspension
bracket
16
approximately 90 degrees to free the bracket key
17
from the bracket key slots.
STEP 2: Determine which slot
18
you want to reattach to.
Using the bracket slots deeper in the hard hat will move it
higher on the head and vice versa. Insert the bracket key
17
and turn the bracket
16
approximately 90 degrees to lock into
place. Always match the settings on the left and right sides to
prevent the suspension from sitting at an angle.
