Laser Protective Arc Flash Face Shield (6636)

Description

Genuine Laser · Part no. 6636

The Laser 6636 arc flash face shield is a full face screen on an adjustable headband, worn without a hard hat, for electrical work where a short circuit could cause an arc. The polycarbonate screen is treated against misting, carries EN166 and EN170 marks and is rated to 1000V.

Good to know

• When would I need one on a car? Anywhere a dropped spanner or slipped probe could short a big current: battery banks, high-current cabling and charging equipment, where the flash and molten metal from an arc are the risk.
• Does it protect me from electric shock? No, a face shield does not insulate you; it guards your face from the arc's light, heat and debris, so keep using insulated gloves and tools and isolate the supply first.
• Can I wear glasses under it? Yes, a face screen sits clear of the face, so normal or safety glasses go underneath, and the anti-mist treatment helps when you are working close in.

Which one?

For chemical splash and grinding rather than electrical arcs, the Portwest PW96 Face Shield Plus (PW96CLR). For eye protection alone, the Portwest PW26 Slim Safety Goggles (PW26CLR).
