The eye protective plate in helmet is 

NOT 

unbreakable . Helmet will not protect you against

severe impact hazards 

(such as, but not limited to) 

fragmenting abrasive discs/grinding

wheels, stones and other grinding tools, explosive devices or corrosive fluids . The helmet will
only protect the eyes and face from radiation and sparks .
Remove ill fitting clothing, remove ties, watches, rings, and other loose jewellery .  
Maintain correct balance and footing . Ensure the floor is not slippery and wear non slip shoes .
Keep children and unauthorised persons away from the working area .

  WARNING! DO NOT 

use the helmet if damaged or you suspect it may be faulty . (Contact Service Agent) .

DO NOT

 use helmet unless you have been instructed in its use by a qualified person .

DO NOT

 get the helmet wet or use in damp or wet locations . 

DO NOT

 leave work place with helmet in lowered position, as bright light source may darken cartridge unexpectedly .

DO NOT

 place the helmet on a hot surface .

DO NOT use helmet without front cover lens and frame fitted . To do so will invalidate your warranty .
Clean helmet (see section 5 .9) and store the helmet in a safe, dry, childproof location .
The materials of the helmet may, when coming into contact with the wearers skin, cause an allergic reaction to 
susceptible individuals . 
Before welding always inspect the cartridge filter to ensure that it is not damaged . To test the filter prior to welding, direct 
the front of the cartridge filter to a bright light source which will cause the lens to darken . Then using your hand rapidly 
cover and uncover the sensor . The filter should lighten momentarily then return to a dark state .

 DANGER!

 If, at any time, the face plate in the cartridge 

FAILS

 to darken when exposed to a welding spark, 

DO NOT 

USE

 . Remove cartridge and return to your dealer for checking . Continued use of the product knowing that the auto 

darkening feature is 

NOT FUNCTIONING

 may 

DAMAGE YOUR EYES

 and 

CAUSE BLINDNESS

 . Continued use of the 

helmet which is not functioning will invalidate the warranty and could prohibit a successful claim on any insurance 
company .
