WARNING!

 This helmet is not suitable for use with laser welding or CUTTING or for overhead welding applications.

 

 Ensure all workshop safety rules, regulations and conditions are complied with when using welding equipment. The helmet will not offer 

protection against misuse of workshop tools, equipment, or accessories.  

 

Maintain the helmet in good condition and protect cartridge from liquid and dirt contact. Regularly replace the protective lens and replace 

any damaged or worn parts. Use genuine parts only. Unauthorised parts may be dangerous and will invalidate the warranty. 

 

 Ensure the front cover window is securely in place before use.

 

Fit the helmet and adjust the head band so the helmet will sit as low and near to your face as possible.

 

Use helmet only in temperatures ranging from -10°C  to 60°C.

 

Remove ill fitting clothing, remove ties, watches, rings and other loose jewellery. 

 

Maintain correct balance and footing.

WARNING!

 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.
