Before use, the helmet must be properly adjusted to provide effective protection.
The user should adjust the hard hat to the circumference of the head, changing

The helmet includes a ratchet mechanism to adjust to the circumference of the
head with the precision of 1mm over a range of 53 to 63cm.
After putting the helmet on the head, adjust it to the head circumference by
turning the knob of the headband (1) located on the back of the helmet (Fig.1).
Turning to the left (2) allows you to loosen and turn to the right (3) to tighten the
headband.
