Replace the protective lens regularly and replace any damaged or worn parts. Use genuine parts only. Non authorised parts may be
dangerous and will invalidate the warranty.
NEVER open or tamper with the shade cartridge.
Select the shade level before use.
Ensure the front cover lens is securely in place before use.

WARNING! DO NOT use the helmet if damaged or you suspect it may be faulty.

DO NOT use helmet unless you have been instructed in its use by a competent 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 the warranty.
Clean helmet (see section 5.4) and store the helmet in a safe, dry, childproof location.
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 the 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 the dealer for checking. Continued use of the product knowing that the auto darkening feature is not
functioning may damage the eyes and cause blindness.
