RISK AGAINST WHICH THE PPE IS INTENDED TO PROTECT

For the risks the device is intended to protect against, please refer to the appropriate marking.
Warning: protection devices against high-speed particles worn over reference ophthalmic spectacles, can transmit potentially dangerous impact for the user.
Warning: If the symbols F, B and A are not common to both the visor and the structure, the lower level must be assigned to the complete eye protector.
Warning: if protection against high-speed particles at extreme temperatures is required, the selected eye protector should be marked with the letter T immediately after the impact letter, i.e. FT, BT or AT. If the impact letter is not followed by the letter T, the eye protector should only be used against high-speed particles at room temperature.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

As a preventive measure, it is imperative to use the visor throughout the course of the work or sports activities. For adequate protection, the visor must be securely mounted on the helmet in order to offer maximum safety. The visor must be adjusted to fit the wearer; it should be positioned in such a way as to minimize the intrusion of any external agents that could damage the eyes.
The protective material covered by this manual consist of hypoallergenic materials. However, some particularly sensitive users could have allergic reactions. In this case, it is recommended to discontinue use and, where appropriate, consult your doctor.

CLEANING

Remove the visor from the helmet and clean it using only water and neutral soap. Leave to dry naturally at room temperature.
Absolutely avoid the use of chemical detergents, solvents, petrol or abrasive powders as they are aggressive materials that could cause a reduction in the structural strength of the visor. Never rub the lens when it is dry.

STORAGE

Store in a dry and warm place away from UV rays. When not in use and during transport, it is best to keep the visor protected from direct sunlight and away from heat sources. We recommend storing the visor in the original package. Do not apply adhesives, solvents, stickers and paint if not in compliance with the manufacturer’s specifications. Any unplanned repair or modification may adversely affect the protective function of the visor.

TRANSPORT

There are no special precautions for transporting the device.

LIFESPAN
The KASK articles and accessories made of plastic may have a maximum duration of 10 years starting from the year of manufacture stated on the product.
The lifespan of the visor depends on several degenerative factors, including changes in temperature, the amount of exposure to direct sunlight and the more or less intense use. Regularly check the visor for the presence of any damage. Vision alteration, scrapes, and scratches are detectors of deterioration of the visor, and we recommend replacing it.
Dispose of and replace the product in the following cases:

Product with a production date older than 10 years
Product subject to a strong impact, fall or mechanical deformation.
Product that does not meet the control requirements.
