GENERAL INFORMATION

Read the instructions carefully before using the visor; the failure to observe the above could reduce the safety offered by the visor. In the event of an accident with injuries or even death due to improper use of the visor, the manufacturer and/or distributor are not liable. This visor must be used only and exclusively for the activities for which it was certified. This visor has been CE certified for general use with safety helmets for work at heights, woodland and industrial work in accordance with EN 166:2001.
The visor meets the requirements of ANSI Z87.1. The visor cannot be used individually unless in combination with PLASMA WORK, SUPERPLASMA 2, SUPERPLASMA HD, HP helmet models. This product is not intended for use in situations other than those for which it was designed (e.g. electrical hazards).
The visor covered by this manual is a type II category Personal Protective Equipment and as such has undergone an EU-type examination procedure with application of the requirements set out in Annexes V and VI of EU Regulation 2016/425.

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
