SAFETY

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.

• Ensure the floor is clear from obstructions, not slippery and wear non-slip shoes.

• Keep children and unauthorised persons away from the working area.
  WARNING! The helmet will only protect the eyes and face from radiation and sparks. It will not protect against explosive devices or corrosive liquids.

• DO NOT use helmet for any purpose for which it is not designed.

• DO NOT use helmet unless you have been instructed in its use by a qualified person.

• DO NOT open or tamper with the shade cartridge.

• 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 window fitted. To do so will invalidate your warranty.

• Clean helmet (see section 5.4) and store the helmet in a safe, dry, childproof location.

• 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.

• WARNING! DO NOT use the helmet if damaged or you suspect it may be faulty. (Contact Sealey stockist).

• DANGER! DO NOT USE if, at any time, the face plate in the cartridge FAILS to darken when exposed to a welding spark. Remove cartridge and return to your Sealey stockistfor checking.

• Continued use of the product knowing that the auto darkening feature is NOT FUNCTIONING may DAMAGE YOUR EYES and CAUSE BLINDNESS.
