ADJUSTING THE HEADBAND TO FIT

1. Press the headband adjustment knob on the back of the headband and rotate the knob either left or right to expand or contract the headband.
2. The top headband can be adjusted by bending the strap and positioning the peg in the appropriate hole.

ADJUSTING THE TILT ANGLE

1. Loosen the adjusting nuts slightly.
2. Move the tab onto the chosen pin on the headband, repeat on both sides. NOTE: The tabs should be located on the same pin on either side of the headband.
3. Retighten the adjusting nuts.
4. Try the headshield on and if necessary, readjust.

CARE & MAINTENANCE

GENERAL

Damaged components must be replaced immediately to avoid risk of eye and face injuries. Periodically inspect the lenses. Cracked, pitted or scratched lenses reduce vision and seriously reduce level of protection and should be replaced with genuine, certified spare parts. The lens can be removed for cleaning or replacement after prising out the lens retainer.

CLEANING & STORAGE 

The headshield should be stored in its box or similar place.
Clean all lenses with a soft tissue and suitable lens cleaning fluid. Do not use solvents. Never use tools or other sharp objects to remove material from the lens or headshield. This may cause damage which may impair function and invalidate the warranty.
