• Use the welding helmet only for eye and face protection against harmful ultra violet and infrared radiation, sparks and spatter from welding.

• Never look directly at welding arcs without eye protection when the arc is initiated. Failure to do so may cause painful inflammation of the cornea and potentially irreversible damage to the lens which may result in cataracts.

• Look out! Danger of injury if a person wearing a mask and goggles is hit by particles thrown at high speed.

• The mask, filter and shields do not guarantee unlimited protection against major shocks or impacts, explosive mechanisms or corrosive liquids. Avoid welding or cutting in these severe environments.

• Do not weld or cut above his head with this mask.

• Before each use :

  • Carefully inspect the mask.

  • Replace face shields if they are cracked or scratched to prevent damage to the user’s eyes.

• The polypropylene plastic mask may possibly cause allergies in those sensitive to the material.

• Make sure that the sensors and cell are not obstructed by dust or debris.

• We recommend using the mask and visors for 5 years. The length of use depends on various factors such as type of use, cleaning, storage and maintenance.

BEFORE WELDING

• Check that the welding helmet is in good condition and headband adjustment.
• Check whether the front cover lens, the front frame and filter are inserted and fixed in place. In case of anomalies, please proceed to its reconditioning.
• Make sure that the protection films on both screens are removed.
• Check that the protection level matches your welding processes. Please refer to the following chart to help your choice (cf. welding process board)

OPERATION

• Take away the mask at the end of the weld.

PRECAUTIONS

• The welding helmet is suitable for use with virtually all welding processes except Oxy-Acetylene welding, laser welding and gas welding.
• Standard protective screens must be installed on both inside and outside surfaces of the module. Failure to use protective screens may constitute a safety hazard or result in irreparable damage to the module.

MAINTENANCE

• Expiration date : No expiration date for this product but the state of the welding helmet must be checked before each use.
• The welding helmet must not fall down.
• The deterioration of the filter or its protective screen can reduce the vision field or the protection level. Replace the damaged parts.
• Clean the filter with a clean cotton or with a special rag for lens.
