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.

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

WARNING! Before welding always inspect the cartridge filter to ensure that it is not damaged. To test the filter prior to welding, direct the
R
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 dealer).

DANGER! DO NOT USE if, at any time, the face plate in the cartridge FAILS to darken when exposed to a welding spark. Remove
