SECTION 1- SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

USING THE HEADSHIELD

1. This headshield is not suitable for laser welding, laser cutting or overhead welding

applications or for oxy-acetylene.

2. The lens in this headshield is breakable and will not protect against impact

hazards.

3. This headshield is designed for use in grinding, arc welding or cutting applications

such as MIG/MAG, TIG, MMA, Plasma Arc and Carbon Arc.

4. Use this headshield for face and eye protection against harmful rays, sparks and

spatter from welding and cutting.

5. NEVER place this product on a hot surface.

6. In the event of failure, the headshield remains protection against UV and IR

radiation.

7. DO NOT make any modifications to this product. Protection can be seriously

impaired if modifications are made.

8. When necessary, use identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety

of the product is maintained.

9. DO NOT use if any part of the headshield is cracked or broken.

10. DO NOT use this headshield for welding outside the range of DIN 9-13. Harm to

the eyes and impaired eyesight may result. ALWAYS select the correct setting

before use.

USING THE RESPIRATOR

1. If ventilation is poor, wear your approved air-supplied respirator.

2. Read and understand the Material Safety Data Sheets and the manufacturer's

instructions for metals, consumables, coatings, cleaners, and degreasers.

3. Work in confined space only if it is well ventilated or while wearing the air-

supplied respirator.

4. ALWAYS have a trained watch-person nearby. Welding fumes and gases can

displace air and lower the oxygen level causing injury or death. Be sure the

breathing air is safe.

5. DO NOT weld in locations near degreasing, cleaning, or spraying activities. The

heat and rays of the arc can react with vapours to form highly toxic and irritating

gases.
