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 usage.

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 continues to offer 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, ALWAYS wear this respirator.

2. Read and understand the Material Safety Data Sheets and the

manufacturer's instructions for metals, consumables, coatings, cleaners,

and degreasers.

3. Only work in a confined space 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.
