9 Ensure the floor is clear from obstructions, not slippery and wear non-slip shoes.
9 Keep children and unauthorised persons away from the working area.
WARNING! The helmet will only protect the eyes and face from radiation and sparks. It will not protect against explosive devices or
corrosive liquids.

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