To Optimise the effective lifetime of your 

welding equipment and avoid the additional 

cost of replacement, regular maintenance 

is important. Replace all damaged parts 

immediately to help ensure intended degree 

of protection.

Below follows a general overview. For detailed instructions 

and guidance, always follow the user instruction.

Before use

Check the system for damage and 

replace parts if necessary.

1. 

Helmet and headband.

 Inspect for 

cracks or any damaged parts. Replace if 

needed.
2. 

Welding filter.

 Check that the sensors 

are clean. Replace the battery if the 

low battery indicator flashes or if the 

indicators do not flash when the buttons 

are pressed. 
3. 

Protection plates.

 Ensure that your 

welding filter is equipped with an outer 

and inner protection plate. To help provide 

the best possible vision, they should be 

clean and without scratches. 
4. 

Magnification.

 If you can’t see the 

detail you need, try one of our magnifying 

lenses, available in x1.0, x1.5, x2.0, x2.5 

and x3.0 strengths. 
5. 

Respiratory helmets: face seal. 

If 

the face seal is damaged, there is a risk 

that contaminated air will get inside the 

helmet. Verify it’s in place and free from 

splits and tears.
6. 

Respiratory helmets: breathing tube. 

Confirm that the tube is undamaged and 

not leaking any air. To extend the life of 

the breathing tube, use a tube cover or a 

heavy-duty breathing tube

After use

1. 

Clean the helmet. 

Wipe with a moist 

tissue or cloth, both inside and outside the 

helmet. If you suspect that the inside of the 

breathing tube is dirty, it must be changed. 

DO NOT rinse, immerse in water, or clean 

with solvents.
2. 

Face seal and sweatband.

 Remove for 

additional cleaning as needed and replace 

if they have splits or tears or whenever they 

become unhygienic.
3. 

Protection plates and visor plate.

 Clean 

with a soft cloth and replace if any pits or 

scratches occur.
4. 

Breathing tube. 

Replace if damaged, 

deformed or leaking any air.
5. 

Storage. 

Store the helmet in a dry, 

clean area away from direct sunlight, high 

temperatures and solvents. Ideally use the 

bag that comes with the helmet or similar.

 What is listed above are basic needs. For detailed instructions and guidance, always follow the user instruction.
