remove the protective film from the glass lens before use.

4. Position both the outer and inner lenses (2 & 3) in the headshield recess
before securing, by clipping in the lens retainer (4).

ASSEMBLY-PTF1

1. Install the headband (9) by passing the studs (5) through the openings in
the headband from the inside. Pass the adjustment tab over the studs and
pass the studs though the holes in the headshield. Screw the knobs onto
the studs from outside the headshield, ensuring the holes in the adjustment
tabs sit on the positioning pin (11).

2. Raise the flip-up filter lens holder and remove the protective film from the
lens before use. Position both the outer and inner lenses (2 & 3) in the flip­up lens holder and secure by clipping in the lens retainer (4).

ADJUST HEADBAND TO FIT

The headband should be adjusted both in diameter and height to fit the
wearer’s head. To do this:

1. Press the adjustment knob (8) on the back of the headband and turn the
nut either left or right to expand or contract the headband.

2. The top headband can be adjusted by bending the strap and positioning
the peg in the appropriate hole.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

GENERAL

Damaged components must be replaced immediately to avoid risk of eye
and face injuries. Periodically inspect the lenses. Cracked, pitted or
scratched lenses reduce vision and seriously reduce level of protection and
should be replaced with genuine, certified spare parts. The outer lens can be
removed for cleaning or replacement after prising out the lens retainer.

CLEANING & STORAGE

The headshield should be stored in it’s box or similar place.

Clean all lenses with a soft tissue and suitable lens cleaning fluid. Do not use
solvents. Never use tools or other sharp objects to remove material from the
lens or headshield. This may cause damage which may impair function and
invalidate the warranty.
