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.
