Translation of the original instructions
The operating temperatures of the optoelectronic filter are
from -5°C to +55°C.
The opto-electronic filter in the mask is not waterproof and
will not function properly if it has been in contact with water.
The welding mask must be moved carefully to avoid damage
to the filter, guards and/or protective shell.
Maintenance :
- Do not place heavy objects or tools on or in the facepiece
to avoid damage to the filter or face shields.
Mask storage temperatures range from -10°C to +60°C.

The length of use depends on various factors such as type
of use, cleaning, storage and maintenance.
