Maintenance
Inspect face shield prior to each use. If there is any sign of damage, such as pit marks, cracks,
scratches, or distortion, impact resistance is severely reduced and spectacles should be replaced
immediately.
Cleaning: Wash with mild detergent and warm water. Rinse clean and remove excess water by
patting with soft tissue or cloth. DO NOT use ammonia, alkaline cleaners, solvents, or abrasive
cleaning compounds, which may reduce impact resistance.
Suffocation hazard. Keep packaging away from infants and small children. This is not a toy. If

lead to serious injury or suffocation.
