LIMITATIONS OF USE
Only use with original 3M™ brand Spare Parts and
Accessories listed in these user instructions and
within the usage conditions given in the Technical

Should the Welding Helmet 10V fail to switch to the dark
state in response to an arc, stop welding immediately
and inspect the welding filter as described in these
instructions. Continued use of a welding filter that fails to
switch to the dark state may cause temporary vision loss.
If the problem cannot be identified and corrected, do not
use the welding filter, contact your supervisor, distributor
or 3M for assistance.
