3M Personal Safety Division
Limitations of Use
• Only use with original 3M branded spare parts and accessories listed in the user instructions and within the usage
conditions given in the technical specifications.
• The use of substitute components, decals, paint or other modifications not specified in these user instructions might
seriously impair protection and may invalidate claims under the warranty or cause the product to be noncompliant with
protection classifications and approvals.
• Eye protectors worn over standard ophthalmic spectacles may transmit impacts thus creating a hazard to the wearer.
• Use of this product in applications outside its intended use, such as laser welding/cutting, may result in permanent eye
injury and vision loss.
• Severe burn injuries may result if these welding helmets are used for heavy-duty overhead welding applications where there
is a potential for falling molten metal.
• Should the product fail to switch to the dark state in response to an arc, stop welding immediately and inspect the welding
filter as described in the 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.
• Materials which may come into contact with the wearer’s skin are not known to cause allergic reactions to the majority of
individuals. These products do not contain components made from natural rubber latex.
• Flashing light sources (i.e. flash tube strobe lights, safety warning lights, etc.) can trigger the welding filter causing it to flash
even when no welding is occurring. This is inherent with all auto-darkening filter technology. This interference can occur
from long distances and/or from reflected light.
• Welding areas must be shielded from such interference, or replace lights with an LED strobe light.
