Maintenance, lifetime, storage and warranty
Helmet and headgear can be cleaned with a mild detergent and wa-
ter. You are not supposed to use any type of solvent since they could
affect the resistance of helmet and headgear.
To disinfect use a common disinfectant and a towel. Make sure
cleaning liquids are applied to the towel, not directly to the welding
helmet.
Sweatband should be washed or replaced at appropriate intervals
for sanitary reasons. Hand wash at max. 50ºC with a mild detergent
and rinse thoroughly. Do not machine dry.
Filter and protection plates should be cleaned with a non-abrasive
cloth or microber cloth.
In order to offer maximum protection both for the lter and the user,
the protection plate should be checked regularly.
Being exposed to splatters, heat and fumes, it should be replaced as
soon as visual defects can be noticed (deformation, scratches).
If you use an inside protection plate this should be replaced as well
if it is dirty or scratched.
Obstructed vision will stress the user and can cause eye fatigue and
headaches.
Due to the selection of materials used for the manufacturing of the
helmet and its components, there is no limitation in the time of usa-
ge. If handled properly, only protection plates and sweatband will
need regular replacement.
The welding helmet XELUX enduro should be stored at temperatures
from -10°C to 40°C+ and at a relative humidity below 80 %. Avoid
moisture and sunlight. Storage in conjunction with acids, alkalis, oils
and organic solvents is dangerous.
Manufacturer warranty for material and manufacturing errors is 36
months. Damages that result from physical abuse of the product are
not covered by the warranty. Warranty only applies for the descri-
bed use case and only for unmodied products. Besides warranty
claims, no other damages will be covered.
