2. Safety Information
It is crucial to read and understand all safety instructions before using this product. Failure to do so may result in serious injury.
2.1 General Safety Guidelines
- This face shield meets ANSI Z87.1 and CSA Z94.3 standards, indicating compliance with specific safety requirements for eye and face protection.
- Always inspect the face shield for damage before each use. Do not use if cracked, scratched, or otherwise compromised.
- This face shield is intended for protection against light impact, splashes, and debris. It is not designed for protection against severe impact hazards, high-speed projectiles, or molten metal.
- Always wear appropriate primary eye protection (safety glasses or goggles) underneath the face shield. The face shield alone does not provide adequate primary eye protection.
- Ensure the face shield is properly adjusted and securely fitted to your head to prevent slippage during use.
- Clean the face shield regularly according to the maintenance instructions to maintain optical clarity.
- Replace the face shield window if it becomes scratched, pitted, or otherwise impairs vision.
2.2 Important Warning Regarding Protective Film
The replacement window comes with a protective film on both sides. This film must be removed before use to ensure clear vision and proper functionality.

3. Components
The Jackson Safety MAXVIEW Face Shield system consists of the following primary components:
- MAXVIEW Premium Face Shield Headgear: The main frame that secures the face shield to the user's head, featuring the 370 Speed Dial ratcheting adjustment system and a rear swivel headband.
- Uncoated Face Shield Window: The clear, protective visor that attaches to the headgear, providing optical clarity and protection. This model includes integrated side and chin guards.
- Replacement Window (Model 14214): An additional clear, uncoated visor for future replacement.

4.1 Attaching the Face Shield Window
- Ensure the headgear is clean and free of debris.

- Securely fasten the window to the headgear. Refer to the headgear's specific instructions for detailed attachment methods, which typically involve snaps or clips.

6. Maintenance and Care
Proper maintenance extends the life of your face shield and ensures continued protection.
6.1 Cleaning Instructions
- Clean the face shield window with mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the material and optical clarity.
- Use a soft, clean cloth to gently wipe the window dry. Do not use paper towels or rough materials, which can scratch the surface.
- The headgear can be wiped clean with a damp cloth and mild soap.
6.2 Storage
- Store the face shield in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and corrosive chemicals.
- Avoid placing heavy objects on the face shield to prevent deformation or damage.
6.3 Replacement
- Replace the face shield window immediately if it becomes deeply scratched, pitted, cracked, or if visibility is impaired.
- Inspect the headgear for signs of wear, cracks, or damage. Replace the entire unit if the headgear is compromised, as it may affect the shield's ability to stay securely in place.
