Your package should contain the following item:

• 1 x GREEN DEVIL Replacement Polycarbonate Face Shield with integrated bracket.

Note: Hard hat and earmuffs are not included and must be purchased separately.

4. Setup and Installation

This face shield is designed for easy attachment to GREEN DEVIL Matrix FB Series Hard Hats. Follow these steps for proper installation:

1. Prepare the Hard Hat: Ensure your Matrix FB Series Hard Hat is clean and free of debris. Locate the fitting slots on the sides of the hard hat.
2. Align the Face Shield: Take the face shield and align the panel insert vertically with the fitting slot on one side of the hard hat.
3. Insert and Secure: Gently push the panel insert into the slot until it clicks securely into place. Repeat this process for the other side, ensuring both sides are fully engaged.
4. Verify Installation: Once both sides are installed, check that the face shield is firmly attached and does not wobble. The special buckle design ensures a secure fit without needing additional accessories.
5. Adjust Visor Position: The visor can be raised and lowered. Turn the black knobs on the sides of the bracket to lock the visor into your desired position. Ensure it can be raised and lowered freely when unlocked, and securely held when locked.

For a smooth setup, it is recommended to review the assembly steps carefully.

5. Operating Instructions

Once installed, the GREEN DEVIL Face Shield is ready for use. Its design allows for easy adjustment during operation.

• Lowering the Visor: To protect your face, simply flip the visor down. Ensure it covers your entire face for full 180-degree protection.
• Raising the Visor: When not actively requiring face protection, the visor can be flipped up and secured in an elevated position. This allows for clear, unobstructed vision without removing the hard hat.
• Locking Mechanism: The black knobs on the side brackets allow you to adjust the tension and lock the visor in a specific position (up or down). Turn the knobs to tighten or loosen the mechanism as needed.

6. Maintenance

Proper maintenance will extend the life of your GREEN DEVIL Face Shield and ensure continued protection.

• Cleaning: Clean the polycarbonate visor with a soft cloth, mild soap, and lukewarm water. Rinse thoroughly and air dry or gently wipe with a clean, soft cloth. Do not use abrasive materials, paper towels, or chemical cleaners (e.g., ammonia-based window cleaners) as these can scratch or damage the visor.
• Inspection: Regularly inspect the visor and bracket for scratches, cracks, discoloration, or any signs of degradation. Heavy scratches can impair vision and reduce impact resistance.
• Replacement: Replace the face shield immediately if it shows signs of damage, significant wear, or if its clarity is compromised.
• Storage: Store the face shield in a protective environment, ideally in its original packaging or a dedicated storage area, to prevent scratches and exposure to harsh conditions.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your GREEN DEVIL Face Shield, consider the following:

• Visor is not clear: Ensure the protective film has been removed from both sides of the visor (refer to Section 2.1).
• Face shield feels loose on hard hat: Verify that both panel inserts are fully engaged in the hard hat slots. Check for any damage to the bracket or hard hat slots.
• Visor does not stay in position: Tighten the black locking knobs on both sides of the bracket. If the issue persists, inspect the locking mechanism for wear or damage.
