The black glass of the welding protective mask has come loose; there are gaps at the upper and lower edges. Can it still be used? What’s the danger?
It is not recommended to continue using an electric welding shield with loose black glass and gaps at the upper and lower edges. Because loose black glass and gaps at the edges mean that the mask cannot be fully sealed, it allows the light, sparks, and debris generated by welding to easily enter the mask, causing damage to the eyes. When in use, it may pose risks such as eye burns, electric shocks, dust, and harmful gases. To protect your safety, it is recommended to replace or repair the welding shield. .
