Quality Control
Before assembly
- Check the surface for printing quality. There should be no holes or cracks.
- Check the snap-fit joint. The snap-fit area should have a clear rectangular shape, and the cantilever protruding edge should have a triangular-shaped end. Additionally, the protruding edge should not be crack easily if force is applied.
After assembly
- Check if the connection at the snap-fit joint is firm enough. The two parts should not be easily split away.
- Check if the visor is firmly attached to the frame. Even if shaken, the visor should not come off.
- Check if the face shield comfortably fits to your head. Adjust the size of the rubber band for ideal fit.
