How to use: Put on the welding jacket just like you would a regular jacket. Fasten the snap fronts and adjust the waist straps for a snug fit. You can use the zippered inside pocket to store small items like your phone or keys. Note: This jacket is for welding use. Avoid wearing it in other high - risk environments not related to welding. When using, make sure the jacket is fully fastened to protect your body. Maintenance: After each use, shake off any debris. You can machine - wash the jacket in cold water on a gentle cycle. Hang it to dry. Don't use bleach or fabric softeners as they may affect the FR treatment.
