INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
WARNING! Before using the helmet for welding,
ensure that you have read and understood
the safety instructions.
RANGE OF APPLICATION
WARNING! Before using the helmet for welding, ensure that
you have read and understood the safety instructions.
Böhler Welding helmets and welding filters can be used for most arc
welding applications and for GTAW / TIG where stated. The welding
filters provide protection against harmful UV- and IR-radiation ac-
cording to the requirement for shade number marked on each
passive of automatic (ADF) model; eye protection remains as long
as the flip up is in the down position covering the vision.
The following chart is presented as a reference for the selection of
the most suitable shade for the welding filter: (p.4)
Depending upon the application conditions, the next highest or next
lowest protection level can be used.
The darker fields indicate those areas in where the corresponding
welding process cannot be used.
Böhler Welding helmets are suitable for, but not limited to the following
applications:
ʷ
AC/DC pulses
ʷ
Inverters WIG/TIG
ʷ
Stick welding
ʷ
Argon/Helium
ʷ
MIG/MAG protective gas electrodes
SAFETY WARNINGS - READ BEFORE USING
WARNING
Read & Understand All Instructions Before Using
Auto-Darkening welding helmets are designed to protect the eye
and face from sparks, spatter and harmful radiation under normal
welding conditions. The Auto-Darkening filter works automatically.
It changes from light to dark state when the welding arc is struck, and
it returns to the light state when welding stops.
WARNING
The Auto-Darkening welding helmet comes assembled. However
before it can be used, it must be adjusted to your personal preferen-
ces. Set it up for delay time, sensitivity and shade number for your
application.
The helmet should be stored in a dry, cool and dark area and remem-
ber to remove the battery before long-time storage.
ʷ
This Auto-Darkening welding helmet is not suitable for laser
welding.
ʷ
Never place the helmet and Auto-Darkening filter on a hot surface.
ʷ
Never open or tamper with the Auto-Darkening filter.
ʷ
This Auto-Darkening welding helmet will not protect against se-
vere impact hazards.
ʷ
This helmet will not protect against explosive devices or corrosi-
ve liquids.
ʷ
Do not make any modifications to either the filter or helmet,
unless specified in this manual.
ʷ
Do not use replacement parts other than those specified in this
manual. Unauthorized modifications and replacement parts will
void the warranty and expose the operator to the risk of personal
injury.
ʷ
Should this helmet not darken upon striking an arc, stop welding
immediately and contact your supervisor or your dealer.
ʷ
Do not immerse the filter in water.
ʷ
Do not use any solvents on the filter screen or helmet components.
ʷ
Use only at temperatures: - 5 °C ~ +55 °C (23 °F ~ 131 °F).
ʷ
Storing temperature: -20 °C ~ +70 °C (- 4 °F ~ 158 °F). The helmet
should be stored in a dry cool and dark area, when not using it
for a long time.
ʷ
Protect the filter from contact with liquid and dirt.
ʷ
Clean the filter surface regularly; do not use strong cleaning
solutions. Always keep the sensors and solar cells clean using a
clean lint-free tissue.
ʷ
Regularly replace the cracked / scratched / pitted front cover
lens.
ʷ
The materials which may come into contact with the wearer’s skin
can cause allergic reactions in some circumstances.
ʷ
The ADF shall only be used in conjunction with the inner cover
lens.
ʷ
Eye-protectors against high speed particles worn over standard
ophthalmic spectacles may transmit impacts, thus creating a
hazard to the wearer.
ʷ
Toughened mineral filter oculars shall only be used in conjunction
with a suitable backing ocular.
ʷ
If the symbols F or B are not common to both the ocular and the
frame, then it is the lower level which shall be assigned to the
complete eye-protection.
Information manual for the Böhler Welding protective helmets com-
ply with Para 1.4 of Appendix II of the EC Regulations.
Böhler Welding helmets offers permanent protection against UV/IR
rays, also face and eye protection against sparks caused by the
welding process.
Do not look directly into the welding arc with unprotected eyes when
the arc strikes. This can cause painful inflammation of the cornea
and irreparable damage to the lens of the eye leading to cataracts.
