OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Read the ENTIRE IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION section at the beginning of this
manual including all text under subheadings therein before set up or use of this product.
Function
The Auto-Darkening Welding Helmet is designed to protect the eyes and face from sparks, splatter, and
harmful radiation under normal welding conditions. The Auto-Darkening Filter automatically changes from
a clear state to a dark state when an arc is struck, and it returns to the clear state when welding stops.
Before Welding
The Auto-Darkening Welding Helmet comes ready
for use. Prior to first use, remove the protective film
from both sides of the lens (if not already done), adjust
the position of the headband, select the correct shade
number for the welding application, and test the helmet
for proper operation as described below.
Check the Front Lens Cover to make sure that
it is clean, and that no dirt is covering the two sensors
on the front of the Filter Cartridge. Also check the
Inside Lens Cover and the Lens Retaining Frame,
and make sure that they are secured in place.
Inspect all operating parts before each use for
signs of wear or damage. Any scratched, cracked,
or pitted parts should be replaced immediately
before using again to avoid severe personal injury.

Shade Number and Grinding Mode Selection
1. Select the shade number required (see Shade
Guide Chart on the previous page) by turning
the Shade Control Knob. Be sure that the
shade number of the Welding Helmet is the
correct shade number for your application.
Note:
If a selection of shades are recommended
for your application, try the darkest setting first.
2. The shade number can be set from 9 to 13 by
turning the Shade Control Knob until the arrow
points to the desired shade number. See .
3. Remember to check with the Shade Guide
Chart on the previous page to determine the
proper shade number for your application.
Important:
Test the helmet auto-darkening filter lens
before welding. While wearing the helmet, briefly
strike an arc, keeping your face and eyes turned
slightly away, and to one side. The lens should darken
evenly when not directly facing the arc. If it does not
darken properly, do not use the Welding Helmet.
Grind Mode Setting
To change to Grinding Mode, rotate the
Shade Control Knob counterclockwise to
Grind. This turns off the shade function so
the helmet lens stays clear. Use this function
to provide protection while grinding.
CAUTION! Set the helmet to the proper
shade setting before welding again.
