reduce the risk of personal injury and damage to equipment.

The warnings, cautions, and instructions discussed in this instruction manual cannot cover all possible

Read all instructions before using this helmet! 

WARNING

INHALATION HAZARD: 

Welding and Plasma Cutting Produce 

TOXIC FUMES.

Exposure to welding or cutting exhaust 

fumes can increase the risk of developing 

certain cancers, such as cancer of the 

larynx and lung cancer.  Also, some 

diseases that may be linked to exposure 

to welding or plasma cutting exhaust 

fumes are:
• Early onset of Parkinson’s Disease

• Heart disease 

• Ulcers

• Damage to the reproductive organs

• Inflammation of the small intestine or 

stomach 

• Kidney damage

• Respiratory diseases such as 

emphysema, bronchitis, or pneumonia

Use natural or forced air ventilation and 

wear a respirator approved by NIOSH to 

protect against the fumes produced to 

reduce the risk of developing the above 

illnesses.

1. 

Do not use the Welding Helmet if the lens is 

cracked, if the lens or sensors are dirty, or if 

the lens or front retaining frame is loose.

2. 

Keep work area clean.

 Cluttered 

areas invite injuries.

3. 

Observe work area conditions.

 Do not use 

welding helmets in damp or wet locations. 

Do not expose to rain. Keep work area well 

lit. Do not use auto-darkening helmets in the 

presence of flammable gases or liquids.

4. 

Keep children away.

 Children must never be allowed 

in the work area. Do not let them handle this helmet.  

5. 

Store idle equipment.

 When not in use, helmets 

must be stored in a dry location to inhibit rust. Always 

lock up helmets and keep out of reach of children.

6. 

Dress properly.

 Do not wear loose clothing or 

jewelry as they can be caught in moving parts. 

Protective gear is essential to protect against welding 

rays, some examples are: a leather welding apron, 

welding sleeves, jeans without cuffs, work boots. 

Wear restrictive hair covering to contain long hair.

7. 

Use eye and ear protection.

 When welding, 

wear ANSI-approved impact safety goggles under 

the Welding Helmet. Wear a NIOSH-approved 

respirator and hearing protection when welding.

8. 

Stay alert.

 Watch what you are doing, use 

common sense. Do not weld when you are tired.

9. 

Check for damaged parts.

 Before using any 

helmet, any part that appears damaged should be 

carefully checked to determine that it will operate 

properly and perform its intended function. Check 

for alignment and binding of moving parts; any 

broken parts or mounting fixtures; and any other 

condition that may affect proper operation. Any part 

that is damaged should be properly repaired or 

replaced by a qualified technician. Do not use the 

helmet if any switch does not operate properly.

10. 

Replacement parts and accessories.

 When 

servicing, use only identical replacement parts. Use 

of any other parts can render helmet ineffective, 

possibly causing eye damage, and will void 

the warranty. Only use accessories intended 

for use with this helmet. Approved accessories 

are available from Harbor Freight Tools.

11. 

Do not weld if under the influence of alcohol 

or drugs. 

Read warning labels on prescriptions to 

determine if your judgment or reflexes are impaired 

while taking drugs. If there is any doubt, do not weld.

12. 

Maintenance.

 For your safety, service 

and maintenance should be performed 

regularly only by a qualified technician.
