EYE INJURY HAZARD!
•
Inadequate levels of arc ray shading can cause permanent eye injury. This helmet
is capable of protection up to shade level 12 only. If your particular welding process
emits arc radiation at levels higher than 12, DO NOT use this helmet and seek
alternate protection.
•
Do not use this helmet for oxy-acetylene welding or cutting processes, laser welding
or low amperage (less than 10 amps) TIG welding.
Consult the
SHADE GUIDE TABLE
below to verify that this helmet provides adequate protection for
your particular welding process before using. If unsure of shade level required, use the following
procedure to fi nd the correct shade level:
• Set Shade Level to 12.
• Strike a momentary arc while viewing through helmet.
• Incrementally reduce shade level while checking with an arc until arc is visible.
This is the correct setting.
