WARNING
• Do not use any welding product without appropriate training.
• These products do not provide any protection from respiratory hazards that may result from
welding processes.
• Arc welding can be hazardous. Protect yourself and others from possible serious injury or death.
Keep children away. Read operating / instruction manual before installing, operating or servicing
this product.
• Never use the auto-darkening lens without the inside and outside lens cover properly installed.
Welding spatter will damage the auto-darkening lens and void the warranty.
Welding helmets do not provide unlimited eye, ear and face protection. Always wear ANSI
Z87.1-2003 compliant safety spectacles in addition to any welding helmet.
Inspect the auto-lens frequently. Immediately replace any scratched, cracked, or pitted cover
lenses or auto-lenses.
Severe burn injuries may result if these welding helmets are used for heavy-duty overhead
welding applications where there is a potential for falling molten metal.
Do not attempt to use this welding helmet if there are any cracks, or visible damage to the structure of
the helmet and/or auto-darkening filter.
Before First Use
Inspect the welding helmet for the following:
1. The front and inside cover lenses are secure under all the tabs.
2. Damage to the inner and outer cover lenses (e.g.; cracks, scratches, pitted, welding spatter).
3. Test your shade cartridge prior to welding by directing the front of the cartridge toward a bright
source of light. Then, using your fingers, rapidly cover and uncover the sensors. The cartridge
should darken momentarily as the sensor is exposed. A torch striker can also be used.
The welding helmet should be adjusted to ensure it is positioned over the eyes and face to ensure
adequate protection.
Adjust Headgear for Proper Fit
1. Headgear tightness – Push down and rotate the knob located on the back of the headgear left or
right.
2. Distance from helmet to face adjustment - Loosen the tension knob on both sides and slide forward
or back to desired position ensuring equal distance on both sides of the headgear.
Note! Make
sure both sides are equally positioned for proper operation.
3. Head size adjustment - Adjust headgear for proper depth on the head for correct stability and
balance.
4. View angle adjustment - Loosen the tension knob on the right side of the helmet, lift and reposition
the lever forward or backward to the desired position.
