► PRECAUTIONS
• Never place the helmet or the autodarkening welding filter on hot surface.
• Scratched or damaged protection lens should be regularly replaced by original
MIGATRONIC ones. Before using the new protection lens, make sure to remove any
additional protection foil from both sides.
• Only use MigADCplus within the temperature range of -5°C to +55°C.
• Do not expose the autodarkening welding filter to liquids and protect it from dirt.
• Use only original MIGATRONIC spare parts. In case of doubt, please contact your
MIGATRONIC authorise dealer.
• Failure to follow these instructions will invalidate the warranty. MIGATRONIC does not accept
responsibility for any problems which may arise from applications other than welding, or if the
instructions for use are not strictly followed. The MigADCplus welding helmet is manufactured
to protect the welder’s face against spatters and hazardous ultraviolet and infrared rays
emitted during the welding process. It is not intended to be used as a protection against
impact, flying particles, molten metals, corrosive liquids or hazardous gases.
• Do not use for overhead welding where there is a falling molten metal hazard. This
welding helmet/filter system does not provide protection from molten metal and spatter
during direct overhead welding.
• Materials which may come into contact with the wearer’s skin could cause allergic
reactions to susceptible individuals.
• Welding helmets worn over standard ophthalmic spectacles may transmit impact, thus
create a hazard to the wearer.
• If the helmet and the protection lens both do not carry the B marking, then only the S
marking is valid.
• Eye protector shall only be used against high speed particles at room temperature.
• A distance of at least 50cm, and never less than 25cm, between the welding arc and
the welder eyes is recommended for all welding applications.
• We recommend you to use the welding helmet for a period of 10 years. The duration of
use depends on various factors such as way of use, cleaning, storage and maintenance.
Frequent inspections and replacement in case of damage are recommended.
► BEFORE WELDING
• Ensure that the helmet is correctly assembled and that it completely blocks any
accidental light. In the front, light may enter the helmet only through the viewing area
of the autodarkening welding filter.
• Adjust the headgear to ensure maximum comfort and to provide the largest field of vision.
• Select a suitable welding filter for the shield. Dimensions of the filter: 110x110mm.
• Check the prescribed shade level for your welding application and adjust your
autodarkening filter accordingly (see the table with recommended shade levels).
► STORAGE
When not in use the filter should be stored in a dry place within the temperature range
of -20°C to +65°C. Prolonged exposure to temperatures above 45°C may decrease the
battery lifetime of the autodarkening welding filter. It is recommended to keep the solar
cells of the autodarkening welding filter in the dark or not exposed to light during storage
in order to maintain power down mode. This can be achieved by simply placing the filter
face down on the storage shelf.
►
MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
It is always necessary to keep the solar cells and the light sensors of the autodarkening
welding filter free of dust and spatters: cleaning can be done with a soft tissue or a cloth
soaked in mild detergent (or alcohol). Never use aggressive solvents such as acetone.
MIGATRONIC filters should always be protected from both sides by protection lens
(polycarbonate or CR39), which should also be only cleaned with a soft tissue or cloth.
If the protection lens are in any way damaged, they must be immediately replaced.
For your protection and maximum efficiency, please read this informa-
tion carefully before use.
