ADJUSTING THE HELMET
WARNING.
Before using the helmet for
welding ensure you have read and
understood the safety instructions. The
helmet comes ready assembled but
before it can be used it must be adjusted
to fit the user properly.
ADJUSTING THE FIT OF THE HELMET
The overall circumference of the headband can be
made larger or smaller by pushing in and rotating
the knob on the back of the headband (See
adjustment ‘A’ in Fig.1). This can be done whilst
wearing the helmet and allows just the right tension
to be set to keep the helmet firmly on the head
without it being too tight.
If the headband is riding too high or too low on your
head adjust the strap which passes over the top of
your head. To do this release the end of the band
by pushing the locking pip out of the hole in the
band. Slide the two portions of the band to a
greater or lesser width as required and push the
locking pip through the nearest hole (See
adjustment ‘B’ in Fig.1).
Test the fit of the headband by lifting up and closing
down the helmet a few times whilst wearing it. If the
headband moves whilst tilting re-adjust it until it is
stable.
ADJUSTING THE HELMET TILT
If the cartridge window is not aligned with the eyes
when the helmet is in the lowered position adjust
the tilt of the helmet in relation to the headband.
Referring to Fig.2 loosen the knob ‘C’ adjacent to
the tilt plate ‘D’. Lift the tilt lever ‘E’ off tilt pip ‘D’ and
rotate it to the required position. Please note there
are 5 tilt pip postions. Retighten the clamp knob ‘C’.
