CORE SERIES WELDING HELMET
OPERATING MANUAL
1. Safety
Please read and understand all instructions before using.
• Be sure that the dark shade of the lens in the welding helmet is on the correct shade
number for your application.
• The helmet and lenses are not suitable for “overhead” welding application, laser welding,
or laser cutting applications.
• Welding helmets are designed to protect the eyes and face from sparks, spatter, and
harmful radiation under normal welding conditions.
• This helmet will not protect against explosive devices or corrosive liquids. Machine guards
or eye splash protection must be used when these hazards are present.
• Impact resistant, primary eye protection, spectacles or goggles that meet current ANSI
specifications, must be worn at all times when using this welding helmet.
• Avoid work positions that could expose unprotected areas of the body to sparks, spatter,
direct and/or reflected radiation. Use appropriate protection if exposure cannot be avoided.
• Before each use, check that the protection plates are clean and that no dirt is covering the
sensors on the front of the lens.
• Inspect all operating parts before each use for signs of wear or damage. Any scratched,
cracked, or pitted parts should be replaced immediately.
• Do not make any modifications to either the welding lens or helmet, other than those
specified in this manual. Do not use any replacement parts other than those specified in this
manual. Unauthorised modifications and replacement parts will void the warranty and expose
the user to the risk of personal injury.
• If this lens does not darken when striking arc, stop welding immediately and check the
helmet is in Weld Mode and not Grind Mode. If the issue persists, contact your local
UNIMIG Service Department.
• Do not immerse this lens in water.
• Do not use any solvents on any lens or helmet components.
• The recommended operating temperature range for this welding lens is -5°C to 55°C. Do
not use this device beyond these temperature limits.
• Failure to follow these warnings and/or failure to follow all of the operating instructions
could result in severe personal injury.

from children (whether the battery is new or used). Battery can cause severe or fatal
injuries in 2 hours or less if it is swallowed or placed inside any part of the body.
Medical attention should be sought immediately if it is suspected the battery has been
swallowed or placed inside any part of the body.
