Before first Use
Unpack the auto darkening helmet and dispose off packaging material. Plastic
bags etc. may become a deadly toy for small children.
The auto darkening welding helmet is delivered ready for use. The only thing
you need to do before welding is to adjust the position of the headband and to
select the correct shade number for your application. Peel out the protective
foils from the inside and front cover lenses (3 and 11).
Shade Guide Table
The auto darkening helmet is equipped with 2 degrees of brightness and
shade levels from 9 to 13. The shade level has to be adjusted manually.
Choose from the shade guide table the required shade level and turn the
shade knob until the arrow points to the desired value.
According to your perception it is possible to use the next higher or lower
shade number.
