ASSEMBLY & OPERATION
The helmet comes ready assembled but before it can be used
it must be adjusted to fit the user properly and set up for
delay time,sensitivity and shade level.
ADJUSTING THE FIT OF THE HELMET
• The overall circumference of the headband can be made larger
or smaller by rotating the knob on the back of the headband.
(See adjustment "Y" 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 "W" in fig.1)
• Test the fit of the headband by lifting up and closing down the
helmet a few times while wearing it. If the headband moves while
tilting re-adjust it until it is stable.
ADJUSTING DISTANCE BETWEEN HELMET & FACE
• Step 1: Undo the block nut (See "T" in fig.1) to adjust the
distance between the helmet and your face in the
down position.
• Step 2: loosen the block nut on either side of the helmet and
slide it nearer to or further from your face.
(See adjustment "Z" in fig.1) It is important that your eyes
are each the same distance from the lens otherwise the
darkening effect may appear uneven.
• Step 3: Re-tighten the block nut when adjustment is complete.
ADJUSTING ANGLE OF THE MASK IN THE DOWN POSITION
• If the lens is not properly aligned with the eyes in the down
position the mask angle can be further adjusted into one of three
preset positions using the tilt plate shown in fig.2. Behind each
pivot knob on the sides of the helmet there is a screw which
passes through the side of the mask and into one of the holes in
the tilt plate ( see A,B,C in fig.2 ).
• Partially undo each screw counterclockwise so that it withdraws
out of the tilt plate but remains in the side of the mask. Rotate the
assembly so that one of the alternative positions is aligned with
the end of the screw. Turn the screws clockwise again so that
they pass through the holes thus fixing the position of the tilt
plate.
SELECTING SHADE LEVEL
• Select the shade level you require according to the welding
process you will use by referring to the "Shade Guide Table"
below for settings. Turn the shade control knob on the side of the
helmet to the shade number required.
SELECTING DELAY TIME
• When welding ceases the viewing window automatically
changes from dark back to light but with a pre-set delay to
compensate for any bright afterglow on the workpiece. The delay
time/response can be set to "short" to "long" as you require
using the dial knob on the back of the shade cartridge. (See fig.3)
SENSITIVITY
• The sensitivity can be set from "high" to "low" using the dial
knob on the back of the shade cartridge. The"low" setting is the
normal setting for everyday use.
• Where the operation of the mask is disturbed by excess
ambient light or another welding machine close by, use the "low"
setting. (See fig.3).
• Please adjust the sensitivity to the lowest level when you are
not working.
You are now ready to use the helmet, The shading may be
adjusted during use by re-setting potentiometer control.

Auto-Darkening Welding Helmets are designed to protect the eye and
face from sparks, spatter, and harmful radiation under normal welding
conditions. Auto-darkening filter automatically changes from a light
state to a dark state when an arc is struck, and it returns to the light
state when welding stops.
Auto-Darkening Welding Helmets comes ready for use. The only thing
you need to do before your welding is to adjust the position of the
headband and select the correct shade number for your application.
