Safety instructions
Before using the helmet, please read the user instructions. Check that the front cover
lens has been correctly fi tted. You must not continue welding if the welding fi lter is
non-functional.
Precautionary measures & safety restrictions
Heat and radiation released during arc-welding can cause eye injuries and skin
burns. This product provides protection for the eyes and face. Your eyes are always
protected against ultraviolet and infrared radiation when you wear this helmet
regardless of the shade level. Wear appropriate protective clothing in order to protect
the rest of your body.
People with a disposition to have an allergic reaction of the skin should be aware
that particles and substances produced during the welding process may cause these
allergic reactions. The welding helmet is only suitable for welding and not for any
other application. SPERIAN Welding Protection AG assumes no liability when the
helmet is used for other than the intended purpose or when the user instructions
are disregarded.
The helmet is suitable for all established welding procedures, with the exception for
oxy-gas welding and laser welding.
Important!
This cartridge Is equipped with a rechargeable battery. If stored for long periods,
the auto-darkening fi lter may not darken. If this happens, expose the solar cells
to normal room light or daylight for 5 to 10 min. This should restore the cartridge
to full operation.
After longer storage time it is possible that the cartridge is unloaded and that it will
not be suffi cient to charge the batteries during the 5 to 10 minutes, as indicated
above. Under these circumstances it will be necessary, to expose the cartridge to a
light of approx. 2000 luxes (= electric light bulb of 60 - 75 watts in a maximal distance
of 40 cm) during about 2 hours. While loading, please cover the middle part of the
welding arc detection sensor, with black adhesive tape (8) or similar, however, the
solar cells are to be released.
If, after this procedure, the cartridge does not work properly, the cartridge must be
judged faulty.
Warranty & liability
Please take the warranty conditions from the directives of the national SPERIAN
Welding Protection AG sales organisation. Please contact your SPERIAN Welding
Protection AG dealer for further information in this connection.
Warranties are granted for material and manufacturing defects only. In the case
of damage caused by improper use, unauthorised interventions or the use of the
helmet for a purpose other than that intended by the manufacturer, the warranty and
liability are no longer valid. Likewise, liability and the warranty are no longer valid if
spare parts other than those sold by SPERIAN Protection are used.
Use
1. Head band. Adjust upper band (1) to your head size. Depress ratchet knob (2)
and turn until the head band sits fi rmly yet comfortably.
2. Eye distance and inclination. The distance between the welding fi lter and the
eyes can be optimally adjusted by loosening the locking knobs (3). The setting
should be identical on both sides to exclude tilting. After this adjustment,
retighten the locking knobs.
The helmet inclination can be adjusted via knob (4).
3. Shade level = DIN 3 In light state and DIN 11 In dark state.
Cleaning
The welding fi lter and the front cover lens must be cleaned with a soft cloth at regular
intervals. Do not use strong cleaning agents, solvents or alcohol.
Storage
The welding helmet must be stored at room temperature and low humidity.
Installing/removing welding fi lter
1. Side clips press in and therefore unlock adapter (5)
2. Tilt adapter out of place (6)
3. Steel spring and cartridge laterally disassembly (7)
The installation of the welding fi lter is carried out in the reverse order.
Changing the front cover lens
See step 1-3: Installing/removing welding fi lter.
