Before First Use
1)
The Auto-Darkening Welding Helmet needs to be charged prior to use and after
extended storage. Leave the solar panel on the helmet facing the sun or bulb light
for at least 1 hours before first use.
2)
Remove the protective shipping film from both sides of the front lens (if not
already done).
3)
The helmet comes assembled, but before it can be used, the headgear must be
adjusted for proper fit as well as delay time, sensitivity and shade level.
ADJUSTING THE HELMET FIT
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 “Y” in Fig.1).
This can be done while 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 pin 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 pin 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 THE DISTANCE BETWEEN THE HELMET AND THE 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 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 satisfactory.
WARNING! Before using the helmet for welding, ensure that you have read and understood the safety instructions.
