PREPARATION

ADJUSTING THE HEADBAND TO FIT

1. The headband should be

adjusted both in diameter and

height to fit the wearer’s head. To

do this, press in and turn the

adjustment knob on the back of

the headband either left or right

to expand or contract the

headband.

2. The top headbands can be

adjusted by bending the strap

and positioning the pegs in the

appropriate hole in each headband.

3. The working position of the headshield and its raised position can be pre-

set.

4. Loosen the adjusting nuts until you

can lift the adjusting tab and

position it on the pins on the

backing plate to set the

headband range of movement.

Tighten the adjusting nut when

satisfied.

• You can remove the

headband completely from

the headshield by unscrewing

the side knobs.

USING THE HEADSHIELD

1. The lens will be set to Light DIN 4 state, & you will be able to see the

workpiece. The lens will automatically darken when an arc is struck.

2. Test the lens by striking an arc on the workpiece for the first time. Check

also that the outer screen and lens are clean and clear at all times.

3. Change the shade setting as required using the shade adjustment knob as

described on page 5. Refer to the table on page 7.

SELECTING WELD OR GRIND SETTING

The headshield has a ‘GRIND’ setting,

on the outside selector knob. When

set to ‘GRIND’ the auto darkening

function is disabled.

The headshield then provides eye

and face protection for sparks and

airborne particles created during

grinding operations.

DELAY TIME ADJUSTMENT

The delay time is the time taken to

switch back from fully dark to fully

light and is selected using the knob in

the centre of the headshield.

1. Set the minimum (0.1-0.25 sec)

when spot welding, or doing short

or seam welding work.

2. Set the delay to medium for most

welding operations.

3. Set the maximum (0.85-1.0 sec)

when doing high current welding.

SENSITIVITY

The sensitivity can be adjusted using the knob on the left hand side of the

headshield according to the type of welding and the background light. The

mid range selection is suitable for most indoor and outdoor welding.

1. Select maximum for low current welding or when working in low light

conditions, especially when welding argon arc with a low current.

2. Select minimum for high current welding or working in a brightly lit

environment.

WARNING: IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT AFTER USING THE HEADSHIELD IN

GRINDING MODE, IT SHOULD BE RETURNED TO THE WELD SETTING BEFORE

WELDING. FAILURE TO DO THIS COULD LEAD TO EYE INJURY. MAKE A

HABIT OF RETURNING THE SWITCH TO THE WELD SETTING.

SELECT THE SHADE SETTING

WARNING: DO NOT USE FOR WELDING OUTSIDE THE RANGE OF DIN 9-13. INJURY

TO THE EYES & LOSS OF EYESIGHT MAY BE CAUSED.

On striking an arc, the light created will activate the solar cell and the window

will automatically darken to a preset level. The lithium battery will provide the

necessary energy to operate the headshield when there is no arc light. You

can adjust this shade level using the shade adjustment knob on the side of the

headshield, corresponding to the type of welding process.

1. Set the shade selector to the

required setting.

2. During the welding operation the

lens will automatically darken to

the pre-set shade. On removal of

the arc, the lens will return to the

light state.

Check the table to determine which

you should select.

Shade numbers according to BS 379, DIN 4647-1 and EN 169

WARNING: IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT AFTER USING THE HEADSHIELD IN

GRINDING MODE, IT SHOULD BE RETURNED TO THE CORRECT SETTING

BEFORE WELDING. FAILURE TO DO THIS COULD LEAD TO EYE INJURY.

CARE & MAINTENANCE

Damaged components must be replaced immediately to avoid risk of eye

and face injuries. Periodically inspect the filter cartridge and lenses. Cracked,

pitted or scratched lenses reduce vision and seriously reduce the level of

protection and should be replaced with genuine, certified spare parts.

cover. This may cause damage leading to poor function and invalidate the

warranty.

The outer screen can be removed for

replacement and cleaning of the

front lens. It sits in a groove on each

side of the opening and can be

prized it out by carefully inserting a

suitable blade into the slot provided.

household glass cleaner when dirty.

Apply the cleaner with a clean cloth

or paper towel. DO NOT USE

ALCOHOL TO CLEAN. DO NOT APPLY

CLEANER DIRECTLY TO THE CARTRIDGE.

Clean all lenses with a soft tissue and suitable lens cleaning fluid. DO NOT use

solvents. NEVER use tools or other sharp objects to remove material from the

lens or screen. This may cause damage which may cause incorrect function

and invalidate the warranty. Store the unit in it’s box or similar safe place.

The outer lens cover can be removed for replacement if damaged and may

need replacing regularly.

• Two replacement outer lens covers are supplied with the

headshield.

The inner lens cover may also require cleaning. Lift and slide the inside lens

cover (on the operators side of the filter cartridge) free from the filter

cartridge.

household glass cleaner. Apply the cleaner with a clean cloth or paper towel.
