SECTION 1 −SAFETY PRECAUTIONS −

READ BEFORE USING

YWarning: Protect yourself and others from injury — read and follow these precautions.

1-1. Symbol Usage

Means Warning! Watch Out!

There are possible hazards with

this procedure! The possible

hazards are shown in the ad-

joining symbols.

YMarks a special safety message.

This group of symbols means Warning! Watch

Out! possible ELECTRIC SHOCK, MOVING

PARTS, and HOT PARTS hazards. Consult sym-

bols and related instructions below for necessary

actions to avoid the hazards.

.Means “Note”; not safety related.

1-2. Hazards

ARC RAYS can burn eyes and skin.

Arc rays from the welding process produce intense visible and invisible (ultravio-

let and infrared) rays that can burn eyes and skin. Sparks fly off from the weld.

DWear a welding helmet fitted with a proper shade of filter to protect your

face and eyes when welding or watching (see ANSI Z49.1 and Z87.1 listed

in Safety Standards). Refer to Shade and Sensitivity charts in Sections 3-4

and 3-5.

DWear approved safety glasses with side shields under your helmet.

DUse protective screens or barriers to protect others from flash and glare;

warn others not to watch the arc.

DWear protective clothing made from durable, flame-resistant material

(leather and wool) and foot protection.

WELDING HELMETS do not provide unlimited eye, ear and

face protection.

DUse impact resistant safety spectacles or goggles and ear protection at all

times when using this welding helmet.

DDo not use this helmet while working with or around explosives or

corrosive liquids.

DDo not weld in the overhead position while using this helmet.

DInspect the auto-lens frequently. Immediately replace any scratched,

cracked, or pitted cover lenses or auto-lenses.

NOISE can damage hearing.

Noise from some processes or equipment can damage hearing.

DWear approved ear protection if noise level is high.

.Two different lens assemblies are

shown. Refer to the illustration

that matches the lens on your hel-

met.

5 Sensitivity Control

(See Section 3-5)

Fixed Shade No. 10 Model

The fixed shade model has no buttons

or controls. The lens turns on (dark-

ens) automatically when welding be-

gins and turns off when welding stops.

.Always make sure the lens is fully

charged before welding. Place

helmet in direct sunlight for 20

minutes to charge the lens as-

sembly solar cell.

3-2. On Button And Low Battery Indicator

(Variable Shade Models Only)

1 On Button

Press button to turn on lens and be-

gin welding. The lens will automati-

cally darken twice and then return to

the light state.

.The lens will automatically turn

Off (clear state −No. 3) 15−20

minutes after the last arc. Press

the On button to resume

welding.

2 Low Battery Indicator

The low battery indicator lights

when 2−3 days of battery life re-

main.

If battery power is low, replace with

AAA Lithium Batteries only (see

Section 6).

3-3. Lens Delay Control (Variable Shade Models Only)

1 Lens Delay Control

The lens delay control is used to

adjust the time for the lens to switch

to the clear state after welding.

The delay is particularly useful in

eliminating bright after-rays pres-

ent in higher amperage applica-

tions where the molten puddle re-

mains bright momentarily after

welding. Adjusts from slow to fast.

(No. 8 −12)

Use the control to adjust the lens

shade in the darkened state. Use

the table below to select proper

shade control setting based on

your welding process.

Start at shade 12 and adjust lighter

to suit the welding application and

your personal preference.

3-5. Sensitivity Control (Variable Shade Models Only)

1 Sensitivity Control

Use control to make the lens more re-

sponsive to different light levels in vari-

ous welding processes. Use a Mid-

Range or 30−50% sensitivity setting

for most applications.

It may be necessary to adjust helmet

sensitivity to accommodate different

lighting conditions or if lens is flashing

On and Off. Adjust helmet sensitivity as

follows:

.Adjust helmet sensitivity in lighting

conditions helmet will be used in.

STurn sensitivity control to lowest

setting.

SPress On button to turn helmet On.

Helmet lens will darken twice and

then clear.

SFace the helmet in the direction of

use, exposing it to the surrounding

light conditions.

SGradually turn sensitivity setting

clockwise until the lens darkens,

then turn sensitivity control coun-

terclockwise until slightly past set-

ting where lens clears. Helmet is

ready for use. Slight readjustment

may be necessary for certain ap-

plications or if lens is flashing on

and off.

SECTION 4 −Adjusting Headgear

.There are four headgear ad-

justments: headgear top,

tightness, distance adjust-

ment, and angle adjustment.

1 Headgear Top Adjustment

Adjusts headgear for proper

depth on the head to ensure cor-

rect balance and stability.

2 Headgear Tightness

Adjustment

Adjusts headgear for a secure fit.

To adjust, push in the adjusting

knob located on the back of the

headgear. Turn knob left or right

to obtain desired tightness.

.If adjustment is limited, it may

be necessary to remove the

comfort cushion.

3 Distance Adjustment

Adjusts the distance between the

face and the lens. To adjust, loos-

en both outside tension knobs

and press inward to free from ad-

justment slots. Move forward or

back to desired position and re-

tighten. (Both sides must be

equally positioned for proper vi-

sion.)

4 Angle Adjustment

Four pins on the right side of the

headbandtop provide adjustment

for the forward tilt of the helmet. To

adjust, loosen the right outside

tension adjustment knob then lift

on the control arm tab and move

it to the desired position. Retigh-

ten tension adjustment knob.

.When using either the front or

back distance adjustment

positions, only the center

three angle adjustment pins

can be used.

SECTION 5 −REPLACING THE LENS COVERS

5-1. Replacing Outside Lens Cover

YNever use the auto-darkening

lens without the inside and

outside lens covers properly

installed.Welding spatter will

damage the auto-darkening

lens and void the warranty.

1 Outside Lens Cover Frame

2 Lens

3 Gasket

Remove lens cover frame by grasp-

ing the outside corners and pulling

the frame away from the helmet.

Remove lens and gasket from the

six-prong lens frame. Replace lens

in gasket and reinstall gasket and

lens in frame. Reinstall frame in hel-

met.

.Be sure the flat side of lens gas-

ket faces the six-prong lens

frame.

.Be sure all six prongs of lens

frame are securely fastened in

slots in helmet.

804 794

Be sure flat side of gasket

faces lens frame.
