SECTION 1 −WELDING HELMET SAFETY PRECAUTIONS −

READ BEFORE USING

helmet 2018-08

Protect yourself and others from injury — read, follow, and save these important safety

precautions and operating instructions.

1-1. Symbol Usage

This group of symbols means Warning! Watch

Out! ELECTRIC SHOCK, MOVING PARTS,

and HOT PARTS hazards. Consult symbols

and related instructions below for necessary

actions to avoid the hazards.

Indicates special instructions.

DANGER! −Indicates a hazardous

situation which, if not avoided, will

result in death or serious injury. The

possible hazards are shown in the

adjoining symbols or explained in

the text.

Indicates a hazardous situation

which, if not avoided, could result in

death or serious injury. The possible

hazards are shown in the adjoining

symbols or explained in the text.

NOTICE −Indicates statements not related to

personal injury.

1-2. Arc Welding Hazards

Only qualified persons should install, operate, maintain, and repair this equipment. A

qualified person is defined as one who, by possession of a recognized degree, certificate,

or professional standing, or who by extensive knowledge, training and experience, has

successfully

demonstrated ability to solve or resolve problems relating to the subject

matter, the work, or the project and has received safety training to recognize and avoid

the hazards involved.

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.

Wear 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 Lens

Shade Selection table in Section 1-4.

Wear approved safety glasses with side shields under your helmet.

Use protective screens or barriers to protect others from flash, glare, and sparks; warn

others not to watch the arc.

Wear body protection made from durable, flame−resistant material (leather, heavy cotton,

wool). Body protection includes oil-free clothing such as leather gloves, heavy shirt, cuffless

trousers, high shoes, and a cap.

•Before welding, adjust the auto-darkening lens sensitivity setting to meet the application.

•Stop welding immediately if the auto-darkening lens does not darken when the arc is struck.

ARC RAYS can burn eyes and skin.

NOISE can damage hearing.

Noise from some processes or equipment can damage hearing.

 Wear approved ear protection if noise level is high.

OM-252052 Page 2

WELDING HELMETS do not provide unlimited eye, ear, and

face protection.

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

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

Use helmet for welding/cutting applications only. Do not use helmet for laser welding/cutting.

Use impact resistant safety spectacles or goggles and ear protection at all times when using

this welding helmet.

Do not use this helmet while working with or around explosives or corrosive liquids.

This helmet is not rated for overhead welding. Do not weld in the direct overhead position

while using this helmet unless additional precautions are taken to protect yourself from arc

rays, spatter, and other hazards.

Inspect the auto-lens frequently. Immediately replace any scratched, cracked, or pitted cover

lenses or auto-lenses.

Lens and retention components must be installed as instructed in this manual to ensure

compliance with ANSI Z87.1 protection standards.

READ INSTRUCTIONS.

Read and follow all labels and the Owner’s Manual carefully before in-

stalling, operating, or servicing unit. Read the safety information at the be-

ginning of the manual and in each section.

Use only genuine replacement parts from the manufacturer.

Perform installation, maintenance, and service according to the Owner’s Manuals, industry

standards, and national, state, and local codes.

FUMES AND GASES can be hazardous.

Welding produces fumes and gases. Breathing these fumes and gases can be

hazardous to your health.

Keep your head out of the fumes. Do not breathe the fumes.

Ventilate the work area and/or use local forced ventilation at the arc to remove welding fumes

and gases. The recommended way to determine adequate ventilation is to sample for the com-

position and quantity of fumes and gases to which personnel are exposed.

If ventilation is poor, wear an approved air-supplied respirator.

Read and understand the Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) and the manufacturer’s instructions for

adhesives, coatings, cleaners, consumables, coolants, degreasers, fluxes, and metals.

Work in a confined space only if it is well ventilated, or while wearing an air-supplied respirator.

Always have a trained watchperson nearby. Welding fumes and gases can displace air and

lower the oxygen level causing injury or death. Be sure the breathing air is safe.

Do not weld in locations near degreasing, cleaning, or spraying operations. The heat and rays

of the arc can react with vapors to form highly toxic and irritating gases.

Do not weld on coated metals, such as galvanized, lead, or cadmium plated steel, unless the

coating is removed from the weld area, the area is well ventilated, and while wearing an air-

supplied respirator. The coatings and any metals containing these elements can give off toxic

fumes if welded.

sufficient view of the weld zone without going below the minimum.

3-1. Helmet Controls −Continued

Fixed Shade No. 10 Helmets

The fixed shade models have no

buttons or controls. The lens turns

on (darkens) automatically when

welding begins and turns off when

welding stops.

To ensure proper function, charge

lens internal battery prior to first

use or after extended storage

(about 30 days). Charge battery by

either of these methods:

Expose lens to direct sunlight

for 10 seconds.

Expose lens to light bulb for 20

minutes.

After initial charging, the welding

arc will maintain the charge in the

battery.

Notes

OM-252052 Page 7

3-2. Reset Button And Low Battery Indicator

The auto-darkening lens turns

on (darkens) automatically

when welding begins and turns

off when welding stops.

1 Reset Button

Press Reset button to check if the

lens is working properly.

When the Reset button is pressed,

the lens should darken twice and re-

turn to the clear state. Do not use the

helmet if the lens does not function

as described. (See Section 9, Trou-

bleshooting.)

2 Low Battery Indicator

The low battery indicator lights when

2−3 days of battery life remain.

If battery power is low, install new

AAA Alkaline batteries (Variable

Shade helmet) or Panasonic

CR2450 Lithium battery (VSi helmet)

(see Section 6).

3-3. Mode Control (VSi Helmet Only)

1 Mode Control Button

Slide Mode Control switch to select

the mode appropriate for the work

activity.

Slide switch away from the de-

sired mode (Weld or X-Mode).

When the switch is moved, “On” is

revealed next to the active mode.

Weld Mode −used for most welding

applications. In this mode the lens

turns on when it optically senses a

welding arc. Adjust shade, sensitivity,

and delay settings as needed.

X-Mode −used for outdoor or low cur-

rent welding applications. In this mode

the lens turns on when it senses weld

current. Adjust shade, sensitivity, and

delay settings as needed.

Nearby welding may affect helmet

operation when lens is in X-Mode.

Stay at least 12 ft (3.7 m) away

from other welding activity.
