Operation Instructions
Read the ENTIRE IMPORTANT
SAFETY INFORMATION section at the
beginning of this manual including
all text under subheadings therein
before set up or use of this product.
1. Before each use, check the Front Lens Cover
to makes sure that it is clean, and that no dirt
is covering the two sensors on the front of the
Filter Cartridge. Also check the Inside Lens
Cover and the Front Lens Retaining Frame, and
make sure that they are secured in place.
2. Inspect all operating parts before each use for signs
of wear or damage. Any scratched, cracked, or
pitted parts should be replaced immediately before
using again to avoid severe personal injury.
3. Turn the shade knob to the correct shade
for the application as shown in Table A:
Shade Guide. If a selection of shades
are recommended for your application,
try the darkest setting (highest number) rst.
4. Set the switches as explained on the facing page.
5. Adjust the headband so that the helmet is seated on
your head as low as possible and close to your face.
Adjust the helmet’s angle when in the lowered
position by turning the Adjustment Knobs.
WARNING! TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY
FROM ACCIDENTAL EXPOSURE:
Test the lter lens before welding.
While wearing the helmet, briey strike an arc,
keeping your face and eyes turned slightly away,
and to one side. The lens should darken evenly
when not directly facing the arc. If it does not
darken properly, do not use the Welding Helmet.
6. After use, wipe with a clean cloth.
Store in a dry, safe place, away from children.
Troubleshooting
1. Irregular Darkening or Dimming
Headband has been set unevenly
between the two sides of the helmet
(unequal distances from the eyes to lter’s lens).
2. Filter Lens Does Not Darken Or Flickers
a. Shade Control Knob set to “Grind”,
disabling auto-darkening function
(turn shade knob to desired shade setting).
b. Front Lens Cover is soiled or damaged
(change the Lens Cover).
c. Sensor is soiled (clean sensor).
d. Welding current is too low
(turn Sensitivity Switch from low to high).
3. Slow Response
Operating temperature is too low
(do not use at temperatures below 23° F).
4. Poor Vision
a. Front/Inner Lens Cover and/or lter damaged/dirty
(change/clean it).
b. Insufcient ambient light
(increase work area ambient lighting).
c. Shade number is incorrectly set
(reset shade number).
5. Welding Helmet Slips
Headband is not adjusted properly (tighten).
WARNING: Stop using the Welding Helmet
IMMEDIATELY if any of the above-mentioned
problems cannot be corrected.
