Instruction 3M™ Speedglas™ 9100
Welding Shield
BEFORE WELDING
For your own protection read these instructions carefully before using the
Speedglas 9100 welding shield.
The complete assembly is illustrated in fi gure A:1.
Adjust the welding shield according to your individual requirements to
reach the highest comfort. (see fi gure B:1 - B:4).
Shade number should be chosen according to table on page 250.
The Speedglas 9100 welding shield gives permanent protection (shade 13
equivalent) against harmful UV- and IR-radiation, regardless of whether
the fi lter is in the light or dark state or whether the auto-darkening function
is operational.
Two lithium batteries are used as the power source. (3V CR2032)
WARNING!
When used in accordance with these user instructions, this product is
•
designed to help protect the wearer‘s eyes and face from harmful radiation
including visible light, ultra-violet radiation (UV), infra-red radiation (IR)
and sparks and spatter resulting from certain arc/gas welding processes
where shade 5, 8, 9-13 is recommended.
Use of this product in any other application such as laser welding/cutting
•
may result in permanent eye injury and vision loss.
Do not use any welding product without appropriate training.
•
Use only with original Speedglas brand spare parts such as inner and
•
outer protection plates according to the part numbers provided in these
instructions. The use of substitute components or modifi cations not
specifi ed in these user instructions might impair protection and may
invalidate claims under the warranty or cause the shield to be noncompliant with protection classifi cations and approvals.
The Speedglas 9100 welding shield is not designed for heavy duty
•
overhead welding/cutting operations due to the risk of burns from falling
molten metal.

to +55°C) the marking is completed with the letter T. Additional markings
on the product refer to other standards.
FUNCTIONS
On/Off
To activate the welding fi lter, press the SHADE/ON button. The welding
fi lter automatically turns OFF after 1 hour of inactivity.
The welding fi lter has three photo sensors (see fi g A:2) that react
independently and cause the fi lter to darken when a welding arc is struck.
The welding fi lter may not go to dark position if the sensors are blocked or
the welding arc is totally shielded.
Flashing light sources (e.g. safety strobe lights) can trigger the welding
fi lter making it fl ash when no welding is occurring. This interference can
occur from long distances and/or from refl ected light. Welding areas must
be shielded from such interference.
Shade
Seven different Shade Number settings, split into two groups, 5, 8 and
9-13 are available in the dark state. In order to see the current Shade
Number setting, momentarily press the SHADE/ON button. To select
another Shade Number, press the SHADE/ON button repeatedly while the
LED indicators on the display are fl ashing. Move the fl ashing LED to the
desired Shade Number. To shift between the two shade groups (shade 5,8)
and (shade 9-13) hold the SHADE/ON button down for 2 seconds.
In all welding processes the arc should only be viewed with the
recommended dark shade. See table page 250.

Sensitivity
The programming and sensitivity of the photo detector system (which
responds to the light from the welding arc) can be adjusted to accommodate
a variety of welding methods and workplace conditions. In order to see the
current sensitivity setting, momentarily press the SENS button. To select
another setting, press the SENS button repeatedly until the LED shows the
desired setting.
PositionUsed for grinding
Position 1Least sensitive setting. Used if there is interferencefrom other welders’ arcs in the vicinity.
Position 2Normal position. Used for most types of weldingindoors and outdoors.
Position 3Position for welding with low current or with stablewelding arcs. (eg TIG welding)
Position 4 Suitable for very low current welding, use of inverter-type TIG welding machines.
Position 5Most sensitive setting. Used for TIG welding wherepart of the arc is obscured from view.
Positionpassive welding fi lter.
Locked in light state (shade 3) at all times
Locked in selected dark state. Same function as a
Position locked light state
This setting could be used for grinding or other non-welding activities. When
the welding fi lter is locked in the light state (shade 3) the LED under the
symbol will fl ash every 8 seconds to alert the user. The welding fi lter must be
unlocked before arc welding is performed, by choosing a sensitivity setting
for welding. When the welding fi lter turns OFF (after 1 hour inactivity), it will
automatically leave the locked state and go to sensitivity setting 2.
Position 1-5
If the fi lter does not darken during welding as desired, increase the
sensitivity until the welding fi lter switches reliably. Should the sensitivity
be set too high, the fi lter may remain in the dark state after welding is
complete due to ambient light. In this case, adjust the sensitivity downward
to a setting where the welding fi lter both darkens and lightens as desired.

Position locked dark state
When the welding fi lter is locked in the dark state and the welding fi lter
turns OFF (after 1 hour inactivity), it will automatically reset to sensitivity
setting 2.
Delay
The delay function should be used to set the recovery delay from dark to
light of the welding fi lter according to welding method and current. See
table on page 250.
Comfort mode for tack welding.
This setting may help reduce eye fatigue resulting from the eye constantly
adjusting to differing light levels during tack welding. Tack welding mode
uses an intermediate light state (shade 5). If an arc is not struck within 2
seconds the welding fi lter will switch to the normal light state (shade 3).
Note that the Sensitivity and Delay function are using the same LED
indicators on the display.
Low battery indicator
The batteries should be replaced when the low battery indicator fl ashes or
LEDs do not fl ash when the buttons are pressed.
WARNING
Should the Speedglas 9100 welding shield fail to switch to the dark state
in response to an arc, stop welding immediately and inspect the welding
fi lter as described in these instructions. Continued use of a welding fi lter
that fails to switch to the dark state may cause temporary vision loss. If the
problem cannot be identifi ed and corrected, do not use the welding fi lter,
contact your supervisor, distributor or 3M for assistance.
MAINTENANCE
Replacement of outer protection plate.
Remove silver front cover. (see fi gure C:1)
Remove the used outer protection plate and place the new outer protection
plate on the welding fi lter. (see fi gure C:2)
