Read all instructions before using this helmet!

WARNING

INHALATION HAZARD:

Welding and Plasma Cutting Produce

TOXIC FUMES.

Exposure to welding or cutting exhaust fumes can increase the risk of developing certain cancers, such as cancer of the larynx and lung cancer. Also, some diseases that may be linked to exposure to welding or plasma cutting exhaust fumes are:

• Early onset of Parkinson’s Disease

• Heart disease • Ulcers

Damage to the reproductive organs

Inflammation of the small intestine or

stomach

• Kidney damage

Respiratory diseases such as emphysema, bronchitis, or pneumonia

Use natural or forced air ventilation and wear a respirator approved by NIOSH to protect against the fumes produced to reduce the risk of developing the above illnesses.

1.Do not use the Welding Helmet if the lens is cracked, if the lens or sensors are dirty, or if the lens or front retaining frame is loose.

2.Keep work area clean. Cluttered areas invite injuries.

3.Observe work area conditions. Do not use welding helmets in damp or wet locations. Do not expose to rain. Keep work area well lit. Do not use auto-darkening helmets in the presence of flammable gases or liquids.

4.Keep children away. Children must never be allowed in the work area. Do not let them handle this helmet. Dress properly. Do not

wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts.

5.Store idle equipment. When not in use, helmets must be stored in a dry location to inhibit rust. Always lock up helmets and keep out of reach of children.

6.Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry as they can be caught in moving parts. Protective gear is essential to protect against welding rays, some examples are: a leather welding apron, welding sleeves, jeans without cuffs, work boots. Wear restrictive hair covering to contain long hair.

7.Use eye and ear protection. When welding, wear ANSI-approved impact safety goggles under the Welding Helmet. Wear a NIOSH-approved respirator and hearing protection when welding.

8.Stay alert. Watch what you are doing, use common sense. Do not weld when you are tired.

9.Check for damaged parts. Before using any helmet, any part that appears damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended function. Check for alignment and binding of moving parts; any broken parts or mounting fixtures; and any other condition that may affect proper operation. Any part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by a qualified technician. Do not use the helmet if any switch does not operate properly.

10.Replacement parts and accessories. When servicing, use only identical replacement parts. Use of any other parts can render helmet ineffective, possibly causing eye damage, and will void

the warranty. Only use accessories intended for use with this helmet. Approved accessories are available from Harbor Freight Tools.

11.Do not weld if under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Read warning labels on prescriptions to determine if your judgment or reflexes are impaired

while taking drugs. If there is any doubt, do not weld.

12.Maintenance. For your safety, service and maintenance should be performed regularly only by a qualified technician.
