PREPARATION & USE
ASSEMBLY
Refer to the part numbers on page 6.
1. Install headband (8) by removing the thumbscrews (3) individually, and
fasten again after passing each spindle (12) through the holes on the sides
of the hood. Ensure the square lugs of the spacer (15) and back washer
(13) seat in the headshield and the adjustment tab (9) is locked in position.
2. Remove protective film from lens before use.
ADJUST HEADBAND TO FIT
1. The headband (8) should be adjusted both in diameter and height to fit
the wearer’s head. To do this, press the adjustment knob (10) on the back
of the headband and turn the nut either left or right to expand or contract
the headband.

2. The top headband can be adjusted by bending the strap and positioning
the peg in the appropriate hole.
3. When the thumbscrews (3) are tight, the angle of tilt can be quickly and
repeatably adjusted using the adjusting tab (9), by placing it on the
chosen peg on the headband.
USING THE HEADSHIELD
1. Remove the protective film from both sides of the cartridge (1).
• The window will be set to Light DIN 4 state, and you will be able to see the
workpiece. The lens will automatically darken when an arc is struck.
2. Test the lens by striking an arc on the workpiece for the first time. Check
also that the outer screen and lens are clean and clear at all times.
3. Change the shade of setting as required using the shade adjustment knob
(4). Refer to the table opposite.
4. When the helmet is not used for 15 minutes, the power will automatically
shut off. There is no OFF switch.
SELECT THE SHADE SETTING
On striking an arc, the light created
will activate the solar cell and the
window will automatically darken to
a preset level. The lithium battery will
provide the necessary energy to
operate the head shield when there
is no arc light. Because the cartridge
assembly is a sealed unit, the battery
cannot be replaced. You can adjust
this shade level using the shade knob
(4) on the side of the headshield,
corresponding to the type of welding
process.
• There are five levels available;
9, 10, 11, 12 and 13. Check the
table to determine which value
you should select.
1. Set the shade selector (4) to the
required setting.
2. During the welding operation the
lens will automatically darken to
the pre-set shade. On removal of the arc, the lens will return to the light
state.
3. Adjust the ‘Sensitivity’ and ‘Delay Time’ as desired by using the adjustment
knob.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
GENERAL
Damaged components must be replaced immediately to avoid risk of eye
and face injuries. Periodically inspect the filter cartridge and lenses. Cracked,
pitted or scratched lenses reduce vision and seriously reduce the level of
protection and should be replaced with genuine, certified spare parts. The
outer screen can be removed for cleaning or replacement by prising it away
at its lower edge with the thumb. When replacing, take care it lays evenly on
the lips provided. Due to the small size of the components, the lithium battery
cannot be replaced.
CLEANING & STORAGE
The cartridge (5) can be wiped with a household glass cleaner when dirty.
Apply the cleaner with a clean cloth or paper towel. DO NOT USE ALCOHOL
TO CLEAN. DO NOT APPLY CLEANER DIRECTLY TO THE CARTRIDGE. The
headshield should be stored in it’s box or similar place.
Clean all lenses with a soft tissue and suitable lens cleaning fluid. Do not use
solvents. Never use tools or other sharp objects to remove material from the
filter or helmet. This may cause damage which may cause incorrect function
and invalidate the warranty.
