Safety Precautions
zz
z Pitted or scratched plates reduce vision and protec-
zz
tion. Replace worn or damaged parts immediately.
zz
z Always keep the external and internal protective plates
zz
in place. Failure to do so will allow welding spatter to
pit the front surface of the shade cartridge. This can
reduce the built-in UV and IR protection. (Also, the weld
spatter will void the warranty on the shade cartridge.)
zz
z Do not attempt to open the shade cartridge.
zz
zz
z Do not use in cold weather (below 14° F).
zz
zz
z Keep solar cells clean. Clean with a damp not wet, cloth
zz
dipped in soapy water. Dry with a soft, clean cloth.
zz
z Do not drop, strike, or bend helmet.
zz
zz
z Do not use abrasive cleaning agents.
zz
zz
z Fumes and gases can be hazardous to your health.
zz
Keep your head out of the fumes. Ventilate area or use
breathing devices, if necessary.
zz
z Keep helmet dry (especially the shade cartridge) and
zz
do not place on hot surfaces.
Operation
z Check to see if the front cover lens is inserted and front
lens frame is in place.
z Adjust the headband tension. The helmet is ready to use.
The cartridge will darken with arc ignition.
Troubleshooting
z Uneven darkening
- Protective helmet is not on straight, causing the distance between your eyes and the shade cartridge to
vary. If necessary, decrease distance to shade cartridge.
z The shade cartridge does not darken or it flickers
- Sensors are dirty; clean
- Front cover lens is dirty or damaged; clean or replace
- Welding current is too low
z Slow switching times
- Temperature is too low (should not be below 14° F)
- Lighting is insufficient
z Poor visibility
- Shade levels are set incorrectly
- Front or rear cover lens is dirty
- Room lighting is insufficient
z Welding helmet slips
- Headband is not properly adjusted (set too low)
If these faults cannot be corrected, do not use
helmet. Contact your distributor for assistance.
Be sure this information reaches the operator.
