Welding Helmet
The welding helmets are designed to protect the eye and face from sparks, spatter and harmful
radiation under normal welding conditions.
Welding helmets can only resist a certain amount of heat. Please do not place hot electrode
holders inside the helmet and please do not place the helmet near naked flames or hot work
surfaces. Scratched or damaged lenses must always be replaced if broken, damaged or
covered with spatter to the extent that vision is impaired.
The user should conduct daily regular checks to ensure no damage is evident. Materials that
may get in contact with the wearers skin could cause Allergic reactions to susceptible
individuals. Eye-protectors against high speed particles worn over standard ophthalmic
spectacles may transmit impacts, thus creating a hazard to the wearer.
Please check regularly of the consumable components and replace if serviceability or visibility is
suspected to be affected, and finally dispose when critical components not offered as spares
are suspected to be damaged or if serviceability is affected.
WARNING
• This welding helmet is not suitable for laser welding.
• Never place this helmet on a hot surface.
• This helmet will not protect against explosive devices or corrosive liquids.
• Do not make any modifications to either the lens or helmet, unless specified in this manual.
• Do not use replacement parts other than those specified in this manual. Unauthorized
modifications and replacement parts will void the warranty and expose the operator to the risk of
personal injury.
• Do not immerse the helmet in water
• Do not use any solvents on the filter screen or helmet components.
• Storing temperature: -20 °C ~ +85 °C (- 4 °F ~ +185 °F). The helmet should be stored in dry
cool and dark area, when not using it for a long time.
• Clean the lens surface regularly; do not use strong cleaning solutions. Regularly replace the
cracked / scratched / pitted front lens.
WARNING! Before using the helmet for welding, ensure that you have read and understood the safety
instructions.
II of the EC Regulations.
F20 helmets offer permanent protection against UV/IR rays, also face and eye protection
from sparks caused by the welding process.
Do not look directly at the welding rays with unprotected eyes when the arc strikes. This can
cause painful inflammation of the cornea and irreparable damage to the lens of the eye
leading to cataracts.
RANGE OF APPLICATION
WARNING! Before using the helmet for welding, ensure that you have read and understood the safety

instructions.
ESAB welding helmets can be used for the majority of the arc welding applications and for TIG
where stated. The welding lens provide protection against harmful UV- and IR-radiation
according to the requirement for shade number marked on each passive glass model; eye
protection remains as long as the flip up is in the down position covering the vision.
The following chart is presented as a reference for the selection of the most suitable shade for
the welding filter:
Depending upon the application conditions, the next highest or next lowest protection level can
be used.
The darker fields correspond to those areas in which the corresponding welding process cannot
be used.
The ESAB F20 welding helmets are suitable, but not limited to the following applications:
AC/DC pulses
Inverters WIG/TIG
Stick welding
Argon/Helium
MIG/MAG protective gas electrodes
