ENGLISH
For your protection and maximum efficiency, please read this information carefully
before use.
BEFORE WELDING
Ensure that the helmet is correctly assembled and that it completely blocks any acci-
•
dental light. In the front, light may enter the helmet only through the viewing area of the
electro-optical welding filter.
Ensure that solar cells and photo-sensors are not covered by any object or dirt, as this
•
could prevent the proper operation of the filter.
Adjust the headgear to ensure maximum comfort and to provide the largest field of vision.
•
Check the prescribed shade level for your welding application and adjust your electro-op-
•
tical filter accordingly (see the table with recommended shade levels).
Replace potentional malfunctioned (check that the electro-optical welding filter turns dark
•
if you strike the welding arc) or physically damaged electro-optical welding filter.
If these conditions are not fulfilled, the product is not suitable for use.
PRECAUTIONS
•
Never place the helmet or the electro-optical welding filter on hot surfaces.
•
Scratched or damaged protection screens should be regularly replaced by original ESAB
ones. Before using the new protection screen, make sure to remove any additional protective foil from both sides.
•
Only use NEW-TECHTM 9-13 in the temperature range between -10°C and +60°C (+14°F
to +140°F).
•
Do not expose the electro-optical welding filter to liquids and protect it from dirt.
•
Failure to follow these instructions will invalidate the guarantee. ESAB does not accept
liability for any problems which may arise from applications other than welding, or if the
instructions for use are not strictly followed. The NEW-TECHTM 9-13 welding helmet is
manufactured to protect the welder’s eyes and face against spatters and hazardous ultraviolet and infrared rays emitted during the welding process. For other applications use
other suitable personal protective equipment.
Use only original ESAB spare parts. In case of doubt, please call your ESAB authorized
•
dealer.
Materials which may come into contact with the wearer’s skin could cause allergic reac-
•
tions to susceptible individuals.
Welding helmet worn over standard ophthalmic spectacles may transmit impact, thus cre-
•
ate a hazard to the wearer.
If the helmet and the protection screen both do not carry the B marking, then only the S
•
marking is valid.

STORAGE
When not in use the filter should be stored in a dry place within the temperature range
of -20°C to +65°C (-4°F to +149°F). Prolonged exposure to temperatures above 40°C
(104°F) may decrease the battery lifetime. It is recommended that the solar cell of the
filter is kept in the dark or not exposed to light during storage in order to keep the filter
on power down mode. This can be achieved by simply placing the filter face down on the
storage shelf.
MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
It is always necessary to keep the solar cell and the light sensors of the filter free of dust
and spatters: cleaning can be done with a soft tissue or a cloth soaked in mild detergent
(or alcohol). Never use aggressive solvents such as acetone. ESAB filters should always
be protected from both sides by protective screens (polycarbonate or CR39), which
should also be only cleaned with a soft tissue or cloth. If protective screens are in any
way damaged, they must immediately be replaced.

HELMET AND HEADGEAR ASSEMBLY
Insert screws (A) through the openings in the headgear (D).
1.
Insert the headgear (D) into the helmet shell (F) as shown in figure 1 and push the screws
2.
(A) through the rectangular opening in the helmet shell.
Put the tilt adjustment (B) on the right side between the screw (A) and helmet shell (F).
3.
Make sure that a small pin is fixed in one of the three holes in the helmet shell. Choose the
right hole for your maximum comfort.
Tighten the nuts (C) on screws (A). Before adequately tightening them, place the headgear
4.
at the most comfortable distance from the filter opening by using the two rectangular holes
in the helmet shell.
The headgear (D) can be adjusted by turning the rear wheel (E) in order to fit any head
5.
size. Press the wheel and hold it before and while turning it, and release it when reaching
the position of maximum comfort, so the wheel will lock the required position.

HELMET AND MOUNTING SYSTEM ASSEMBLY
Fix the metal spring into the slots of the supporting frame as shown in figure 2, but on one
1.
side only.
Insert the metal spring hook on the side already attached to the frame, into the provided
2.
hole in the inner upper corner of the helmet filter opening, as shown in figure 3.
Insert the other metal spring hook into the second hole and attach the free end of the
3.
metal spring into the slots on the other side of the supporting frame.
WARNING
The NEW-TECHTM 9-13 welding helmet is designed to be as user-friendly as possible, so there is no need
to disassemble the mounting system when replacing the protective screens or welding filter. We strongly
discourage the disassembly of the mounting system for any none specific reason, the above described
procedure requires some advanced skills.
