SECTION 1 − SAFETY PRECAUTIONS −
READ BEFORE USING
Warning! Watch Out! There are possible hazards as shown
in the adjoining symbols.
D Read and follow Section 1 for all safety symbols.
ARC RAYS can burn eyes and skin.
Arc rays from the welding process produce intense visible and invisible (ultraviolet and infrared) rays that can burn eyes and skin. Sparks fly off from the weld.
D Wear a welding helmet fitted with a proper shade of filter to protect your
face and eyes when welding or watching (see ANSI Z49.1 and Z87.1 listed
in Safety Standards). Refer to Shade and Sensitivity charts in Section 2.
D Wear approved safety glasses with side shields under your helmet.
D Use protective screens or barriers to protect others from flash and glare;
warn others not to watch the arc.
D Wear protective clothing made from durable, flame-resistant material
(leather and wool) and foot protection.
WELDING HELMETS do not provide unlimited eye, ear and
face protection.
D Use impact resistant safety spectacles or goggles and ear protection at all
times when using this welding helmet.
D Do not use this helmet while performing grinding operations, working with
or around explosives or corrosive liquids.
D Do not weld in the overhead position while using this helmet.
D Inspect the auto-lens frequently. Immediately replace any scratched,
cracked, or pitted cover lenses or auto-lenses.
NOISE can damage hearing.
Noise from some processes or equipment can damage hearing.
D Wear approved ear protection if noise level is high.
