1. Introduction
1.1 About Gamma personal protective equipment
ENGLISH
Gamma product models are personal protective equipment (PPE) for welders and fabrication personnel. They are
designed for arc welding (MMA, MIG/MAG, TIG), grinding,
gouging and plasma cutting.
Gamma welding helmets provide the users with protection
for the eyes and face. They combine a ip-up welding visor with a protective grinding visor and include either an
auto-darkening lter (ADF) or a passive welding lter lens.

Gamma GTH3 models also protect the user's respiratory
system when used together with a compatible powered
lter unit (PFU 210e) or supplied air unit (RSA 230). Gamma
GTH3 models oer the highest level of respiratory protection: TH3 classication with PFU 210e, and 3B classication
with RSA 230.

product models.

2. Safety
Gamma personal protective equipment helps protect the
wearer’s eyes from harmful radiation including visible light
and ultra-violet/infra-red radiation resulting from certain
welding processes.
Warning:
• It is strictly forbidden to use any other than Kemppi branded lters or other parts or accessories with
Kemppi’s personal protection equipment. If you do
not respect this safety regulation, serious damage for
your health may occur.
Warning:
• We recommend a usage period of 5 years. The period
of use depends on various factors such as use, cleaning, storage and maintenance. Inspect the helmet before each use. Replace damaged or worn parts. Never
use a damaged welding lter.
• Use all adjustment features for maximum protection.
• Never weld with the welding visor up or without the
welding lter.
Warning:
• If the auto-darkening lter (ADF) does not darken
when the arc ignites, stop welding immediately. Inspect the ADF and its power supply. Change if necessary.
