SAFETY WARNINGS – READ BEFORE USING

WARNING

ARC Rays can injure eyes and burn skin

• Before welding, always inspect helmet and filter lens to be sure they are fitted
properly, in good condition and not damaged.

• Check to see that the clear lens is clean and securely attached to the helmet.

• Always wear safety glasses or goggles under the welding helmet and protective
clothing to protect your skin from radiation, burns and spatter.

• Ensure that optical radiation from other welder’s arcs in the immediate area
does not enter in from behind the helmet and auto-darkening filter.

Note:

Auto-darkening filters in Lincoln helmets are designed to protect the user against harmful
ultra-violet and infrared rays both in the dark and light states. No matter what shade the filter is
set to, the UV/IR protection is always present.

FUMES AND GASES can be dangerous to your health.

• Keep your head out of fumes.

• Use enough ventilation or exhaust at the arc or both to keep fumes and gases
from your breathing zone and general area.

• When welding with electrodes which require special ventilation such as
stainless or hard facing (see instructions on container or MSDS) or on
lead or cadmium plated steel and other metals or coatings which pro­duce highly toxic fumes, keep exposure as low as possible and within
applicable OSHA PEL and ACGIH TLV limits using local exhaust or
mechanical ventilation. In confined spaces or in some circumstances,
outdoors, a respirator may be required. Additional precautions are also
required when welding on galvanized steel.

Headgear Adjustment

Head Size Adjustment: HEADGEAR TIGHTNESS is adjusted by push-

ing in the Ratchet Knob and turning to adjust for the desired head size. This
knob is located at the back of the helmet. HEADGEAR CROWN ADJUST­MENT is made by adjusting for comfort and snapping the pin into the hole to
lock securely in place.

Tilt: Tilt adjustment is located on left side of helmet. Loosen the left head­gear tension knob and push the top end of the adjustment lever inward until

Battries: No batteries are required! This product is solar powered and
contains solar panels. CAUTION: Insure the solar panels are facing forward
toward the outside of the helmet to capture light from the welding arc and
surrounding environment.
