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 welderʼs arcs in the immediate area
does not enter in from behind the helmet and auto-darkening filter.

Auto-darkening filters in Marquette

Note:

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.

HELMET INFORMATION

This Auto-Darkening Welding Helmet will automatically change from a light state (shade 4) to a
dark state (Shade 9-13) when arc welding starts.

The filter automatically returns to a light state when the arc stops.
Shade control adjustments can be made while welding.

Match your welding application to the shade indicated on the shade chart. (See Page 4)

• Operating temperature: 23°F ~ 131°F (-5°C ~ 55°C).

• Do not use or open the auto-darkening filter if damaged by shock, vibration or pressure.

• Keep the sensors and solar cell clean. Clean the filter cartridge using a soapy water solution
and soft cloth which should be damp but not saturated.

This Auto-Darkening Welding Helmet is designed for use with GMAW, GTAW, MMAW, SMAW,
FCAW welding, or Plasma Arc and air carbon arc cutting.

The cartridge provides protection from harmful UV and IR radiation, in both dark and light states.
The cartridge contains two sensors to detect the light from the welding arc, resulting in the lens

darkening to a selected welding shade.

• Do not use solvents or abrasive cleaning detergent.

• If cover lens is spattered or covered with dirt, it should be replaced immediately.

• Do not use the helmet without inside and outside cover lenses properly installed.
