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 ADJUST-
MENT is made by adjusting for comfort and snapping the pin into the hole to
lock securely in place.

TILT: Tilt adjustment is located on the right side of helmet. Loosen the right
headgear tension knob and push the top end of the adjustment lever outward
until the lever’s Stop Tab clears the notches. Then rotate the lever forward or
back to the desired tilt position. The Stop will automatically engage again
when released locking the helmet into position.

FORE / AFT ADJUSTMENT: Adjusts the distance between the user’s face
and the lens. To adjust, loosen the outside tension knobs and slide forward
or back to the desired position and retighten. NOTE: Make sure both sides
are equally positioned for proper operation.

(1)

As

a

rule

of thumb, start with a shade that is too dark, then go to a lighter shade which gives sufficient view of the weld zone without going

below the

minimum. In oxyfuel gas welding or cutting where the torch produces a high yellow light, it is desirable to use a filter lens that absorbs

the

yellow or

sodium line the visible light of the (spectrum) operation

(2)

These values apply where the actual arc is clearly seen. Experience has shown that lighter filters may be used when the arc is hidden by the
workpiece.
