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.

Auto-darkening filters in Lincoln helmets are designed to protect the user against harmful

Note:

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: Headband tightness is adjusted by pushing in the

ratchet knob and turning to adjust to desired comfort level. This knob is
located at the back of the helmet. HEAD GEAR CROWN ADJUSTMENT is
made by adjusting crown strap for vertical placement on the head and snap­ping the pin into the hole to lock securely in place.

Tilt: Tilt is adjusted on the left side of the helmet. TILT is adjusted by loos­ening outside tension knob and releasing the adjustment lever from its cur­rent location and moving it to another location. Retighten the outside tension
knob when finished.

(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

.

• Periodic cleaning with soapy water solution or standard glass cleaner is
suggested. Air dry or use soft cloth to dry.

• ADF cartridges may be cleaned with soft, dry cloth. The ADF cartridge is
not to be submerged in water or other solution.

• Change or clean polycarbonate impact resistant clear lens when it
becomes dirty or cloudy.

• Store in a clean, dry location.
