SECTION 1 – SAFETY PRECAUTIONS – READ BEFORE USING

Protect yourself and others from injury—read, follow, and save these important safety precautions and operating instructions.

1-1. Symbol Usage

DANGER! – Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury. The possible hazards are shown in the adjoining symbols or explained in the text.

Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury. The possible hazards are shown in the adjoining symbols or explained in the text.

NOTICE – Indicates statements not related to personal injury.

Indicates special instructions.

1-2. Arc Welding Hazards

The symbols shown below are used throughout this manual to call attention to and identify possible hazards. When you see the symbol, watch out, and follow the related instructions to avoid the hazard. The safety information given below is only a summary of the more complete safety information found in the Principal Safety Standards. Read and follow all Safety Standards.

Only qualified persons should install, operate, maintain, and repair this equipment. A qualified person is defined as one who, by possession of a recognized degree, certificate, or professional standing, or who by extensive knowledge, training and experience, has successfully demonstrated the ability to solve or resolve problems relating to the subject matter, the work, or the project and has received safety training to recognize and avoid the hazards involved.

During operation, keep everybody, especially children, away.

ARC RAYS can burn eyes and skin.

Arc rays from the welding process produce intense visible and invisible (ultraviolet and infrared) rays that can burn eyes and skin. Sparks fly off from the weld.

l Wear a welding helmet fitted with a proper shade of filter to protect

your face and eyes when welding or watching (see ANSI Z49.1 and Z87.1 listed in Principal Safety Standards). Refer to Lens Shade Selection table in Section 1-3.

l Wear approved safety glasses with side shields under your

helmet.

l Use protective screens or barriers to protect others from flash,

glare, and sparks; warn others not to watch the arc.

l Wear body protection made from leather or flame-resistant cloth-

ing (FRC). Body protection includes oil-free clothing such as leather gloves, heavy shirt, cuffless trousers, high shoes, and a cap.

l Before welding, adjust the auto-darkening lens sensitivity setting

to meet the application.

l Stop welding immediately if the auto-darkening lens does not

darken when the arc is struck.

This group of symbols means Warning! Watch Out! ELECTRIC SHOCK, MOVING PARTS, and HOT PARTS hazards. Consult symbols and related instructions below for necessary actions to avoid these hazards.

WELDING HELMETS do not provide unlimited eye, ear, and face protection.

Arc rays from the welding process produce intense visible and invisible (ultraviolet and infrared) rays

that can burn eyes and skin. Sparks fly off from the weld.

l Use helmet for welding/cutting applications only. Do not use hel-

met for laser welding/cutting.

l Use impact resistant safety spectacles or goggles and ear protec-

tion at all times when using this welding helmet.

l Do not use this helmet while working with or around explosives or

corrosive liquids.

l This helmet is not rated for overhead welding. Do not weld in the

direct overhead position while using this helmet unless additional precautions are taken to protect yourself from arc rays, spatter, and other hazards.

l Inspect the auto-lens frequently. Immediately replace any

scratched, cracked, or pitted cover lenses or auto-lenses.

l Lens and retention components must be installed as instructed in

this manual to ensure compliance with ANSI Z87.1 protection standards.

l This helmet provides protection from projectiles associated with

grinding, chipping, and related activities; it is not a hard hat and does not provide protection from falling objects.

NOISE can damage hearing.

Noise from some processes or equipment can damage hearing.

l Wear approved ear protection if noise level is high.

READ INSTRUCTIONS.

l Read and follow all labels and the Owner’s Manual

carefully before installing, operating, or servicing unit. Read the safety information at the beginning of the manual and in each section.

l Use only genuine replacement parts from the manufacturer. l Perform installation, maintenance, and service according to the

Owner’s Manuals, industry standards, and national, state, and local codes.

FUMES AND GASES can be

hazardous.

Welding produces fumes and gases. Breathing these fumes and gases can be hazardous to your health.

l Keep your head out of the fumes. Do not breathe the fumes. l Ventilate the work area and/or use local forced ventilation at the

arc to remove welding fumes and gases. The recommended way to determine adequate ventilation is to sample for the composition and quantity of fumes and gases to which personnel are exposed.

l If ventilation is poor, wear an approved air-supplied respirator. l Read and understand the Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) and the

manufacturer’s instructions for adhesives, coatings, cleaners, consumables, coolants, degreasers, fluxes, and metals.

l Work in a confined space only if it is well ventilated, or while wear-

ing an air-supplied respirator. Always have a trained watchperson nearby. Welding fumes and gases can displace air and lower the oxygen level causing injury or death. Be sure the breathing air is safe.

l Do not weld in locations near degreasing, cleaning, or spraying

operations. The heat and rays of the arc can react with vapors to form highly toxic and irritating gases.

l Do not weld on coated metals, such as galvanized, lead, or cadmi-

um plated steel, unless the coating is removed from the weld area, the area is well ventilated, and while wearing an air-supplied respirator. The coatings and any metals containing these elements can give off toxic fumes if welded.

BREATHING UNFILTERED AIR can

be hazardous.

Welding produces fumes and gases. Misuse of the powered air purifying respirator (PAPR) may expose you to fumes and gases hazardous to your

health.

l Read and follow these instructions and the safety labels carefully.

The powered air purifying respirator is intended only for welding applications. The powered air purifying respirator helps protect the user from specific airborne contaminants but must be used correctly to be fully effective. Have an industrial hygienist test the air in your facility to ensure the powered air purifying respirator provides adequate protection from contaminants in your environment. If you have questions about the powered air purifying respirator, see equipment NIOSH label and consult your Safety Director and a certified Industrial Hygienist. For occupational use applications, employers must implement a written respiratory protection program meeting the requirements of OSHA 29 CFR 1910.134 (USA) or CSA Z94.4 (Canada), and other substance specific requirements as applicable.

l Do not use the powered air purifying respirator until you have been

trained in its proper operation by a qualified person.

l Do not use the powered air purifying respirator in applications im-

mediately dangerous to life or health (IDLH).

l Follow all applicable ANSI, OSHA, CSA, and other regulatory

guidelines pertaining to the use of respirators.

l Do not use the powered air purifying respirator where there is dan-

ger of fire or explosion.

l Do not use the powered air purifying respirator in windy conditions

or negative pressure inside the hood can draw in contaminants from the outside air.

l Do not use the powered air purifying respirator without a properly

installed spark guard. Without the spark guard, welding sparks can ignite the filter or damage the filters and allow unfiltered air into the helmet.

l The powered air purifying respirator does not supply oxygen. Use

the respirator only in NIOSH-approved atmospheres. Do not use the respirator where oxygen levels are 19.5% or lower, where contaminant levels are unknown or are immediately dangerous to life or health, where contaminant levels exceed the powered air purifying respirator specifications, in areas that are poorly ventilated, or where escape is not possible without using the powered air purifying respirator.

l Do not enter a hazardous area until you are sure the powered air

purifying respirator is assembled correctly, working properly, and worn properly.

l Before each use, inspect the respirator equipment for damage

and verify it operates properly. Before using the respirator, test air flow to verify it is providing an adequate volume of air. Clean and maintain respirator equipment according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

l Do not use the powered air purifying respirator without all filter

components or with the blower turned off because hazardous levels of oxygen and carbon dioxide can accumulate in the helmet.

l Always wear the powered air purifying respirator when entering a

contaminated area. Do not remove the respirator until outside the contaminated area.

l Dangerous contaminants may not smell or be visible. Leave the

area immediately if you notice any of the following:

– Breathing becomes difficult. – You experience dizziness, impaired vision, or eye, nose, or

mouth irritation. – The air supply smells or tastes unusual. – The powered air purifying respirator alarm sounds. – The equipment is damaged. – Air flow decreases or stops. – If you think the equipment is not supplying adequate

protection. Do not remove the equipment until you are in a safe area.

l Do not repair, modify, or disassemble the powered air purifying

respirator or use with parts or accessories not supplied by the manufacturer. Use only those components that are part of the NIOSH-approved assembly.

l Replace damaged or plugged filters. Do not wash or reuse filters.

Do not clean filters by tapping or with compressed air or filter elements can be damaged. Dispose of used filter elements according to local, state, and federal requirements.

l The powered air purifying respirator must be used with the helmet,

hood, and filters recommended by the manufacturer to provide a NIOSH-approved respirator system. See the NIOSH label for information on the required equipment.

l Do not use the powered air purifying respirator belt and shoulder

straps as a safety harness.

l Have a qualified person test the breathing air to ensure it meets

Grade D requirements. Breathing air testing shall be done in accordance with a written respirator protection program (prepared by a qualified person) specific to the workplace.

l The powered air purifying respirator contains electrical parts which

have not been evaluated as an ignition source in flammable or explosive atmospheres by MSHA/NIOSH.

LIRE LES INSTRUCTIONS.

l Lire et appliquer les instructions sur les étiquettes

et le Mode d’emploi avant l’installation, l’utilisation ou l’entretien de l’appareil. Lire les informations de sécurité au début du manuel et dans chaque

section.

l N’utiliser que des pièces de remplacement provenant du fabricant.

Page 9

l Effectuer l’installation, l’entretien et toute intervention selon les

manuels d’utilisateurs, les normes nationales, provinciales et de l’industrie, ainsi que les codes municipaux.

LES FUMÉES ET LES GAZ peuvent

être dangereux.

Le soudage génère des fumées et des gaz. Leur inhalation peut être dangereux pour votre santé.

l Eloigner votre tête des fumées. Ne pas respirer les fumées. l À l’intérieur, ventiler la zone et/ou utiliser une ventilation forcée au

niveau de l’arc pour l’évacuation des fumées et des gaz de soudage. Pour déterminer la bonne ventilation, il est recommandé de procéder à un prélèvement pour la composition et la quantité de fumées et de gaz auxquelles est exposé le personnel.

l Si la ventilation est médiocre, porter un respirateur anti-vapeurs

approuvé.

l Lire et comprendre les fiches de données de sécurité et les ins-

tructions du fabricant concernant les adhésifs, les revêtements, les nettoyants, les consommables, les produits de refroidissement, les dégraisseurs, les flux et les métaux.

l Travailler dans un espace fermé seulement s’il est bien ventilé ou

en portant un respirateur à alimentation d’air. Demander toujours à un surveillant dûment formé de se tenir à proximité. Des fumées et des gaz de soudage peuvent déplacer l’air et abaisser le niveau d’oxygène provoquant des blessures ou des accidents mortels. S’assurer que l’air de respiration ne présente aucun danger.

l Ne pas souder dans des endroits situés à proximité d’opérations

de dégraissage, de nettoyage ou de pulvérisation. La chaleur et les rayons de l’arc peuvent réagir en présence de vapeurs et former des gaz hautement toxiques et irritants.

l Ne pas souder des métaux munis d’un revêtement, tels que l’acier

galvanisé, plaqué en plomb ou au cadmium à moins que le revêtement n’ait été enlevé dans la zone de soudure, que l’endroit soit bien ventilé, et en portant un respirateur à alimentation d’air. Les revêtements et tous les métaux renfermant ces éléments peuvent dégager des fumées toxiques en cas de soudage.

RESPIRER DE L'AIR NON FILTRÉ

peut être dangereux.

Le soudage produit des vapeurs et des gaz. Une mauvaise utilisation du respirateur à adduction d'air (PAPR) peut vous exposer à des fumées et

des gaz dangereux pour la santé.

l Lire et respecter scrupuleusement ces consignes et les marqua-

ges de sécurité. Le respirateur à adduction d’air est uniquement prévu pour des applications de soudage. Le respirateur à adduction d’air contribue à protéger l’utilisateur de polluants atmosphériques spécifiques mais doit être utilisé correctement pour être pleinement efficace. Demander à un hygiéniste industriel de tester l’air dans votre établissement pour vérifier que le respirateur à adduction d’air assure une protection adéquate contre les polluants de votre environnement. Pour toute question concernant le respirateur à adduction d’air, lire l’étiquette NIOSH de l’équipement et consulter le responsable de la sécurité ainsi qu’un hygiéniste industriel qualifié. Pour les applications en milieu professionnel, les employeurs doivent mettre en place un programme de protection respiratoire rédigé répondant aux exigences des normes OSHA 29 CFR 1910.134 (États-Unis) ou CSA Z94.4 (Canada) ainsi qu’à d’autres exigences spécifiques aux substances, le cas échéant.

l Ne pas utiliser le respirateur à adduction d’air avant d’avoir reçu

une formation à son utilisation appropriée dispensée par une personne qualifiée.

l Ne pas utiliser le respirateur à adduction d’air dans des applica-

tions présentant un danger immédiat pour la vie ou la santé (DIVS).

l Respecter toutes les recommandations applicables des normes

ANSI, OSHA, CSA et autres réglementations concernant l’utilisation des respirateurs.

l Ne pas utiliser le respirateur à adduction d’air en cas de risque

d’incendie ou d’explosion.

l Ne pas utiliser le respirateur à adduction d’air dans des conditions

venteuses ou si une pression négative dans le capuchon est susceptible d’attirer des contaminants provenant de l’air extérieur.

l Ne pas utiliser le respirateur à adduction d’air sans plaque de pro-

tection contre les étincelles correctement installée. Sans une plaque de protection contre les étincelles, des étincelles de soudage peuvent enflammer le filtre ou endommager les filtres et ainsi permettre l’infiltration d’air non filtré dans le casque.

l Le respirateur à adduction d’air ne fournit pas d’oxygène. Utiliser

le respirateur uniquement dans des atmosphères approuvées NIOSH. Ne pas utiliser le respirateur si les niveaux d’oxygène sont inférieurs à 19,5%, si les niveaux de contaminants sont inconnus ou immédiatement dangereux pour la vie ou la santé, si les niveaux de contaminants dépassent les spécifications du respirateur à adduction d’air, dans des zones insuffisamment aérées, ou s’il est impossible de sortir sans utiliser le respirateur à adduction d’air.

l Ne pas pénétrer dans une zone dangereuse sans avoir vérifié que

le respirateur à adduction d’air est correctement assemblé, qu’il fonctionne et qu’il est porté correctement.

l Avant chaque utilisation, vérifier que l’équipement du respirateur

n’est pas endommagé et qu’il fonctionne correctement. Avant de tester le respirateur, tester le débit d’air afin de vérifier qu’il fournit un volume d’air adéquat. Nettoyer et entretenir l’équipement du respirateur conformément aux instructions du fabricant.

l Ne pas utiliser l’équipement du respirateur s’il manque des

composants du filtre ou si la soufflerie est désactivée, car des niveaux dangereux d’oxygène et de dioxyde de carbone peuvent s’accumuler dans le casque.

l Toujours porter le respirateur à adduction d’air en entrant dans

une zone contaminée. Ne pas retirer le respirateur avant de sortir de la zone contaminée.

l Des polluants dangereux peuvent être inodores et invisibles. Quit-

tez immédiatement la zone si vous remarquez l’une des situations suivantes :

– La respiration devient difficile. – Vous ressentez des étourdissements, une vision brouillée ou

une irritation oculaire, nasale ou buccale. – L’air fourni a une odeur ou saveur inhabituelle. – L’alarme du respirateur à adduction d’air retentit. – L’équipement est endommagé. Le débit d’air diminue ou

s’interrompt. – Vous pensez que l’équipement n’assure pas une protection

adéquate. Ne pas retirer l’équipement avant d’atteindre une zone sûre.

l Ne pas réparer, modifier ou démonter le respirateur à adduction

d’air et ne pas utiliser de pièces ou d’accessoires non fournis par le fabricant. Utiliser uniquement des composants approuvés par le NIOSH.

l Remplacer tout filtre endommagé ou bouché. Ne pas nettoyer ou

réutiliser des filtres. Ne pas nettoyer les filtres en les tapant ou avec de l’air comprimé, au risque d’endommager les éléments du filtre. Mettre les éléments du filtre usagés au rebut conformément à la réglementation en vigueur au niveau local, national ou fédéral.

l Le respirateur à adduction d’air doit être utilisé avec le casque, le

capuchon et les filtres recommandés par le fabricant afin de constituer un système de respirateur approuvé par le NIOSH. Voir l’étiquette du NIOSH pour de plus amples informations sur l’équipement requis.

l Ne pas utiliser la courroie et les sangles du respirateur à adduc-

tion d’air en tant que harnais de sécurité.

l Demander à une personne qualifiée de tester l’air respirable pour

vérifier qu’il répond aux exigences de grade D. Le test de l’air respirable doit être réalisé conformément à un programme de protection respiratoire rédigé (préparé par une personne qualifiée) spécifique au lieu de travail.

7-17. Installing Optional Magnifying Lens

260482-12

1 Optional Magnifying Lens

Starting at the bottom, slide magnifying lens into the helmet retaining brackets. Align the magnifying lens with the auto-darkening lens assembly. Reverse procedure to remove magnifying lens.

To prevent lens fogging, install flat side

of magnifying lens toward auto-darkening lens.

7-18. Maintenance And Storage

Do not use solvents or abrasive cleaning detergents to clean the helmet. Do not immerse the lens assembly in water.

Keep helmet dry; do not expose helmet to rain or snow. Keep helmet away from fire and other sources of heat.

The auto-darkening lens uses sensitive electronics. Do not drop helmet or handle it in a rough manner.

The helmet requires little maintenance. However, for best performance clean helmet after each use. Using a soft cloth dampened with a mild soap and water solution, wipe the cover lenses clean. Allow to air dry. Occasionally, the filter lens and sensors should be cleaned by gently wiping with a soft, dry cloth.

Store helmet in a clean, dry, cool place free of solvent-based vapors. To prevent battery from losing power, store helmet in helmet bag or in a dark location. Remove battery(s) if helmet will be stored longer than six months.

End Of Useful Life

The welding helmet has no expiration date, and with proper care and maintenance it can provide many years of eye and face protection. The helmet can continue to be used, provided that the helmet shell/shroud is undamaged (no cracks, gaps, or holes) and the lens functions normally (switches from a light state to a dark state.)

OM-287372 Page 27

Page 32

7-19. Troubleshooting

Trouble Remedy

Auto lens not On – auto-lens settings do not appear when the Mode button is pressed.

Not switching – auto-lens stays light and will not darken when welding.

Not Switching – auto-lens stays dark after the weld arc is extinguished, or the auto-lens stays dark when no arc is present.

Sections of the auto-lens are not going dark, distinct lines separate the light and dark areas.

Switching or Flickering – the auto-lens darkens then lightens while the welding arc is present.

Inconsistent or lighter auto-lens shading in the dark state, noticeable on the outside edges and corners.

Check battery and verify it is in good condition and installed properly.

Check battery surfaces and contacts and clean if necessary.

Check battery for proper contact and gently adjust contact points if necessary. This is particularly important if the helmet has been dropped.

Stop welding immediately: Press the Mode (On/Off) button.

If power is On, review the sensitivity recommendations and adjust sensitivity.

Clean lens cover and sensors of any obstructions. Make sure the sensors are facing the arc. Angles of 45° or more may not allow the arc light to reach the sensors.

Fine-tune the sensitivity setting in small increments. In extreme light conditions, it may be necessary to reduce the surrounding light levels.

Stop welding immediately: The auto-lens may be cracked which can be caused by the impact of dropping the helmet. Weld spatter on the auto lens may also cause cracking. (The lens may need to be replaced; most cracked lenses are not covered by warranty).

Review the sensitivity setting recommendations and increase the sensitivity if possible. Be sure the arc sensors are not being blocked from direct access to the arc light. Check the lens cover for dirt and spatter that may be blocking the arc sensors. Increasing Lens Delay

0.1 - 0.3 second may also reduce switching. Referred to as an angle of view effect, auto-darkening lenses have an optimum viewing angle.

The optimum viewing angle is perpendicular or 90° to the surface of the auto-lens. When that angle of view varies in the dark-state, welders may notice slightly lighter areas at the outside edges and the corners of the lens. This is normal and does not represent any health or safety hazard.

This effect may also be more noticeable in applications where magnifying lenses are used.
