SECTION 1 − WELDING HELMET SAFETY PRECAUTIONS −
READ BEFORE USING
helmet 2009−10
Protect yourself and others from injury — read and follow these precautions.
1-1. Symbol Usage
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 the hazards.
Indicates special instructions.
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.
1-2. Arc Welding Hazards
Only qualified persons should install, operate, maintain, and repair this unit.
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.
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 Safety Standards). Refer to Shade
and Sensitivity charts.
Wear approved safety glasses with side shields under your helmet.
Use protective screens or barriers to protect others from flash, glare, and sparks; warn
others not to watch the arc.
Wear protective clothing made from durable, flame-resistant material (leather, heavy cotton,
and wool) and foot protection.
• Before welding, adjust the auto-darkening lens sensitivity setting to meet the application.
• Stop welding immediately if the auto-darkening lens does not darken when the arc is struck.
See the Owner’s Manual for more information.
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.
Use impact resistant safety spectacles or goggles and ear protection at all times when using
this welding helmet.
Do not use this helmet while working with or around explosives or corrosive liquids.
Do not weld in the overhead position while using this helmet.
Inspect the auto-lens frequently. Immediately replace any scratched, cracked, or pitted cover
lenses or auto-lenses.
WELDING HELMETS do not provide unlimited eye, ear and
face protection.
OM-246 377 Page 2
Noise from some processes or equipment can damage hearing.
Wear approved ear protection if noise level is high.
NOISE can damage hearing.
READ INSTRUCTIONS.
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.
Use only genuine replacement parts from the manufacturer.
Perform 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.
Keep your head out of the fumes. Do not breathe the fumes.
If inside, ventilate the area and/or use local forced ventilation at the arc to remove welding
fumes and gases.
If ventilation is poor, wear an approved air-supplied respirator.
Read and understand the Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs) and the manufacturer’s
instructions for metals, consumables, coatings, cleaners, and degreasers.
Work in a confined space only if it is well ventilated, or while wearing 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.
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.
Do not weld on coated metals, such as galvanized, lead, or cadmium plated steel, unless the
coating is removed from the weld area, the area is well ventilated, and while wearing an airsupplied respirator. The coatings and any metals containing these elements can give off toxic
fumes if welded.

1 Lens Delay Control
The lens delay control is used to
adjust the time for the lens to switch
to the clear state after welding.
The delay is particularly useful in
eliminating bright after-rays present in higher amperage applications where the molten puddle remains bright momentarily after
welding. Adjusts from slow to fast.

1 Sensitivity Control
Weld Mode
Use control to make the lens more responsive to different light levels in various welding processes. Use a Mid-Range or
30−50% sensitivity setting for most ap-
plications.
It may be necessary to adjust helmet sensitivity to accommodate different lighting conditions or if lens is flashing On and Off. Adjust helmet sensitivity as follows:
Adjust helmet sensitivity in lighting con-
ditions helmet will be used in.
Turn sensitivity control to lowest set-
ting.
Press Reset button to turn helmet On.
Helmet lens will darken twice and then
clear.
Face the helmet in the direction of use,
exposing it to the surrounding light conditions.
Gradually turn sensitivity setting clock-
wise until the lens darkens, then turn
sensitivity control counterclockwise
until slightly past setting where lens
clears. Helmet is ready for use. Slight
readjustment may be necessary for
certain applications or if lens is flashing
on and off.
Grind Mode
Do not weld in the Grind mode; the lens
will not darken.
To use the Grind mode, turn the Sensitivity
control counterclockwise to the far left position (Grind). To resume welding, return the
control to the desired sensitivity setting.

4-1. Helmet Configurations (Titanium 9400 Series Helmets)
1 Titanium 9400 Helmet
The 9400 helmet features a largeview, fixed position, auto-darkening
lens and is designed for standard
welding applications.
2 Titanium 9400i Helmet
The 9400i helmet features a flip-up
auto-darkening lens and a separate,
clear grinding shield. Flip the lens up
when grinding and performing other
non-welding work. Flip the lens down
when welding or cutting.
