READ BEFORE USING
helmet 2012−02
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.
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.
1-2. Arc Welding Hazards
Only qualified persons should install, operate, maintain, and repair this unit.
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.
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 Lens
Shade Selection table in Section 1-4.
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.
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.
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.
OM-256 016 Page 1
NOISE can damage hearing.
Noise from some processes or equipment can damage hearing.
Wear approved ear protection if noise level is high.
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 air-
supplied respirator. The coatings and any metals containing these elements can give off toxic
fumes if welded.
1-3. Proposition 65 Warnings
Welding or cutting equipment produces fumes or gases which contain chemicals known
to the State of California to cause birth defects and, in some cases, cancer. (California
Health & Safety Code Section 25249.5 et seq.)
This product contains chemicals, including lead, known to the state of California to cause
cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after use.

(Titanium 7300 And 9400 Series Helmets)
1
The auto-darkening lens
on Titanium 7300 and
9400 Series Helmets
turns on (darkens) automatically when welding
begins and turns off
when welding stops.
1 Auto On/Off Button
Press Auto On/Off button to
check if the lens is working
properly and to begin Mode
and Info adjustments.
When the On/Off button is
pressed, the lens should
darken and return to the
clear state. Do not use the
helmet if the lens does not
function as described. (See
Section 10, Troubleshooting.)
2 Grind / Low Battery Light

The Grind / Low Battery light
blinks when the lens is in the
Grind mode. Light stays on
when 2−3 days of battery life
remain.
If battery power is low, replace with CR2450 lithium
batteries (2 required − Miller
Part No. 217 043). See Section 7.

1 Mode Control Button
2 External Grind Mode
Button
Press Mode button to select
the mode appropriate for the
work activity:
Weld Mode − used for most
welding applications. In this
mode the lens turns on
when it optically senses a
welding arc. Adjust shade,
sensitivity, and delay set-
tings as needed.
Cut Mode − used for cutting
applications. In this mode
the lens turns on when it optically senses a cutting arc.
Adjust shade, sensitivity,
and delay settings as needed.
OM-256 016 Page 8
! If nearby objects
may inadvertently
contact the extern-
al Grind Mode but-
ton while you are
welding, unplug
the Grind Mode
button to prevent
accidental activa-
tion of the Grind
mode.
Grind Mode − used for met-
al grinding applications. In
this mode the shade is fixed
shade No. 3. No lens adjustments are possible.
Use external Grind Mode
button to select grinding
mode without raising hel-
met.
To use Grind mode, push
and hold the external Grind
button for two seconds.
Push Grind Mode button
again to turn off Grind mode.
X Mode − used for outdoor
or low current welding ap-
plications. In this mode the
lens turns on when it senses
weld current. Adjust shade,
sensitivity, and delay set-
tings as needed.
Nearby welding may af-
fect helmet operation
when lens is in X-Mode.
Stay at least 12 ft (3.7
m) away from other
welding activity.
3-5. Variable Shade Control (Titanium 7300 And 9400 Series Helmets)

1 Variable Shade
Adjustment Buttons
2 Mode Control Button
Use the LTR and DKR ad-
justment buttons to adjust
the lens shade in the dark-
ened state. Use the table in
Section 1-4 to select proper
shade control setting based
on your welding process.
The shade ranges for each
mode are as follows:
Weld − No. 8 − No. 13
Cut − No. 5 − No. 8
1
Grind − No. 3 only
X Mode − No. 8 − No. 13
Start at the highest setting
and adjust lighter to suit the
application and your person-
al preference.
Variable Shade Adjustment Procedure
Press Auto On/Off but-
ton to turn lens On. Helmet lens will darken
twice and then clear.
Press Mode Control
Button to select desired
function: Weld, Cut, or
X-Mode.
Use LTR and DKR ad-
justment buttons to se-
lect desired shade.
Begin welding or contin-
ue with other lens adjustments.

2
1 Lens Delay Adjustment
Buttons
2 Mode Control Button
Use the Lens Delay Short
and Long buttons to adjust
the time for the lens to switch
to the clear state after weld-
ing or cutting.
The delay is particularly use-
ful in eliminating bright after-rays present in higher
amperage applications
where the molten puddle remains bright momentarily after welding. Use the Lens
Delay Control buttons to adjust delay from 0 to 10 (0.1 to
1.0 second).
OM-256 016 Page 10

The delay ranges for each
mode are as follows:
Weld, Cut, X Modes − 0 − 10
Grind Mode − No delay ad-
justment
There is no lens delay
adjustment in the Grind
mode.
Lens Delay Adjustment
Procedure
Press Auto On/Off but-
ton to turn helmet On.
Helmet lens will darken
twice and then clear.
Press Mode button to se-
lect desired function:
Weld, Cut, or X-Mode.
Use Short and Long ad-
justment buttons to select desired delay.
Begin welding or contin-
ue with other lens adjustments.
