SAFETY

Please read and understand all instructions before using.

• Be sure that the dark shade of the lens in the welding helmet is on the correct shade number for
your application.

• The helmet and lenses are not suitable for “overhead” welding application, laser welding, or laser
cutting applications.

• Welding helmets are designed to protect the eyes and face from sparks, spatter, and harmful
radiation under normal welding conditions.

• This helmet will not protect against explosive devices or corrosive liquids. Machine guards or eye
splash protection must be used when these hazards are present.

• Impact resistant, primary eye protection, spectacles or goggles that meet current ANSI
specifications, must be worn at all times when using this welding helmet.

• Avoid work positions that could expose unprotected areas of the body to sparks, spatter, direct
and/or reflected radiation. Use appropriate protection if exposure cannot be avoided.

• Before each use, check that the protection plates are clean and that no dirt is covering the sensors
on the front of the lens.

• Inspect all operating parts before each use for signs of wear or damage. Any scratched, cracked,
or pitted parts should be replaced immediately.

• Do not make any modifications to either the welding lens or helmet, other than those specified
in this manual. Do not use any replacement parts other than those specified in this manual.
Unauthorised modifications and replacement parts will void the warranty and expose the user to
the risk of personal injury.

• If this lens does not darken when striking arc, stop welding immediately and check the helmet
is in Weld Mode and not Grind Mode. If the issue persists, contact your local UNIMIG Service
Department.

• Do not immerse this lens in water.

• Do not use any solvents on any lens or helmet components.

• The recommended operating temperature range for this welding lens is -10°C to 65°C (14°F-149°F ).
Do not use this device beyond these temperature limits.

• Failure to follow these warnings and/or failure to follow all of the operating instructions could result
in severe personal injury.

FEATURES

The RWX6000 Welding Helmet is equipped with an automatic darkening filter. The filter is transparent
before welding so that the operator may observe the work surface clearly. When striking the arc, the
filter darkens automatically immediately. When the arc goes out, the filter will become transparent
again. The switching time from light to dark is 0.08 ms. The switching time from dark to light may be
set up within 0.1-0.9 second.

The helmet is equipped with a continuous darkness-adjusting unit so that the operator may select an
arbitrary dark shade number ranging from 5-9 or 9-13. The helmet also features 3 memory states to
save desired settings.

The RWX6000 Welding Helmet gives the operator permanent complete protection against UV/IR,
even in the transparent state. The UV/IR protection level is up to DIN15. The power is provided by
solar cells and a replaceable battery.

The helmet is equipped with four photosensors to sense arc light. In addition, the helmet contains an
outer protection shell made of high polymer materials. The plate is wear-resistant, thermostable, and
has no dregs-sticking, giving a very long service life.

The RWX6000 Welding Helmet is a TRUE COLOUR VIEW welding helmet. With advanced TRUE
COLOUR VIEW technology, the users can weld with improved clarity due to new Blue Optical Coating
technology, grind with precision while in grind mode and finally see the job performance in the light
state in the full spectrum of colours. There is now no need to remove the helmet to see clearly!
