Preparations for Use
FILTERS:
Before you begin welding always inspect your filter to ensure it is not damaged. Check to see if
the filter protection plates (cover plates) are clean, clear, undamaged, and securely attached to the
helmet and covering the auto-darkening filter both front and rear.
To test your filter, prior to welding, direct the front of the filter to a bright source of light then, using
your fingers, rapidly cover and uncover the sensors. The filter will darken momentarily.
Another means of testing is to utilize a torch striker or TV or VCR remote. These devices will also
momentarily darken the filter. Once you are sure that the filter is working properly you are now
ready to begin welding.
WARNING, never begin welding without first checking to see if the correct front protection plate
is in place, the filter is secured properly in the filter holder, and the filter holder secured in the helmet
(See Part Selection Guide section for part numbers). Failure to protect the welding filter or install
the filter / filter holder correctly may cause damage and become a safety hazard should the UV/IR
protection be compromised from spatter or cracks from impact. DAMAGE CAUSED BY ABUSE
SUCH AS EXCESSIVE TEMPERATURES, CRACKS FROM IMPACT, AND PITTING FROM SPATTER
CAUSED BY POOR MAINTENANCE WILL VOID WARRANTY.
WELDING HELMETS:
Before you begin welding make sure there is no damage to the helmet shell including, but not
limited to cracks, holes, and melting. Ensure that the springs holding the filter are not broken
or corroded. Do not use the helmet if any of these conditions exist and contact your distributor for
replacement parts.
WARNING, other safety precautions such as protective clothing, adequate ventilation, breathing
protection, such as a Clean Air Flow PAPR, SAR or equal, fire extinguisher, and protection for co-
workers, should also be considered.
WARNING, Materials which may come into contact with the
wearer’s skin could cause allergic reactions to susceptible
individuals.
The Welding Helmet is equipped with a headgear that has both
crown (height) and circumference adjustments (see Figure 1).
Adjust the crown height via the pin/hole adjustment on the top
strap of the headgear. The circumference is easily adjusted by
means of a knob located at the back; this adjustment can be
performed as you wear your welding helmet.
