1. Do not use the Welding Helmet if the lens is
cracked, if the lens or sensors are dirty, or if
the lens or front retaining frame is loose.
2. Keep work area clean. Cluttered
areas invite injuries.
3. Observe work area conditions. Do not use
welding helmets in damp or wet locations.
Do not expose to rain. Keep work area well
lit. Do not use auto-darkening helmets in the
presence of flammable gases or liquids.
4. Keep children away. Children must never
be allowed in the work area. Do not let them
handle this helmet. Dress properly. Do not
wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair,
clothing and gloves away from moving parts.
5. Store idle equipment. When not in use, helmets
must be stored in a dry location to inhibit rust. Always
lock up helmets and keep out of reach of children.
6. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewelry as they can be caught in moving parts.
Protective gear is essential to protect against welding
rays, some examples are: a leather welding apron,
welding sleeves, jeans without cuffs, work boots.
Wear restrictive hair covering to contain long hair.
7. Use eye and ear protection. When welding,
wear ANSI-approved impact safety goggles under
the Welding Helmet. Wear a NIOSH-approved
respirator and hearing protection when welding.
8. Stay alert. Watch what you are doing, use
common sense. Do not weld when you are tired.
9. Check for damaged parts. Before using any
helmet, any part that appears damaged should be
carefully checked to determine that it will operate
properly and perform its intended function. Check
for alignment and binding of moving parts; any
broken parts or mounting fixtures; and any other
condition that may affect proper operation. Any part
that is damaged should be properly repaired or
replaced by a qualified technician. Do not use the
helmet if any switch does not operate properly.
10. Replacement parts and accessories. When
servicing, use only identical replacement parts. Use
of any other parts can render helmet ineffective,
possibly causing eye damage, and will void
the warranty. Only use accessories intended
for use with this helmet. Approved accessories
are available from Harbor Freight Tools.
11. Do not weld if under the influence of alcohol
or drugs. Read warning labels on prescriptions to
determine if your judgment or reflexes are impaired
while taking drugs. If there is any doubt, do not weld.
12. Maintenance. For your safety, service
and maintenance should be performed
regularly only by a qualified technician.
