Migatronic Focus ADF Welding and Grinding Helmet

WARNING
Please read and understand all instructions prior to using the Migatronic Focus ADF welding and grinding helmet.

GENERAL INFORMATION

This Migatronic Focus ADF Welding and Grinding Helmet will not protect against severe impact hazards, such as explosive devices or corrosive liquids. Machine guards or eye splash protection must be used when these hazards are present. All Migatronic ADF welding filters are suitable for arc welding or cutting applications. This unit is suitable for all arc processes such as MIG, MAG, TIG, SMAW, Plasma Arc and Carbon Arc.
Use this helmet only for face and eye protection against harmful rays, sparks and spatter from Welding, Grinding and Cutting.
The Migatronic Focus ADF helmet is not suitable for “overhead” welding applications, laser welding, laser cutting, gas welding and gas cutting.
In the event of electronic failure, the welder remains protected against UV and IR Radiation according to Shade 16.
The Migatronic auto darkening filter should always be used with original Migatronic internal and external shielding glasses.
The manufacturer is not responsible for any modifications to the welding filter or use of the filter in helmets of any other make.
Protection can be seriously impaired if unapproved modifications are made.

Please dispose of packaging for the product in a responsible manner.
It is suitable for recycling. Please help protect the environment. Take the packaging to the local waste recovery site and place into the appropriate recycling bin.
Never dispose of electrical equipment or batteries in with your domestic waste. If your supplier offers disposal facility, please use it or alternatively use your local waste recovery site and dispose in the correct manner. This will allow the recycling of raw materials and help protect the environment.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

DO AND DON’TS
Ensure the internal shielding glass is fitted before use and remove protective film. Ensure that the glass is clean and there is no dirt or spatter covering the two sensors at the front of the filter. Inspect all parts for signs of wear or damage. Any scratched or cracked parts should be replaced prior to use.
Never place the helmet on a hot surface Never open or tamper with the filter cartridge.

OPERATION

1. ADJUST THE WELDING HELMET ACCORDING TO INDIVIDUAL REQUIREMENTS
   The headband should be adjusted both in diameter and height.
   The angle between face and helmet should be adjusted. Recommended angle: 10°-12°.

2. ON/OFF
   The solar unit automatically switches on when exposed to light created by welding.

3. SELECT THE SHADE NUMBER
   The shade is infinitely adjustable between 9 and 13.
   The shade number can be selected by turning the shade knob on the side of the helmet.
   The set shade is indicated by the arrow on the knob.

4. SELECT DELAY TIME
   The delay time can be set variably between MAX (1.0 second) and MIN (0.1 second) using the delay knob on the inside of the filter. MAX – for most welding applications, especially for high amperage welding.
   MIN – typically used for tack welding and spot welding.
   Longer delay can also be used for TIG welding in order to prevent the filter from returning to the clear state when the sensor is briefly covered by the hand, torch, etc. Long delay also protects against glow from the weld pool after welding.

5. SELECT THE SENSITIVITY
   The sensitivity can be adjusted by rotating the knob on the inside of the helmet. This alters the sensitivity of the helmet to ambient light levels. On low sensitivity the filter will not switch due to sunlight or welders working nearby. On high sensitivity the helmet will respond better to small arcs or TIG welding. The set sensitivity is indicated by the arrow on the knob.

6. SELECT MODE
   To select the operational mode (weld/grind), simply turn the mode selector on the external control.
   Note! Do not weld in the Grind mode; the lens will not darken.

PARTS LIST

MAINTENANCE

REPLACEMENT OF EXTERNAL SHIELDING GLASS

• Remove the 2 thumb screws, frame and filter, then remove the external shielding glass from the recess on the inside of the helmet.
• Make sure the protective films are removed from new external shielding glasses.
• Place the new external shielding glass in the recess on the inside of the helmet, then replace the frame, filter and thumb screws.
• Only use original Migatronic shielding glasses. Use of lower-grade glasses may cause warping and allow spatter to damage the filter, so invalidating the warranty. This may also reduce the impact rating.
  NOTE – Do not use the helmet without the shielding glass in place

REPLACEMENT OF INTERNAL SHIELDING GLASS

• Remove the internal shielding glass by pulling out the top edge at the notch at the back of the filter.
• Mount the new internal shielding glass after you have removed the protective film.
• Insert the glass under the frame at one side, bend the glass in the middle and place it under the frame at the other side.

REPLACEMENT OF WELDING FILTER

• Prise off the shade adjusting knob from the outside of the helmet and unscrew the locking nut.
• Prise off the Weld / Grind knob then release the control module.
• Remove the 2 thumb screws and top frame.
• Remove the filter and mount the new filter.

INSPECTION

• Carefully inspect your Migatronic Auto Darkening Welding Filter regularly.
• Cracked or scratched filter glasses or shielding glasses reduce the field of view and seriously impair protection. They should be replaced immediately to avoid damage to the eyes.
• Inspect the complete helmet frequently and replace any worn or damaged parts

CLEANING

• Clean the helmet with mild soap and a damp cloth.
• Clean the welding filter with clean lint-free tissue or cloth.
• Do not immerse in water.
• Do not use solvents.

RECOMMENDED SHADE NUMBERS

FAULT FINDING

IRREGULAR DARKENING
• Headband has been set unevenly so the distance between the eyes and the lens is different from the left to the right.

AUTO DARKENING FILTER DOES NOT DARKEN OR FLICKERS

• External shielding glass is soiled, clean or replace it.
• Photo sensors are dirty, wipe clean with a soft lint-free cloth.
• Welding current is too low, select the slow position on the filter and ensure the view of the weld is unobstructed.
• Change to high sensitivity.

POOR VISION

• Ensure the shielding glass and the filter cartridge are clean.
• Ensure the shade number is correct and adjust accordingly.
• Ensure ambient light is not too low.
