• If ventilation is poor, use an approved air-supply respiratory system.
• Wear approved ear protection if the noise level is high.
• Wear protective clothing and gloves made from durable, flame-resistant materials and foot protection to protect your and your helper’s skin.

BEFORE FIRST USE

The grinding visor is fully assembled and ready to be used after minor preparations and adjustments:

1. Remove the protective layers/films that covers the screen must be removed from both sides
2. Check if there are any manufacturing defects such as bubbles, cracks and deep scratches.
3. Adjust the headgear assembly by pressing + rotating the adjustment knob at the rear for a proper fit on the user’s head.
4. Adjust the length of the top straps to vary the height and adjust the depth and angle of the helmet shell by slightly losing the knobs on both sides.
5. Tighten the knobs on both side of the helmet shell with care to adjust the friction which holds the shell in up (parking position) and down (working position).

PREPARATION FOR USE / USAGE

Before using the grinding visor the following checks need to be carried out according to the following procedure:

• Check if the visor is clean and can be seen through.
• Ensure the lens/grinding screen is correctly located and firmly fitted to the helmet.
• Check if there are any defects such as bubbles, cracks and deep scratches. Exchange the protection plate if necessary.
• Be sure the visor is seated properly (flat) to prevent fogging.

Big Vision Air (Grinding visor prepared for air) only:
Attaching the air hose to a Böhler helmet prepared for air: Align the pins of the hose bayonet connector with the slots in the air duct. Push the bayonet connector into the air duct until it reaches the bottom of the hole and then rotate it gently until the locating pins clip into place.

Directing the airflow inside the helmet: Regulate the amount of air that is guided to your forehead by opening/ closing the rotating knob on the inside of the shell above the viewing area. (see p.4 – Fig. 3 )

Fitting the face-seal: When the connected blower is switched on lower the helmet to its down position. Pull the faceseal with the respective tap over the chin and fit it properly around your face and chin. The protective factor of the complete system is reduced if the seal of the helmet is not fitted properly, for example due to beards or long hair intervening into the seal line.

MAINTENANCE / SERVICE

The user is advised to make regular checks to ensure no damage is evident. The grinding screen is a wear part and must be replace with original Böhler Welding spare parts (see “7. PART LIST”).

Replacing the screen (protection plate)

1. Ensure that the grinding visor is always fitted with a screen/ protection plate.
2. The screen must be replaced if broken, damaged or covered with grinding spatter to the extent that vision is impaired.
3. The screen is a consumable and must be replaced regularly with genuine certified spare parts from Böhler Welding.

Replacing the headgear
Exchange the headgear by unscrewing the knobs on the outside of the shell. Replace the headgear and tighten the new one back in as per the illustration (see p. 5 – Fig. 4)
