Operation:

1. Put on the welding helmet. The unit will switch on automatically.
2. Ensure that you can see your workpiece and the surrounding area clearly.
3. Try a strike. The viewing window will immediately switch to the darkness shade you have set. If it doesn’t, readjust the sensitivity. If the issue persists, stop immediately and check the welding helmet before further use.
4. After finishing work, always turn the sensitivity control to Low.
5. Place the helmet down with the face shield facing downwards to automatically switch off the unit.

Maintenance and Care:

Proper maintenance and care are essential to ensure the longevity and performance of the Auto Darkening Welding Helmet.

Introduction

Thank you for purchasing this quality product. To minimise the risk of injury we urge that our clients take some basic safety precautions when using this device. Please read the operation instruc-tions carefully and make sure you have understood its content.
Keep these operation instructions safe.

• It is your job to protect yourself and others from the hazards associated with welding. To do this, you must familiarize yourself with the safety regulations for arc welding, the handling of high-pressure gas cylinders and the general safety regulations.
• Arc welding produces fumes that are a potential health hazard. Always provide adequate venti-lation.
• Never carry out welding work without adequate eye protection.
• Always wear appropriate safety equipment when welding.
• Make sure that the welding helmet is suitable for the work you intend to do and that all parts and components are in good working order.
• Make sure that the solar cells that supply power to the welding helmet are in good working order and ready for use.
• Adjust the headgear according to your head size.
• Set the dark shade state to the correct scale number according to the shade scale. Make sure that the shade scale number you have chosen is correct and appropriate for the work to be done.
• Warning! Make sure that the power supply is correct and ready for use. If not, replace immediately with a new filter unit. Never use a welding helmet without power.
• If the welding current is high, set the sensitivity control to “Low.”
• Always check the front cover of the welding protection filter and make sure that it is clean and that no dirt is covering the sensors of the filter cartridge.
• Check all parts of the welding protection filter and replace them if they are worn or damaged. Scratches, cracks, or dents can cause serious injury.
• The welding helmet is equipped with an automatic switch-on function. When you put on the welding helmet, the power turns on automatically.
• The welding helmet is not suitable for laser welding.
• The welding helmet and the filter cartridge must not be placed on hot surfaces.
• Never dismantle the auto-darkening filter.
• The welding helmet does not protect against heavy impacts.
• The welding helmet does not protect against explosive devices or corrosive liquids. Do not make any modifications to the filter or helmet that are not described in this manual. Do not use spare parts that are not specified in this manual. Unauthorized modifications and the use of unsuitable spare parts will void the warranty and increase the risk of property damage and personal injury.
• If the welding helmet does not darken when the arc is ignited, stop welding immediately and have the welding helmet checked by a qualified specialist.
• The welding helmet may only be used at temperatures from -5 ℃ to 55 ℃.

Shade Setting

• Turn the shade pre-set knob to a suitable scale according to the welding procedure and the welding table. The shade scale can be manually adjusted continuously between DIN 9 and DIN 13.
• The sensitivity is adjusted with the sensitivity control. The sensitivity can be adjusted clockwise from low to high. When the welding current is high, the sensitivity must be low, and when the welding current is low or when welding with direct current, the sensitivity must be high. The sensitivity must be set according to the welding process. If the welding ampere and DC current are low, the pulse values are low or non-pulse welding is used, a high sensitivity must be used.
• The recovery time can be adjusted with the delay control. Depending on the welder’s needs, the recovery time can be set from 0.1 s to 0.8 s.
• When the knob is turned to “grind,” the darkening function is switched off, allowing a clear view for grinding a weld. The helmet then serves as a face shield. Make sure that the shade function is turned back on before welding again.

Warning! Do not weld in direct sunlight when using this welding helmet!

Operation

When you are sure that you are familiar with all the above information and everything is ready for using the welding helmet, follow the instructions below:

When you put on the welding helmet, the unit switches on automatically.

1. Put the helmet on. At this moment you should be able to see your workpiece and the surround-ing area clearly.
2. Try a strike. The viewing window will immediately switch to the darkness shade you have set. Otherwise, readjust the sensitivity. If this fails, stop immediately and check the welding helmet. Do not use the helmet if you are not sure that it is working properly.
3. Always turn the sensitivity control to “Low” when you have finished working. Put the helmet down with the face shield facing downwards so that the unit switches off automatically.

Caution!

• When welding with low ampere, DC welding or low/non-pulse welding, keep away from strong ambient light, especially direct sunlight.
• When the welding helmet is removed or stored, the filter sensors of the helmet should always point downwards and the sensitivity control should be turned to “Low.”

Maintenance and care

• There are no components/parts that need to be repaired by the user.
• The user must not remove the automatic blackout filter. The filter must be removed by a qualified professional.
• The welding helmet can be cleaned with a clean, lint-free fabric or cotton cloth.
• Do not immerse the visor in water or other liquids. Never use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or oil-based cleaners.
• Do not attempt to open the auto-darkening welding filter.
• Do not immerse the filter in water.
• Do not use solvents on the filter or the helmet parts.
• Protect the filter from contact with liquids and dirt.
• Clean the surfaces of the filter regularly. Do not use harsh cleaning solutions. Always keep the sensors and solar cells clean with a clean, lint-free cloth.
• Replace the face shield regularly if it is cracked, scratched, or chipped.

Storage

• The helmet and the welding filter must be stored in a dry, well-ventilated place. Do not expose the helmet to direct sunlight.
• The storage temperature is –20 ℃ to +70 ℃.
• Make sure that the welding filter does not get dirty.
