GYSMATIC 5.13 XXL Air Fed Welding

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• This user’s manual includes information on the operation
  of the equipment and the precautions to be followed for the user’s safety. Please read it carefully before first use and keep it in a safe place for future reference.

• These instructions must be read and understood before any operation. Any modification or maintenance not indicated in the manual must not be undertaken.

• Any damage to persons or property caused by use, not by the instructions in this manual shall not be borne by the manufacturer. In the event of a problem or uncertainty, consult a qualified person to handle the product correctly.

• Use the welding helmet only for eye and face protection against harmful ultraviolet and infrared radiation, sparks, and spatter from welding.

• Never look directly at welding arcs without eye protection when the arc is initiated. Failure to do so may cause painful inflammation of the cornea and potentially irreversible damage to the lens which may result in cataracts.

• Look out! The danger of injury is if a person wearing a mask and goggles is hit by particles thrown at high speed.

• The mask, filter, and shields do not guarantee unlimited protection against major shocks or impacts, explosive mechanisms, or corrosive liquids. Avoid welding or cutting in these severe environments.

• Do not weld or cut above his head with this mask.

• Move his face away from the smoky area. Use forced ventilation or local exhaust to remove smoke.

• Oxyacetylene, laser or gas welding, and cutting are not permitted with this mask.

Before each use

• Carefully inspect the mask and its UV/IR filter.
• Replace worn or damaged parts immediately.
• Replace filter lenses or face shields if they are cracked or scratched to prevent damage to the user’s eyes.
• The headband can potentially cause allergies in sensitive individuals.
• The operating temperatures of the optoelectronic filter are from -5°C to +55°C.
• The optoelectronic filter in the mask is not waterproof and will not function properly if it has been in contact with water.
• The welding mask must be moved carefully to avoid damage to the filter, guards, and/or protective shell.

Maintenance

• Do not place heavy objects or tools on or in the facepiece to avoid damage to the filter or face shields.
• Mask storage temperatures range from -10°C to +60°C.
• Clean the Optoelectronic Filter with a clean cotton or special lens cloth.
• Regularly clean and change the guard screens.
• Clean the inside and outside of the mask with a neutral detergent disinfectant. Do not use solvents.
• Make sure that the sensors and cells are not obstructed by dust or debris.
• We recommend using the mask and visors for 5 years.
• The length of use depends on various factors such as type of use, cleaning, storage, and maintenance.

BEFORE WELDING

• Check that the welding helmet is in good condition and adjust the headband.
• Check whether the front cover lens, the front frame, and the filter are inserted and fixed in place. In case of problems, please recondition.
• Make sure that the 4 sensors (9) and the cell (8) are not obstructed by dust or debris.
• Make sure that the protection films on both screens are removed.
• Make sure that the red light (4) is off, otherwise change the batterie (11).
• Check that the protection level matches your welding processes. Please refer to the following chart to help with your choice (cf. welding process board)

1

| | ● Potentiometer «WELD / GRIND» :

The « WELD / GRIND « potentiometer is used to adjust the shade according to the selected adjustment range (5-9 or 9-13).

For non-welding operations such as grinding, it is possible to disconnect the sensor by switching the potentiometer to the «GRIND» mode. The LED flashes to indicate that the sensor is disconnected.

CAUTION: Make sure to switch back to «WELD» mode before any welding operation.

•  Internal sensitivity potentiometer: Sensitivity adjustment according to :

–  Light ambient: Without welding, turn the sensitivity setting towards «max», then turn the sensitivity setting towards «low» until the filter lightens.

–  Welding process: «Max» position for low amperage TIG process / Medium range for most applications.

3

•  Internal delay potentiometer: Time to get the clear state back.

Delay is designed for slower switching time to clear state to eliminate remaining bright rays.

---|---|---
4| | The internal shade range selector allows you to choose the shade range between 5-9 or 9-13.

PRECAUTIONS

• The welding helmet is suitable for use with virtually all welding processes except Oxy-Acetylene welding, laser welding, and gas.
• Standard protective screens must be installed on both the inside and outside surfaces of the module. Failure to use protective screens may constitute a safety hazard or result in irreparable damage to the module.

HEADBAND ADJUSTMENT

The headband HG-2003 is lightweight and ergonomic. Its 3-point adjustable balance design provides more flexibility and comfort.

1. Headband adjustment
2. Headband slider(with 5 slots)
3. Block washer adjustment
4. Longitudinal adjustment

MAINTENANCE

• Expiration date: No expiration date for this product but the state of the Hermès GYSMATIC LCD 5/13 XXL welding helmet must be checked before each use.
• The GYSMATIC LCD 5/13 XXL must not be dropped
• Do not put any heavy tools/objects in or on the helmet in order not to damage the filter or the protective screens.
• The deterioration of the optoelectronic filter or its protective screen can reduce the vision field or the protection level. Replace the damaged parts.
• Do not use any tools or other sharp objects to remove any components of the filter or helmet. Doing so may damage the filter or helmet, preventing proper function, and possibly causing injury or cancellation of the warranty.
• Clean the filter with a clean cotton or lens cloth.
• Clean and change protective screens regularly.
• Clean the inside and the outside of the helmet with a neutral disinfectant product.
• Do not use any solvent.

REPLACEMENT OF INSIDE AND OUTSIDE PROTECTIVE SCREENS

1. Unscrew the fixation screw (A).
2. Replace the internal (B) on the LCD filter.
3. Replace the external screen (C).
4. Put the fixing back and screw it on (A).

REPLACING BATTERIE

The optoelectronic filter requires one 3V lithium battery (CR2450).
Follow the instructions below to change batteries:

• Pull the cover (11) and then remove the battery.
• Place a new battery in position. Polarity «+» must stay visible.
• Put the cover back (11).
• We recommend replacing the battery once a year.

CAUTION

• Recycle used lithium batteries. In Europe, batteries are considered as dangerous waste.
• Do not throw it in the bin. Drop off only in the collection point for used batteries.

SYMPTOMS AND SOLUTIONS

The optoelectronic filter does not work.

| Activate the solar charge by exposing the cell to the light between 20 to 30 minutes – Check and change the battery if necessary.
---|---
Check that the range is 5-9 or 9-13 with the «WELD» button.
The filter stays dark after the weld arc is extinguished or when no arc is present.| Check and clean detectors if needed.

Adjust the sensitivity knob to the lower position (level 1). If the welding place is extremely bright, it is recommended to reduce the light level.

Uncontrolled and sparkling switching: The filter lightens and darkens when welding.| Check arc sensors are not blocked from direct access to the arc light. Set the sensitivity level to 5.
The side of the filter is lighter than the center of the viewing area.| It is a natural feature of LCDs, this symptom is not dangerous for the eyes. However, for maximum comfort, try to keep a view angle at around 90°.

SAFETY LABEL
