Auto-Darkening welding helmets are designed to protect the eye and face from sparks, spatter and harmful radiation under normal welding conditions. Auto- Darkening filter automatically changes from light state to dark state when welding arc is struck, and it returns to the light state when welding stops.
The Auto-Darkening welding helmet comes assembled. But before it can be used, it must be adjusted to fit the user properly. Set up for delay time, sensitivity and shade number for your application.
The helmet should be stored in dry, cool and dark area and remember to remove the battery before long-time storage.

• The materials which may come into contact with the wearer’s skin can cause allergic reactions in some circumstances.
• The ADF shall only be used in conjunction with the inner cover lens.
• The eye-protectors against high speed particles worn over standard ophthalmic spectacles may transmit impacts, thus creating a hazard to the wearer.
• Toughened mineral filter oculars shall only be used in conjunction with a suitable backing ocular.
• If the symbols F or B are not common to both the ocular and the frame then it is the lower level which shall be assigned to the complete eye-protection.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

WARNING! Before using the helmet for welding, ensure that you have read and understood the safety instructions.
Information manual for the G40/G50 welder protective helmets comply with Para 1.4 of Appendix II of the EC Regulations.
G40/G50 helmets offer permanent protection against UV/IR rays, also face and eye protection from sparks caused by the welding process.
Do not look directly at the welding rays with unprotected eyes when the arc strikes. This can cause painful inflammation of the cornea and irreparable damage to the lens of the eye leading to cataracts.

RANGE OF APPLICATION

• WARNING! Before using the helmet for welding, ensure that you have read and understood the safety instructions.
• ESAB welding helmets and welding filters can be used for the majority of the arc welding applications and for TIG where stated. The welding filters provide protection against harmful UV- and IR-radiation according to the requirement for shade number marked on each passive of automatic (ADF) model; eye protection remains as long as the flip up is in the down position covering the vision.

The following chart is presented as a reference for the selection of the most suitable shade for the welding filter:

PREPARATION & OPERATION

ESAB G40/G50 welding helmets are fully assembled and ready to be used after minor adjustments. All welding helmets are equipped with a comfortable headgear that can be adjusted in four different ways:

• Push and move to adjust the “Head height”
• “Rake adjustment” to limit the upper and lower helmet positioning
• Push and turn to adjust the “Head size”
• Turn to adjust the “Distance from face”

1. Push and move “Head height”
2. Rake adjustment”
3. Push and turn “Head size”
4. Turn “Distance from face”

Before commencing work please inspect carefully the welding helmet and the passive glass for any visible marks, cracks, pitted or scratched surfaces; damaged surfaces even on protection plates reduce vision impair protection. If protection plates are scratched, damaged or built up with spatter please replace.
Welding helmets should not be dropped. Do not place heavy objects or tools on or inside the helmet as they might damage the components. If used properly the welding filter requires no further maintenance during its lifetime.
