BEFORE WELDING

Auto-Darkening welding helmet is designed to protect the welders eyes from harmful radiation including visible light, ultraviolet radiation (UV) and infra – red radiation ( IR) resulting from certain arc and gas we ld in g cesses when used in accordance with these User Instructions.
This hood can be used for any type of electric welding: MMA – SMAW / GTAW – TIG / GMAW (MIG – MAG) / FCAW (SS – GS) / ARC – AIR (GOUGING – ARC AIR CUTTING) / PAC (PLASMA CUTTING) / MICROPLASMA / LASER, with the following ranges of shade: 4-8/9-14 / Auto:7<14

WARNING
Make sure to remove any additional protection foil from both sides of Protection Lens .

PRECAUTIONS

• Never place the helmet or the ADF on hot surface.

• Use only at temperature: -5ºC to+55ºC(23ºF-131ºF).

• Do not immerse the filler in water and protect it from contact with liquid and dirt.

• The material which may contact the wearer ‘s skin can cause allergic reaction. Any welding helmet worn over standard ophthalmic spectacles may transmit impact, thus creating a hazard to the wearers in some circumstances.

• Eye protector shall only be used against high-speed particles at room temperature. Automatic welding filter shall always be used with a backing ocular.

• Unauthorized modifications and replacement parts will void the warranty and expose the operator to the risk of personal injury.

• If the auto-darkening filter does not darken when they are ignites, stop welding immediately and inspect the ADF and its power supply. Change if necessary.

• Do not use any solvents or abrasive cleaning detergent on the filler screen or helmet components.

• We recommend a usage period of 4 years. The period depends on various factors such as way of use, cleaning, storage, and maintenance. Frequent inspections and replacement in case of damage are recommended.

• Always wear safety glasses or goggles under the welding helmet and protection clothing to protect your skin from radiation, burns and spatters.

• Not suitable for driving and road use

• Protectors that have been subject to impact shall not be used and shall be discarded and replaced.

• A visual inspection is necessary before every use.

• If the impact level symbols are not equal on both the lens/filter and the frame, then it is the lower level
  that shall be assigned to the complete protector.

• The protection marked in accordance with this standard is only provided when all lens and retention
  components are installed according to the list or other manufacturer’s instructions. This device does not
  protect against physical or chemical hazards.

• If the helmet, or the filter or the cover plate is in any way damaged, they must be immediately replaced.

• Replace the device after a mechanical impact.

STORAGE AND MAINTENANCE

• When not in use helmet should be stored in a dry place within the temperature from -20ºC to +70ºC.Remove the battery or tum off the ADF before long-time storage.
• It is recommended to keep the solar cells of the auto darkening welding filler in the dark or not exposed to light during storage to maintain power down mode.
• Welding helmets should not be dropped and do not place any heavy items or tools on or inside the helmet, which may damage the electro-optical filter.
• Cleaning can be done with a soft tissue or cloth soaked in mild detergent (or alcohol). Never use aggressive solvents such as acetone.
• The user must make daily regular checks to ensure no damage is evident. Outer and inner visors are worn parts and must be replaced regularly with genuine certified universal spare parts.
• Transport the equipment with original packing box and away from direct sun light.

HELMET ADJUSTMENT
HEADGEAR ASSEMBLY

• Insert the headgear into helmet shell, as the installation order is in Fig1.”
• Adjust the headgear to make it more comfortable and put shield in the correct position according to individual preference (See Fig.2-Fig.5).

NOTE: Make sure both sides are equally positioned for proper operation.
NOTE: The distance from the eye to the filler, closer is better”

REPLACING AUTO DARKENING WELDING FILTER

• Remove the front protection plate and put the helmet face down, and press both taps in the top of the filter and push the ADF out (See Fig.9).

REPLACING PROTECTION PLATES

• lf protection plates are in any way damaged, they must be immediately replaced (See Fig.7″ &Fig.11).

BATTERY REPLACEMENT

• Remove the ADF cassette. Pull out the battery stray, and correct battery operation as indicated on the battery stray (See Fig.11).”
