Product Usage Instructions

Safety Instructions:

The SPACE 11 TRUE COLOR auto-darkening welding helmet switches from a light to a dark state when a welding arc is struck. The auto-darkening welding helmet switches back to the light state when the arc stops.

Before Welding:

The helmet is equipped with a headband that can be adjusted for width, height, longitudinal inclination, and adjustment to suit the welder.

Maintenance:

To replace the external protective screen, place a finger under the screen on point (A) of the helmet and remove the outer protection screen. Make sure to remove the protective film before replacing the screen.

To replace the internal protective screen, slide it down by placing a finger on point (A) and remove the protective screen before replacing it.

Troubleshooting:

The optoelectronic filter does not work: Activate the solar charge by exposing the cell to light for 20 to 30 minutes.
Filter stays dark after the welding arc is extinguished or when no arc is present: Check and clean detectors if needed.
Uncontrolled switching or flickering: Filter darkens and then lightens while the welding arc is present. The side of the filter is lighter than the center of the viewing area.

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 in accordance with 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 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 is 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 cell 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 headband is adjusted.
Check whether the front cover lens, the front frame, and the filter are inserted and fixed in place. In case of an anomaly, please proceed to its reconditioning.
Make sure that the sensors (4) and the cell (2) are not obstructed by dust or debris.
Make sure that the protection films on both screens are removed.
Check that the protection level matches your welding processes. Please refer to the following chart to help with your choice (cf. welding process board)
