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 ultra violet 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! 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 opto-electronic 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 whether the front cover lens, the front frame and filter are inserted and fixed in place. In case of anomalie, please proceed to its reconditionning.
• Make sure that the 2 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 your choice (cf. welding process board)

PRECAUTIONS

• The welding helmet is suitable for use with virtually all welding processes except Oxy-Acetylene welding, laser welding and gas welding.
• Standard protective screens must be installed on both 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 TECHNO LCD 11 TRUE COLOR is equipped with a headband which can be adjsuted in multiple ways to suit the welder: width, height (1), longitudinal inclination (3) and adjustment (2).

• Do not use any tools or other sharp objects to remove any components of filter or helmet. Doing so may damage filter or helmet preventing proper function, possibly causing injury or cancellation of the warranty.

REPLACING THE EXTERNAL PROTECTIVE SCREEN

The outer protection screen (2) can be removed by placing a finger under the screen on (A) of the helmet (1).
When changing the screen, make sure that the protective film (3) has been removed. This film must be removed only when the protection screen is in position in the helmet.

TROUBLESHOOTING

The optoelectronic filter does not work| Activate the solar charge by exposing the cell to the light for 20 to 30 minutes
---|---
Filter stays dark after the weld 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| Check arc sensors are not blocked from direct access to the arc light.
Side of the filter is lighter than the center of viewing area| It is a natural feature of LCD’s, this symptom is not dangerous for the eyes. However for a maximum comfort, try to keep a viewing angle of around 90°
