Fu n c t i o n

The Auto-Darkening Welding Helmet is designed to protect the eyes and face from sparks, splatter, and

harmful radiation under normal welding conditions. The Auto-Darkening Filter automatically changes from

a clear state to a dark state when an arc is struck, and it returns to the clear state when welding stops.

B e f o r e W e l d i n g

The Auto-Darkening Welding Helmet comes ready for

use. Prior to first use, remove the protective film from

both sides of the lens (if not already done), adjust the

position of the headband, select the correct shade

number for the welding application, and test the helmet

for proper operation as described below.
Check the Front Lens Cover to make sure that it is

clean, and that no dirt is covering the two sensors

on the front of the Filter Cartridge. Also check the

Inside Lens Cover and the Lens Retaining Frame,

and make sure that they are secured in place.
Inspect all operating parts before each use for signs

of wear or damage. Any scratched, cracked, or

pitted parts should be replaced immediately before

using again to avoid severe personal injury.

Im p o r t a n t : Test the helmet auto-darkening filter lens

before welding. While wearing the helmet, briefly

strike an arc, keeping your face and eyes turned

slightly away, and to one side. The lens should darken

evenly when not directly facing the arc. If it does not

darken properly, do not use the Welding Helmet.
