Protect yourself and others from injury — read, follow, and save these important safety

precautions and operating instructions.

1-1. Symbol Usage

This group of symbols means Warning! Watch

Out! ELECTRIC SHOCK, MOVING PARTS,

and HOT PARTS hazards. Consult symbols

and related instructions below for necessary

actions to avoid the hazards.

 Indicates special instructions.

DANGER! − Indicates a hazardous

situation which, if not avoided, will

result in death or serious injury. The

possible hazards are shown in the

adjoining symbols or explained in

the text.

Indicates a hazardous situation

which, if not avoided, could result in

death or serious injury. The possible

hazards are shown in the adjoining

symbols or explained in the text.

NOTICE − Indicates statements not related to

personal injury.

1-2. Arc Welding Hazards

Only qualified persons should install, operate, maintain, and repair this unit.

Arc rays from the welding process produce intense visible and invisible (ultravio-

let and infrared) rays that can burn eyes and skin. Sparks fly off from the weld.

 Wear a welding helmet fitted with a proper shade of filter to protect your face and eyes when

welding or watching (see ANSI Z49.1 and Z87.1 listed in Safety Standards). Refer to Lens

Shade Selection table in Section 1-4.

 Wear approved safety glasses with side shields under your helmet.

 Use protective screens or barriers to protect others from flash, glare, and sparks; warn

others not to watch the arc.

 Wear body protection made from durable, flame−resistant material (leather, heavy cotton,

wool). Body protection includes oil-free clothing such as leather gloves, heavy shirt, cuffless

trousers, high shoes, and a cap.

• Before welding, adjust the auto-darkening lens sensitivity setting to meet the application.

• Stop welding immediately if the auto-darkening lens does not darken when the arc is struck.

See the Owner’s Manual for more information.

ARC RAYS can burn eyes and skin.

OM-269 681 Page 2

WELDING HELMETS do not provide unlimited eye, ear, and

face protection.

Arc rays from the welding process produce intense visible and invisible (ultraviolet

and infrared) rays that can burn eyes and skin. Sparks fly off from the weld.

 Use impact resistant safety spectacles or goggles and ear protection at all times when using

this welding helmet.

 Do not use this helmet while working with or around explosives or corrosive liquids.

 Do not weld in the overhead position while using this helmet.

 Inspect the auto-lens frequently. Immediately replace any scratched, cracked, or pitted cover

lenses or auto-lenses.

NOISE can damage hearing.

Noise from some processes or equipment can damage hearing.

 Wear approved ear protection if noise level is high.

READ INSTRUCTIONS.

 Read and follow all labels and the Owner’s Manual carefully before in-

stalling, operating, or servicing unit. Read the safety information at the be-

ginning of the manual and in each section.

 Use only genuine replacement parts from the manufacturer.

 Perform maintenance and service according to the Owner’s Manuals, industry standards,

and national, state, and local codes.

FUMES AND GASES can be hazardous.

Welding produces fumes and gases. Breathing these fumes and gases can be

hazardous to your health.

 Keep your head out of the fumes. Do not breathe the fumes.

 If inside, ventilate the area and/or use local forced ventilation at the arc to remove welding

fumes and gases. The recommended way to determine adequate ventilation is to sample for

the composition and quantity of fumes and gases to which personnel are exposed.

 If ventilation is poor, wear an approved air-supplied respirator.

 Read and understand the Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) and the manufacturer’s instructions for

adhesives, coatings, cleaners, consumables, coolants, degreasers, fluxes, and metals.

 Work in a confined space only if it is well ventilated, or while wearing an air-supplied respirator.

Always have a trained watchperson nearby. Welding fumes and gases can displace air and

lower the oxygen level causing injury or death. Be sure the breathing air is safe.

 Do not weld in locations near degreasing, cleaning, or spraying operations. The heat and rays

of the arc can react with vapors to form highly toxic and irritating gases.

 Do not weld on coated metals, such as galvanized, lead, or cadmium plated steel, unless the

coating is removed from the weld area, the area is well ventilated, and while wearing an air-

supplied respirator. The coatings and any metals containing these elements can give off toxic

fumes if welded.

OM-269 681 Page 3

1-3. Proposition 65 Warnings

NOTICE − Never use solvents or abrasive cleaning detergents.

NOTICE − Do not immerse the lens assembly in water.

The helmet requires little maintenance. However, for best performance clean after each use. Using

a soft cloth dampened with a mild soap and water solution, wipe the cover lenses clean. Allow to air

dry. Occasionally, the filter lens and sensors should be cleaned by gently wiping with a soft, dry cloth.

OM-269 681 Page 23

SECTION 9 − TROUBLESHOOTING

Trouble Remedy

Auto lens not On – auto-

lens will not darken.

Check batteries and verify they are in good condition and installed

properly.

Check battery surfaces and contacts and clean if necessary.

Check battery for proper contact and gently adjust contact points

if necessary. This is particularly important if the helmet has been

dropped.

Not switching – auto-lens

stays light and will not

darken when welding.

Stop welding immediately: Press the Auto On/Off button.

If power is On, review the sensitivity recommendations and adjust

sensitivity.

Clean lens cover and sensors of any obstructions. Make sure the

sensors are facing the arc; angles of 45 or more may not allow

the arc light to reach the sensors.

Not Switching – auto-lens

stays dark after the weld

arc is extinguished, or the

auto-lens stays dark when

no arc is present.

Fine-tune the sensitivity setting in small increments. In extreme

light conditions, it may be necessary to reduce the surrounding

light levels.

Sections of the auto-lens

are not going dark, distinct

lines separate the light and

dark areas.

Stop welding immediately: The auto-lens may be cracked which

can be caused by the impact of dropping the helmet.

Weld spatter on the auto lens may also cause cracking. (The lens

may need to be replaced; most cracked lenses are not covered by

warranty).

Switching or Flickering –

the auto-lens darkens then

lightens while the welding

arc is present.

Review the sensitivity setting recommendations and increase the

sensitivity if possible. Be sure the arc sensors are not being

blocked from direct access to the arc light.

Check the lens cover for dirt and spatter that may be blocking the

arc sensors. Increasing Lens Delay 0.1 − 0.3 second may also

reduce switching.

Inconsistent or lighter

auto-lens shading in the

dark-state, noticeable on

the outside edges and

corners.

Referred to as an angle of view effect, auto-darkening lenses

have an optimum viewing angle.

The optimum viewing angle is perpendicular or 90 to the surface

of the auto-lens. When that angle of view varies in the dark-state,

welders may notice slightly lighter areas at the outside edges and

the corners of the lens. This is normal and does not represent any

health or safety hazard.

This effect may also be more noticeable in applications where

magnifying lenses are used.
