HELMET INFORMATION
This Auto-Darkening Welding Helmet will automatically change from a light state (shade 3) to a
dark state (Shade 11) when arc welding starts.
The filter automatically returns to a light state when the arc stops.
Match your welding application to the shade indicated on the shade chart. (See Page 4)
• Operating temperature: 23°F ~ 131°F (-5°C ~ 55°C).
• Do not use or open the auto-darkening filter if damaged by shock, vibration or pressure.
• Keep the sensors and solar cell clean. Clean the filter cartridge using a soapy water solution
and soft cloth which should be damp but not saturated.
This Auto-Darkening Welding Helmet is designed for use with GMAW, GTAW, MMAW, SMAW,
FCAW welding, or Plasma Arc and air carbon arc cutting.
The cartridge provides protection from harmful UV and IR radiation, in both dark and light states.
The cartridge contains two sensors to detect the light from the welding arc, resulting in the lens
darkening to the welding shade.
• Do not use solvents or abrasive cleaning detergent.
• If cover lens is spattered or covered with dirt, it should be replaced immediately.
• Do not use the helmet without the outside cover lens properly installed.

after extended storage. Face the solar cell on the helmet toward sun light or
light bulb for at least 1 hour before use.
HEADGEAR ADjUSTMENT:
Headband tightness is adjusted by pushing in the ratchet knob and turning to
adjust to desired comfort level. This knob is located at the back of the hel-
met. HEAD GEAR CROWN ADjUSTMENT is made by adjusting crown
strap for vertical placement on the head and snapping the pin into the hole to
lock securely in place.

ening outside tension knob and releasing the adjustment lever from its cur-
rent location and moving it to another location. Retighten the outside tension
knob when finished.
