Preparations for Use
WARNING, materials which may come in contact with the wearer’s skin may cause an
allergic reaction to susceptible individuals.
Filters:
before you begin welding always inspect your filter to ensure it is not damaged. Check to see if
the filter protection plates (cover plates) are clean, clear, undamaged, and securely attached to
the helmet and covering the auto-darkening filter both front and rear. Make sure the fitler will turn
dark before using. Direct toward a bright light source or use a torch striker. Direct sunlight may
not darken the filter.
WARNING, never begin welding without first checking to see if the correct front and rear
protection plates are in place (See Part Selection Guide section for part numbers). Failure
to protect the welding filter may cause damage and become a safety hazard should the
UV/IR protection be compromised from spatter or cracks from impact. DAMAGE CAUSED
BY ABUSE SUCH AS EXCESSIVE TEMPERATURES, CRACKS FROM IMPACT, AND
PITTING FROM SPATTER CAUSED BY POOR MAINTENANCE WILL VOID WARRANTY.
Not for use in overhead welding.
WARNING, toughened mineral filter oculars shall only be used in conjunction with a
suitable backing ocular.
Welding Helmets:
before you begin welding make sure there is no damage to the helmet shell including, but not
limited to, cracks, holes, and melting. Ensure that the springs holding the filter are not broken or
corroded. Do not use the helmet if any of these conditions exist and contact your distributor for
replacement parts. Use only replacement components as specified for each welding helmet in
accordance with this user manual.
Adjust headgear for comfort and proper sight-line through the filter (see Parts Selection Guide).
WARNING, other safety precautions such as protective clothing, adequate ventilation,
breathing protection (e.g. powered air purifying respirator), fire extinguisher, and
protection for co-workers, should also be considered. Consult an Industrial Hygenist to
ensure adequate protection is being provided.

®
auto-darkening filters protect the user against harmful ultra-violet and infrared UV/IR
rays, both in the dark and light state. No matter what shade the filter is set to the UV/IR
protection is provided. When used properly, the filter will prevent your eyes from being burned by
optical radiation.
WARNING, severe burns are possible with a damaged lens (cracks, pits, holes, etc.). Do
not use damaged lens. Optical radiation can possibly enter in from behind the helmet
from other welders welding in the immediate area.
