Also, some
diseases that may be linked to exposure to welding gasses or fumes are:
•
Early onset of Parkinson’s Disease
•
Heart Disease
•
Damage to the reproductive organs
•
Ulcers
•
Inflammation of the small intestine or stomach
•
Kidney damage
•
Respiratory diseases such as emphysema, bronchitis or pneumonia
Safety precautions, such as using natural or forced air ventilation and
wearing a NIOSH-approved respirator, are ESSENTIAL to reduce the risk
of developing the above illnesses.
Maintain the helmet and lens correctly to help ensure reliable protection.
• Clean filter’s surfaces regularly. Always keep sensors and solar cells clean using
a clean lint-free tissue/cloth. Don’t use any solvents on filter’s screen or helmet
components. Protect filter from liquid and dirt contact. Don’t immerse the filter in
water.
• Should the Auto-Darkening Welding Helmet not darken upon striking an arc,
stop welding immediately and have the helmet checked by an authorized service
technician.
• Regularly replace the Front Lens Cover (1) if it becomes cracked, scratched,
pitted, or otherwise damaged.
