lBefore welding, adjust the auto-darkening lens sensitivity setting to meet the application.
lStop welding immediately if the auto-darkening lens does not darken when the arc is struck.
NOISE can damage hearing.
Noise from some processes or equipment can damage hearing.
lWear approved ear protection if noise level is high.
WELDING HELMETS do not provide unlimited eye, ear,
and face protection.
Arc rays from the welding process produce intense visible and invisible (ultra-
violet and infrared) rays that can burn eyes and skin. Sparks fly off from the
weld.
lUse helmet for welding/cutting applications only. Do not use helmet for laser welding/cutting.
lUse impact resistant safety spectacles or goggles and ear protection at all times when using
this welding helmet.
lDo not use this helmet while working with or around explosives or corrosive liquids.
lThis helmet is not rated for overhead welding. Do not weld in the direct overhead position
while using this helmet unless additional precautions are taken to protect yourself from arc
rays, spatter, and other hazards.
lInspect the auto-lens frequently. Immediately replace any scratched, cracked, or pitted cover
lenses or auto-lenses.
lLens and retention components must be installed as instructed in this manual to ensure com-
pliance with ANSI Z87.1 protection standards.
lThis helmet provides protection from projectiles associated with grinding, chipping, and re-
lated activities; it is not a hard hat and does not provide protection from falling objects.
READ INSTRUCTIONS.
lRead and follow all labels and the Owner’s Manual carefully before installing,
operating, or servicing unit. Read the safety information at the beginning of the
manual and in each section.
lUse only genuine replacement parts from the manufacturer.
lPerform installation, 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.
lKeep your head out of the fumes. Do not breathe the fumes.
lVentilate the work 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.
lIf ventilation is poor, wear an approved air-supplied respirator.
lRead and understand the Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) and the manufacturer’s instructions for
adhesives, coatings, cleaners, consumables, coolants, degreasers, fluxes, and metals.
lWork 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.
