welding shield that may contain a passive shaded welding lter or an auto-darkening lter (ADF), fully adjustable ratchet head suspension, and a

ame resistant faceseal. Two integral air deectors allow the user to position the incoming airow near the top or bottom of the face and also toward

or away from the lens for wearing comfort. Several accessories are also available including large neck covers, large head covers, a full shroud

conguration to take the Assigned Protection Factor (APF) from 25x to 1000x, and a task light.

Respirator Program Management

Occupational use of respirators must be in compliance with applicable health and safety standards. By law, US employers must establish a written

respiratory protection program meeting the requirements of the OSHA Respiratory Protection Standard 29 CFR 1910.134 and any applicable

OSHA substance specic standards. For additional information on this standard contact OSHA at www.OSHA.gov. In Canada, CSA standard Z94.4

requirements must be met and/or requirements of the applicable jurisdiction, as appropriate. The major sections of 29 CFR 1910.134 are listed here

for reference. Consult an Industrial Hygienist or Safety Professional with questions concerning applicability of this product to your job requirements.

Welding Helmet Donning & Fitting

NOTE: You may want to have a colleague help check for proper donning.

1. Connect an approved breathing tube to the welding helmet. See “Connecting and Disconnecting Breathing Tubes” section for additional

information.

2. With the inner shield that holds the clear grinding visor (lens) in the up position, place the welding helmet on your head.

3. Turn the ratchet knob at the back of the suspension clockwise until the suspension feels snug but comfortable (Fig. 3a). Turn counterclockwise

to loosen, if needed. The suspension ts head sizes from 50-64 cm (US hat sizes 6 3/8 to 8). Adjust the top parts of the suspension for added

comfort (Fig. 3a). To make initial adjustment of the head suspension easier (and also for replacement) it may be removed from the welding helmet

(Fig. 3b).

4. An optional size large comfort head rest (46-0400-55) that will t to the ratchet is available. This large comfort head rest can also be used to

5. The resting tilt of the welding helmet (how far downward the lens settles) and the distance from the face may also be adjusted.

a. At the right-side pivot point there is a small lever to stop the downward travel of the welding helmet. At the high position the welding helmet

will come to rest so the welder can weld slightly above eye level. At the low position the welding helmet will face at a slightly downward angle

(Fig. 5a). With the grinding shield in the up position, push the lever in toward the head and adjust it up or down. Bring the shield down to the

stopping point to see where it rests.

b. To adjust the welding helmet in and out (closer and further from the face) there are two slides on either side of the head suspension. To

unlock the slides, push up on the gray buttons with your thumbs and slide the welding helmet out or in, adjusting to your personal preference

(Fig.5b). This adjustment will help with safety glasses spacing and also magnication lens distance.

ENTERING AND EXITING THE CONTAMINATED AREA

a. Atmospheres are oxygen decient.

b. Contaminant concentrations are unknown or cannot be adequately estimated.

c. Contaminant concentrations are Immediately Dangerous to Life or Health (IDLH).

d. Contaminant concentrations exceed the maximum use concentration (MUC) determined using the Assigned Protection Factor (APF) for the

specic respirator system or the APF mandated by specic government standards, whichever is lower.

3. Leave the contaminated area before reaching inside or removing the welding helmet. Do not remove the respirator or reach your hand into the

welding helmet in areas where the air is contaminated. Air routing adjustments may be made while in a contaminated area.

c. Breathing becomes difcult.

d. You feel dizzy or your vision is impaired.

e. You taste or smell contaminants.

Before and after each use, inspect entire welding helmet for signs of damage or wear including dents, rips, cracks, color changes, chalking, fading,

aking and/or penetration. Carefully inspect all helmet components including the following:

d. Screw the pivot knobs back into place (Fig. 17d).

head suspension. To replace the sweatband:

removed to make replacement easier.

b. Place the new sweatband corners around its retainer (Fig. 18a).

c. Pull the sweatband holding loops over the hooks on the retainer for a secure t (Fig. 18b and 18c).

visor. Look for signs that the clear grinding visor or the visor frame has warped or cracked. Make sure it is installed correctly and replace as

Fig. 19a Fig. 19b

c. To reinstall a new grinding visor, hook the four tabs (the 2 left rst, and then the 2 right) into their slots on the welding helmet

(Fig.19cand19d).

Removing the headgear suspension will make changing the faceseal easier.

a. Turn the welding helmet upside down and remove the faceseal tabs and retaining loops from their posts next to the airduct tube (Fig. 20a).

b. Slide each side of the faceseal out of the channel holding it to the welding helmet and pull away the plastic retaining strip at the chin area of

the faceseal (Fig. 20a and 20b).
