IMPORTANT: This auto darkening welding helmet is designed to protect the eyes and face from spark, spatter
and harmful radiation under normal welding conditions. NOTE: The helmet comes ready assembled.
WARNING! Ensure that you have read and understood section 1. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.
4.1 Check that the front lens cover and retaining frame are securely in place. See 'J & L' in fig.5.
4.2 Select the shade level you require according to the welding process you will use by referring to the
“Selection Chart” below for settings. Turn the potentiometer control on the side of the helmet to the
number required. See 'N' in fig.4.
4.3 Adjust the switching time of the shade cartridge (the time it will take for the shade to turn from light to
dark and dark to light) by means of the delay control inside the helmet. See 'M' in fig.3. Again, adjust
the time according to the welding process you will use, in order to protect your eyes against the residual
light of the after glow or work materials. See technical data for response times.
4.4 Adjust the headband strap that passes over the head so that the helmet is seated on the head as low
as possible. See fig.2. Snap the spigot 'G' on the lower strap into one of the holes 'F' on the upper strap.
4.5 Adjust the size of the headband by using the ratchet knob at the rear (see 'E' in fig.2). Depress and turn
the knob until the headband sits firmly in place, but not too tight.
4.6 Use the two knobs 'A' on either side of the helmet to adjust the amount of friction that occurs as you
raise and lower the helmet.
4.7 When the helmet is in the lowered position, adjust its relationship to your face using the locating plate
'D' seen in fig.2. The spigot 'H' should be placed in one of 3 holes on the other side of the helmet from
the shade control knob.
4.8 The distance from each eye to the shade cartridge can also be adjusted by loosening the knobs 'A' and
sliding the plastic bolts 'B' within the slotted openings either side of the helmet.
4.9 The helmet is now ready for use.

6.1 Replacing front cover lens. (See 'J' in
fig.5.) Firstly remove the front frame 'L'
which is held in place by four pairs of
legs which pass through four slots in the
front recess. Reach into the back of the
helmet and release each pair of legs in
turn by squeezing the legs together and
pushing them forwards. Start with the
lower pair and pulling frame from front
will aid release. Once the frame is
removed you can lift out the front
cover lens and place a new one into the
recess designed for it. Refit front frame
and press into place.
6.2 Replacing inside cover lens. The
inside cover lens is located within the
back of the shade cartridge. There is a
finger access point along the top edge
of the cover. Pull the top edge of the
lens away from the cartridge until the
top corners release then lift the lens
out. Locate the short edge of the new lens in one side of the cartridge recess.
Flex the material upwards until the other end can be snapped into place.
6.3 Removing the shade cartridge. (See 'K' in fig.5.) Gently pull on the shade control knob 'N' and remove.
Undo the nut which retains the potentiometer and remove, allowing the potentiometer to hang loose within
the helmet. Remove the front frame and lens cover as described above. Place your hand over the cartridge
opening and tip the helmet forwards allowing the cartridge to fall into hand. To re-fit, drop the cartridge into
the recess followed by the lens cover and snap the front frame into place. Refix the potentiometer to the
side of the helmet and reattach the knob.
6.4 Cleaning. Clean the helmet by wiping with a soft clean cloth. Clean the cartridge surfaces with a lint free
cloth or tissue. Do not use any chemicals for cleaning purposes.
6.5 Sweat Band. Regularly remove the sweat band wash and replace.
