• This helmet provides protection for intended pur-
pose only. There are certain applications for which
this helmet was designed. Do not modify this helmet
and do not use this helmet for a purpose for which it
was not intended.
• The welding helmet with automatic darkening is not
suitable for laser and gas welding.
• Please ensure that you have set the automatic dark-
ening before each welding procedure.
• Only use the welding helmet in temperatures be-
tween -5 °C and +55 °C. The filter's reaction time will
slow down if this temperature has not been reached
or is exceeded.
• The welding helmet will not protect against severe
impact hazard.
• The welding helmet will not protect against explosive
devices or corrosive liquids.
• Maintain the helmet and lens correctly to help en-
sure reliable protection:
- Clean filter's surfaces regularly. Keep sensors
and solar cells clean using a clean lint- free tis-
sue/cloth. Do not use any solvents on filter's
screen or helmet components. Protect filter from
liquid and dirt contact. Do not immerse the filter
in water.
- Should the auto dimming welding helmet not
darken upon striking an arc, stop welding immedi-
ately and have the helmet checked by a qualified
service technician.
- Replace the front lens cover if it be comes
cracked, scratched, pitted, or otherwise dam-
aged.
- Do not any modifications to either the Auto- Dark-
ening Filter or the rest of the helmet, other than
those specified in this manual. Do not use any re-
placement parts other than those specified in this
manual. Unauthorised modifications and replace-
ment parts will void the warranty and expose the
user to the risk of personal injury. Do not open or
tamper with the Auto- Darkening Filter.
• Do not place the helmet's Auto- Darkening Filter on
a hot surface.
• Severe personal injury and/or blindness may occur if
the user fails to follow the afore mentioned warnings
and/or fails to following the operation instructions.
• Maintain labels and nameplates on the tool. These
carry important safety information.
• Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use com-
mon sense.

m IMPORTANT! When the welding helmet is turned
off, not being used and/or stored, always keep the
helmet with filter sensors downward. Other wise this
may drain the battery usage.
• Inhalation hazard: Welding and plasma cutting pro-
duce toxic fumes:
• Exposure to welding or cutting exhaust fumes can
increase the risk of developing certain cancers,
such as cancer of the larynx and lung cancer. Some
diseases that may be linked to exposure to welding
or plasma cutting exhaust fumes are:
- Early onset of Parkinson's Disease
- Heart Disease
- Ulcers
- Damage to the reproductive organs
- Inflammation of the small intestine or stomach
- Kidney damage
- Respiratory diseases such as emphysema, bron-
chitis, or pneumonia
Use natural or forced air ventilation and wear an ap-
proved respirator to protect against the fumes produced
to reduce the risk of developing the above illnesses.
m WARNING! If the Auto- Darkening Filter does not
darken when the arc is struck, immediately stop weld-
ing and consult the owner's manual.
• Use impact resistant safety goggles and ear protec-
tion at all times when using this welding helmet.
• Inspect the filter lens frequently. Immediately re-
place any scratched, cracked, or pitted cover lenses
or filter lenses.
m WARNING! Materials that come into contact with
the wearer's skin may cause allergic reactions in peo-
ple with sensitive skin.
m WARNING! If protection against high-speed parti-
cles at extreme temperatures is required, the eye pro-
tection chosen must be labelled with the letter T direct-
ly after the letter for the impact intensity, i. e. FT, BT or
AT. If the letter for the impact intensity is not followed
by the letter T, the eye protection may only be used
against high-speed particles at room temperature.
