Warning: For your own protection, please read these instructions
carefully before using this auto-darkening welding helmet.
Auto-darkening welding helmets are designed to protect the eyes
and faces from spark, spatter, and harmful radiation under normal
welding conditions. Auto-darkening filter automatically changes
from light state to dark state when the arc is struck, and returns to
the light state when you stop welding.
Auto-darkening welding helmets comes ready to use. The only
thing you need to do before welding is to adjust the position of
headband.
BEFORE WELDING
Check the front cover lens and make sure that it is clean and no
dirt covering the two sensors on the front of filter cartridge. Also
check the front/inside cover lens and the back cover retaining
frame to make sure that they are secure.
Check all operating parts before use for signs of wear or damage.
Any scratched, cracked or pitted parts should be replaced
immediately before using to avoid severe personal injury.
Adjust the headband so that the helmet is seated as low as
possible on the head and close to your face. The angle of helmet is
adjusted on the buckles, fastened at the different settings.
DARK SHADE NUMBER SELECTION
The fixed shade has been pre-set at DIN11.
PRODUCT FEATURES
This model is designed & equipped with a special turn over (up &
down) headband mechanism. When the welder tilts the helmet
upwards ,the headband mechanism lowers the helmet’s centre of
gravity. The design of the welding helmet greatly reduces the
fatigue of welder’s head & neck.
The moment the welding electrode arcs with the surface, the filter
screen will automatically darken in about 0.0003 sec.
The delay time from dark to light is set about 0.3 s.
he helmet utilizes high performance solar cells as power supply
with a built-in 3V lithium battery as a power back-up. Under normal
conditional the battery has a life span will be in excess of 3 years.
The product is in full conformity with related DIN, ISO, EN safety
standards and ANSI Z87.1-2010 standards.
The ultra high performance of UV/IR auto-darkening filters provide
full protection for the user’s eyes & face against UV/IR radiation
during the entire welding process, even in the light state. The
UV/IR protection level is up to Shade 15 (DIN) at all times..
