WARNING
READ CAREFULLY AND UNDERSTAND THESE
INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE HELMET
TRUE VIEW PANO welding helmets are designed to protect the eyes and face from
sparks, spatter and harmful radiation under normal welding conditions. The welding
helmets may only be used for welding and not for other purposes. They are suitable
for use with virtually all welding process, except oxy-acetylene, laser and gas weld-
ing procedures. They will not protect against severe impact hazards, including frag-
ments from grinding disks, explosive devices or corrosive liquids. Machine guards
and appropriate protection must be used. Avoid work positions that could expose u-
nprotected areas of the body to sparks spatter, direct and/or reflected radiation. Use
adequate protection if exposure can not be avoided.
If the auto-darkening filter is cracked, stop using the helmet: UV/IR protection may
be compromised, resulting in burns to the eyes and skin.
During the welding process, heat and radiation are released.
• FUMES AND GASES can be dangerous to your health.
• Keep your head out of fumes.
• Use enough ventilation, exhaust at the arc, or both, to keep fumes and gases a-
way from your breathing zone and general area.
• ARC RAYS can injure eyes and burn skin.
• Before welding, always inspect helmet and filter lens to be sure they are fitted p-
roperly, in good condition and not damaged.
• Check to see that the clear lens is clean and securely attached to the helmet.
• Always wear safety glasses or goggles under the welding helmet and protective
clothing, to protect your skin from radiation, burns and spatter.
• Ensure that optical radiation from other welder’s arcs in the immediate area do-
es not enter in from behind the helmet and auto-darkening filter.
Welding produces sparks and drops of molten metal that fly in all directions.
• The protective helmet must be worn to avoid potentially serious physical damages.
• Appropriate additional safety clothing must be worn to protect the rest of the body.

CORRECT USE OF THE WELDING HELMET
• Before using the helmet, make sure that:
• the front cover lens, and the filter are in the correct position and correctly fixed
in place;
• all the sensors and the cells are not obstructed;
• the protection films on both screens are removed;
• the red light is off, otherwise change the batteries.
•Keep the filter viewing area as close as possible to the eyes during welding.
•When welding for extended periods, occasionally check the helmet and make
sure there are no signs of deformation or deterioration.
•Do not use the helmet without the transparent filter protections (internal and
external): non-observance may cause a safety hazard or irreparable damage to t-
he filter.
•Subjects with particularly sensitive skin must take extra care: materials that may
come into contact with the skin can cause allergic reactions.
•Check that the protection level matches your welding process. If the helmet pres-
ents operation problems, refer to the “troubleshooting” chapter; if the problem pe-
rsists, immediately stop using the helmet and contact the person in charge or a d-
istributor.
MAINTENANCE
•Regularly check the condition of the helmet and change any damaged parts.
•Replace the external/internal transparent filter protection if it is damaged.
•Do not immerse the filter in water or other liquids; do not use solvents to clean the
filter.
•Do not put any heavy tools/objects in or on the helmet in order not to damage the
filter or the protective screens.
• Keep the helmet away from flames.
•The helmet must not fall down.
•Do not place the helmet too close to the welding area.
•Remove batteries when the helmet is not used fo a long time.
•Respect the temperature:
• use: -5°C (+23°F) ÷ +55°C (+131°F)
• storage: -20°C (-4°F) ÷ +70°C (+158°F).
TRUE VIEW PANO

•Place the helmet in a way that does not allow its dimension to deform, or the view-
ing filter to break.
•Do not allow the filter to come into contact with liquid and dirt.
•Do not open the filter container. Do not use any tools or other sharp objects to re-
move any components of filter or helmet.
•Do not use replacement parts other than those original ones: unauthorized modifi-
cations and replacement parts will void the warranty and expose the operator to
the risk of personal injury.
CLEANING
Keep the filter, the sensor and the solar cell clean.
After using the helmet and before putting it away, it must be checked to verify integ-
rity and to eliminate any drops of molten metal.
The cartridge and the front cover lens must be cleaned at regular intervals with cle-
an cotton, a soft cloth or a special rag for lens. Do not use strong cleaning agents or
solvents: clean the inside and the outside of the helmet with a neutral disinfectant p-
roduct.
Non-observance of this regulation can expose the operator to health risks
and cancellation of the warranty.
We will not accept any liability if the welding helmet is used for other
purposes or if these instructions are disregarded.
TRUE VIEW PANO

OPERATING INSTRUCTION
Check the front cover lens to make sure that they are clean, and that no dirt is cove-
ring the sensors on the front of filter cartridge. Also check the front / rear cover lens
and the front lens retaining snap joint to make sure that they are secure.
Inspect all operating parts before each use for signs of wear or damage. Any scratc-
hed, cracked, or pitted parts should be replaced immediately before using again to
avoid severe personal injury.
Adjust headband so that the helmet is seated as low as possible on the head and cl-
ose to your face. Adjust helmet's angle when in the lowered position by pressing the
side adjustable button.
Do not make any modifications to either the welding lens or helmet, other than those
specified in this manual.
Failure to follow these warnings and/or failure to follow all of the operating instructio-
ns could result in severe personal injury.

In order to extend the service life of the battery, auto darkening welding filter under the
condition of environmental light intensity is less than 10lx and without arc for a long ti-
me ,need to enter a dormant state and work in low power mode. In a dormant mode,
when the environmental light intensity is more than 10lx ,auto darkening welding filter
will be working normally in a instant time. Conditions for Sleep and wake up are shown

The helmet should be adjusted to cover the eyes and face effectively while welding.
The position of the forehead band and rear headband can be manually adjusted to
fit securely. Rotate the gear to adjust the tightness until it feels comfortable.The front
and rear headbands should be adjusted to tightly cover the forehead and the backsi-
de of head. See figure 2a.
Headgear adjustment:
Headgear depth:
The depth of the headgear can be adjusted to the position that the headgear sits ab-
ove your brow.Tighten/loosen the two slotted straps to fit the top of your head. See
figure 2b.
The distance from the lens can be adjusted by pressing side pins and move sliders
simultaneously. There are 5 distance positions available for adjustment. See figure 2c.
Distance between lens and face:
The ideal helmet position is where your eyes are at 90°angle behind the lens.There
are 7 angle limitation positions available for adjustment. Press side buttons and move
the sliders simultaneously to make the helmet obtain the required angle limitation p-
osition.See figure 2d.
