1) Introduction
Auto-darkening welding helmets are designed to protect the eyes and face from sparks, splatter, and harmful
radiation under normal welding conditions. The auto-darkening lter (ADF) automatically changes from a
light to dark state when an arc is struck and returns to the light state when the welding arc disappears.
The Auto-darkening welding helmet comes ready to use. The only thing you need to do before welding is to
adjust the position of the headband and select the correct shade number for your application.
WARNING PLEASE READ THIS MANUAL CAREFULLY BEFORE USING
2) Safety Warning
• Recommended usage period of 3 years from date of rst use. The duration of the helmet depends on
various factors such as usage, cleaning, storage and maintenance. Frequent inspections and replacement
of damaged components is recommended.
• Materials that may come into contact with the wearer’s skin could cause allergic reactions to susceptible
indiduals
• Eye-protectors against high speed particles worn over standard ophthalmic spectacles may transmit
impacts, thus creating a hazard to the wearer.
• If protection against high speed particles at extremes of temperature is required, then the selected eye-
protector should be marked with the letter T immediately aer the impact letter, i.e. FT, BT or AT. If the
impact letter is not followed by the letter T then the eye protector shall only be used against high speed
particles at room temperature.
1. This Auto-Darkening lter welding helmet is not suitable for laser welding and Oxyacetylene welding.
2. Never place this Helmet and Auto-Darkening lter on a hot surface.
3. Never open or tamper with the Auto-Darkening lter.
4. Before operating, please make sure that the function-setting switch is set to the suitable location
(“WELDING” / ”GRINDING”). This Auto-darkening lter welding helmet will not protect against severe
impact hazards.
5. This helmet will not protect against explosive deces or corrosive liquids.
6. Do not make any modications to either the lter or helmet, unless specied in this manual.
7. Should this helmet not darken upon striking an arc, stop welding immediately and contact us.
8. Do not immerse the lter in water.
9. Do not use any solvents on lters’ screen or helmet components.
10.Use only at temperatures: -5°C ~ + 55°C (23°F ~ 131°F )
11.Storing temperature: - 20°C ~ +70°C (-4 °F ~ 158°F )
12.Protect lter from contact with liquid and dirt.
13.Clean lters’ surfaces regularly; do not use strong cleaning solutions. Always keep sensors and solar
cells clean using a clean, lint-free tissue/cloth.
14.Regularly replace the cracked/scratched/pitted front cover lens.
3) Hazard Denitions
Please familiarise yourself with the hazard notices found in this manual. Severe personal injury could occur
if the user fails to follow the aforementioned warnings and/or fails to follow the operating instructions.

4) Product Features
4.1 The operator can vary the time for the lter to return to the clear state from dark state using knob 3
4.2 Sensitity adjustments can be made while in use for operator convenience using knob 2
4.3 Welding/Grinding operations can be selected by slider switch 4.
4.4 The helmet utilises a high-performance solar cell as the power supply and has a replaceable 3V lithium
4.4 battery as power backup. Users can expect the battery to have a lifetime of more than 5000 hours under
4.4 normal welding conditions
4.5 Variable shade from DIN 5 to 13 is adjusted at by turning shade knob 1.
4.6 The ultra-high performance of the UV/IR ADF prodes full protection for the user’s eyes & face against
4.4 UV/IR radiation during the entire welding process, even in its light state. The UV/IR protection level is
4.4 up to Shade16(DIN) at all times. This enhances user comfort and safety.

6) Operating Instructions
6.1 Before Welding
6.1.1 Ensure that the internal and external protective lms are removed from the lenses.
6.1.2 Check that the batteries have sucient power to operate the helmet. The lter cartridge can last
6.1.2 for 5,000 working hours powered by the lithium batteries and solar cells. When the battery power is
6.1.2 low, the Low Battery LED indicator will light up. The lter cartridge lens may not work correctly.
6.1.2 Replace the batteries .
6.1.3 Check that the arc sensors are clean and not blocked by dust or debris.
6.1.4 Check for headband tightness before each use.
6.1.5 Inspect all operating parts before use for signs of wear or damage. Any scratched, cracked, or pitted
6.1.2 parts should be replaced immediately before using to avoid severe personal injury.
6.1.6 Select the shade number you require at the turn of a shade knob. Finally, be sure that the shade
6.1.2 number is the correct setting for your application.
① Dark Shade Control : DIN5-9/9-13
② Sensitivity Control: Lo to Hi
③ Delay Time Control: Slow to Fast
④ Mode control: Grind , Dark shade DIN5-9, Dark shade DIN9-13
6.OPERATING INSTRUCTION
6.1.Before welding
6.1.1 Ensure that the internal and external protective films are removed from the
lenses.
6.1.2 Check that the batteries have sufficient power to operate the helmet. The filter
cartridge can last for 5,000 working hours powered by the lithium batteries and
solar cells. When the battery power is low, the Low Battery LED indicator will
light up. The filter cartridge lens may not work correctly. Replace the batteries .
