BEFORE WELDING
• Check the front cover lens to make sure that they are clean and there is no dirt covering the
four sensors on the front of the filter cartridge and check the front/inside cover lens 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 again to avoid severe personal injury.
• Check for light tightness before each use.
Select a shade number by the shade knob (see Shade Guide Table No.1) ensuring that the shade number is
the correct setting for your application. Adjust the headband so that the helmet is seated as low as possible
on the head and close to your face. The angle of the helmet is adjusted using the buckles.
DARK SHADE NUMBER SELECTION
The shades are divided to two sections, 5-8 and 9-13. The shade section is selected by switch K4. When
used for grinding, you can set the Grind/Weld switch (K5) to “GRIND”. Refer to the shade guide table to
determine the proper shade number for your application. Select a shade number by the shade knob (Shade
guide Table No.1).The shade goes darker from 5 to 8 or from 9 to 13 gradually by turning knob K2.
Auto-darkening welding helmet is designed to protect the
eyes and face from sparks, spatter, and harmful radiation
under normal welding conditions. Auto-darkening filter
automatically changes from light to dark state when the arc
is struck, and returns to the light state when welding stops.
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.
There is also a visor for protection on other operations.

PRODUCT FEATURES
The helmet is designed & equipped with a special turn over (up & down) headband mechanism. When the
user lifts the helmet, the headband mechanism aligns the helmet’s centre of gravity to with the user’s head.
This greatly reduces fatigue of the user’s head (and neck) making the user more comfortable when working.
When welding, the helmet automatically changes the filter screen from clear to dark in 1/25,000 sec. The
delay time from dark to clear is set between 0.2 sec and 1 sec, which can be adjusted by the delay knob.
The helmet utilises high performance solar cells as a power supply and 2 built-in 3V lithium batteries
(CR2032) as power back-up. The power is switched off automatically within 10-15mins of stopping work.
Under normal welding conditions, users can expect a battery lifetime of more than a year. The lithium
batteries can be replaced by ones of the same size and specification when exhausted.
The helmet 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 and
face against UV/IR radiation during the entire welding process, even in the light state. The UV/IR protection
level is up to Shade 16(DIN) at all times, which increases comfort during welding work.
WARNING
• The auto-darkening welding helmet is not suitable for laser welding or Oxyacetylene welding.
• Never place the helmet and auto-darkening filter on a hot surface.
• Never open or tamper with the auto-darkening filter.
• The auto-darkening welding helmet will not protect against severe impact hazards.
• The helmet will not protect against explosive devices or corrosive liquids.
• Do not make any modifications to either the filter or helmet, unless specified in this manual.
• Do not use replacement parts other than those specified in this manual.
• Unauthorised modification and replacement parts will void the warranty and expose the
operator to the risk of personal injury.
• Should the helmet not darken upon striking an arc, stop welding immediately and contact your
supervisor or your dealer.

1. Introduction
The powered respirator is used for dust removal and partial odour removal, not for gases or vapours.
Used to reduce or remove resistance to inhalation during respiration by producing a constant
airflow. The unit is designed with a manufacturer’s minimum design flow rate of 170 litres, 210
litres or 250 litres per minute (the flow rate at which the equipment still will fulfil the requirements
of the class in EN12941). The working battery life will be approximately 8 hours.
2. Description
A complete powered respirator apparatus consists of :
• Blower master unit provided with a dust P3 filter, a steel pre-filter and an activated carbon
filter (Fig1), supplied with a belt and a comfort plate.
• Rechargeable battery, which is equipped underside the apparatus.
• A hose with a bayonet connector to the blower unit and a bayonet connector to the mask.
• Fully automatic battery charger
3. Use
The unit supplies an overcapacity of clean and filtered ambient air, which is fed to the mask. It
allows the user to breathe in air without having to overcome the resistance of the filter. Considering
that an adult person requires 50 litres of air per minute, the overcapacity ensures an overpressure
and thus a high degree of protection.
With a fully charged battery the unit will operate for approximately 8 hours. The unit contains a
warning facility to warn the user against reduced air supply due to a clogged filter or low battery.

3.1 Prior to use
Before using the powered respirator, the user must ensure that all the conditions for safe use have
been satisfied. See below for the applicable statutory regulations and rules.
• Check that the appropriate hose connector is fitted to the hose
• Check before use that the battery is sufficiently charged and that the free flow of air is not
obstructed by a blocked hose or other causes.
• Check that a set of filters is fitted correctly.
• Check that the lock of the battery box and the lid filter housing are closed.
3.1.1 Usage limitations: System
• The space in which the unit is to be used must contain at least 17% oxygen and must not
contain any explosive gases or vapours. In enclosed spaces where there is a risk of oxygen
deficiency, use of the unit should be avoided.
• In case of physical effort, it is possible that a temporary negative pressure occurs in the blower
unit, resulting in a reduction of the protection factor of the system.
• Air speed in excess of 2m/s can affect the protection factor.
• The ambient usage temperature should be between the limits of -5°C and +50°C
• Do not use the unit in circumstances where hazardous gases and/or vapours are present.
Warning
If the user of the respirator feels dizzy or uncomfortable or can smell/taste something, they should exit the
contaminated area immediately.
3.1.2 Usage limitations: Filter element
• Used filter elements cannot be cleaned.
Warning
Never attempt to clean a filter element; the filter media may be damaged, resulting in loss of
protection.
3.1.3 Charging batteries
The battery is supplied in an un-charged state; the charging time for a fully discharged battery
is approximately 3 hours. The automatic setting of the charger prevents damage to the batteries
when the charging time is exceeded.
Under normal circumstances the battery can be charged and discharged approximately 500 times.
After the battery is completely charged, the charger will switch over to trickle charging. This will
expand the lifetime of the battery beyond 500 charge cycles. If the unit is used for more than 8
hours a day, it is recommended that user carry a second battery for backup.
Batteries may be charged on or off the unit.

3.1.4 Filter assembly
Open the front cover by releasing the retaining clip on the side of the unit by hand (do not use
tools). Fit the filter squarely into the power unit by aligning the three concave points of the filter
box to the three convex points in the cavity. Then press the filter hard and rotate slightly clockwise
to lock. To unlock the filter, press it and rotate anticlockwise.
The pre-filter and the activated carbon filter should be installed on the inner side of the upper
cover, assembled in the order and direction indicated in Figure 1, and then pressed by the frame.
Three notches on the frame are aligned with three buckles on the top cover. Press the frame and
rotate clockwise to lock. To disassemble them, press the frame and rotated anticlockwise to unlock.
3.2 Switching on
The unit can be switched on by pushing the ON/OFF button for approximately three seconds. A
voice signal will be heard and the LCD will display the air flow, filter and the battery power. Then
the unit will start on the low speed.
3.3 During use
This product has three levels of air flow. By shortly pressing the “ SET” button, the flow level will
change according to “low - medium - high - low...” circulation accompanied by a voice signal. The
icon on LCD also changes synchronously. At the same time, the digit on LCD indicates the real air
flow rate. If during use the air supply drops or fails entirely, leave the work area immediately. If a
signal for low battery (2 beeps repeatedly) or a clogged filter element (single short beep repeatedly)
is given, leave the workroom immediately, and check according to chapter 6.
3.4 After use
By pressing the ON/OFF button for 3 seconds, the motor will stop gradually accompanied by a long
tweet. When the icons on LCD disappear after approximately 15 seconds, the apparatus will turn
off completely.
Cleaning and disinfecting
After each session clean the unit, using a mixture of water and a mild detergent. Subsequently,
rinse thoroughly with clean water. Do not use any solvent. During cleaning ensure that no water is
allowed to enter the apparatus. The unit must not be immersed in fluid. Dry the unit with a cloth
