English
A welding helmet is a type of headgear used when performing certain types of welding to protect the eyes,
face and neck from flash burn, ultraviolet light, sparks, infrared light, and heat. The helmet consists of
several parts (see spare parts list). An automatic welding filter combines a passive UV and a passive IR
filter with an active filter, the luminous transmittance of which varies in the visible region of the spectrum,
depending on the irradiance from the welding arc. The luminous transmittance of the automatic welding
filter has an initial high value (light state). After the welding arc strikes and within a defined switching time,
the luminous transmittance of the filter changes to a low value (dark state).
Depending on the model, the helmet can be combined with a protective helmet and / or with a PAPR
(Powered AirPurifying Respirator) system.
Please read the operating instructions before using the helmet. Check that the front cover lens is fitted
correctly. If it is not possible to eliminate errors, you must stop using the cartridge.
During the welding process, heat and radiation are released, which can cause damage to the eyes and
skin. This product offers protection for the eyes and face. When wearing the helmet, your eyes are always
protected against ultraviolet and infrared radiation, regardless of the shade level. To protect the rest of your
body, appropriate protective clothing must also be worn. In some circumstances, particles and substances
released by the welding process can trigger allergic skin reactions in correspondingly predisposed
persons. Materials that come into contact with skin may cause allergic reactions to susceptible persons.
The protective welding helmet must only be used for welding and grinding and not for other applications.
The manufacturer assumes no liability when the welding helmet is used for purposes other than intended or
with disregard for the operating instructions. The helmet is suitable for all established welding procedures,
excluding gas and laser welding. Please note the recommended protection level in accordance with EN169
on the cover. Scratched or damaged lenses must be replaced. The helmet does not replace a safety helmet.
Depending on the model, the helmet can be combined with a protective helmet.
The helmet can affect the field of view due to constructive specifications (no view on the side without
turning the head) and may affect a color perception due to the light transmission of the auto darkening
filter. As a result, signal lights or warning indicators may not be seen. Further there is an impact hazard
due to a larger contour (head with helmet on). The helmet also reduces the audio and heat perception.
The cartridge has an automatic switch-off function, which increases the service life. If the light falls on the
catridge for a period of approx 10 minutes less than 1 Lux, it automatically switches off. To reactivate the
cartridge,it must be briefly exposed to daylight. If the shade cartridge cannot be reactivated or does not
darken when the welding arc is ignited, the batteries must be replaced.
Please see the instructions of the national sales organisation of the manufacturer for warranty provisions.
For further information in this respect, please contact your official dealer. Warranty is only granted for
material and manufacturing defects. In the case of damage caused by improper use, unauthorised
intervention or through usage not intended by the manufacturer, the warranty or liability are no longer
valid. Likewise, liability and the warranty are no longer valid if spare parts other than those sold by the
manufacturer areused.
The welding helmet has no expiration date. The product can be used as long as no visible or invisible
damage or functionalproblems occur.
1. Head band. Adjust the upper adjusting band (p. 4) to the size of your head. Push in the ratchet knob
(p. 4) and turn until the head band fits securely but without pressure.
2. Distance from eyes and helmet angle. By releasing the locking knobs (p. 4-5), the distance between
the cartridge and the eyes can be adjusted. Adjust both sides equally and do not tilt. Then tighten the
locking knobs again. The helmet angle can be adjusted using the rotary knob (p. 5).
3. Shade Level. The shade level can be changed by turing the knob from shade level SL 8- SL 12
according to standard EN 379,
4. Grinding mode. Press the Grind button (p. 6) to switch the cartridge to grinding mode. In this mode the
cartridge is deactivated and remains in light mode shade level SL 2.5. The activated grinding mode
is indicated by the red flashing LED (p. 6) inside the helmet. To deactivate grinding mode, press the
Grind button level knob again. After 10 minutes, the grinding mode is automatically reset.
5. Sensitivity. With the sensitivity button the light sensitivity is adjusted according to the welding arc
and the ambient light (p.7). The middle position corresponds to the recommended sensitivity setting
in a standard situation. In the "Super high" range the maximum light sensitivity can be achieved.
6. Sensor slider. The sensor slider can be set to two different positions. Depending on the position, the
ambient light detection angle is reduced (p. 7) or increased (p. 7).
7. Delay switch. The opening knob (Delay) (p. 7) allows to select an opening delay from dark to light.
The knob allows infinite adjustment from dark to light between 0.05 to 1.0 s.
The shade cartridge and the front cover lens must be cleaned with a soft cloth at regular intervals. No
strong cleaning agents, solvents, alcohol or cleaning agents containing scouring agent must be used.
Scratched or damaged lenses must be replaced.
Push in one side clip to release the front cover lens and then remove it. Attach the new front cover lens to
one side clip. Pull the front cover lens round to the second side clip and clip in place. This action requires
some pressure to ensure that the gasket on the front cover lens has the desired effect.
The cartridge has replaceable Lithium button cell batteries, type CR2032. If you are using a welding helmet
with a fresh air connection, you must remove the face seal before replacing the batteries. The batteries
must be replaced when the LED on the cartridge flashes in green.
1. Carefully remove the battery cover
2. Remove the batteries and dispose of them in accordance with the national regulations for special waste
3. Insert CR2032 type batteries, as shown
4. Carefully replace the battery cover
If the shade cartridge does not darken when the welding arc is ignited, please check battery polarity.
To check whether the batteries still have sufficient power, hold the shade cartridge against a bright
lamp. If the green LED flashes, the batteries are empty and must be replaced immediately. If the shade
cartridge does not operate correctly in spite of correct battery replacement, it must be declared unusable
and must be replaced.
1. Pull out the protection level knob
2. Carefully remove the battery cover
3. Unlock the cartridge retention spring as shown
4. Carefully tilt the cartridge out
5. Unlock the satellite as shown
6. Pull the satellite out through the gap in the helmet
7. Rotate the satellite by 90° and push through the hole in the helmet
8. Remove / replace the shadecartridge
The cartridge is installed in the reverse order.
