WELDING HELMET WARNINGS
WARNING! The appliance is not to be used by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given
supervision or instruction. Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance. THIS MANUAL CONTAINS IMPORTANT SAFETY AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FOR YOUR WELDING HELMET. Serious personal injury may occur if these warnings are ignored.
• The auto darkening welding helmet is not suitable for laser welding and
oxygen acetylene welding.
• Do not put the helmet near flames or in damp places. • Before operation, please confirm that the welding or grinding function is
correctly selected.
• Before operation, tear off the protective film from the lens. • Cease using the helmet immediately if the filter does not darken on exposure
to UV/IR light. Contact Ozito customer service for further instructions. Arc rays from the welding process produce intense visible and invisible (ultraviolet and infrared) rays that can burn eyes and skin. Sparks fly off from the weld.
• Do not attempt to replace or modify parts of the helmet. • Do not remove the filter protective plate or the filter. • Do not use alcohol, petrol, or thinners to clean the filter. • Do not immerse the helmet in water. • Optimum operating temperature is between -5 to 55°C (23 to 131°F). The auto
darkening function may react slower outside of this range.
• Contact Ozito customer service for further instructions if the protective films
are broken or scratched.
• Contact Ozito customer service for further if the filter protective plate is broken
or scratched. To prevent damage to the filter, do not use hard objects near it.
• Clean the filter surface, sensors, and solar cells regularly. • This welding helmet does not provide protection against serious impact,
explosives, or corrosive liquid damage.
• The Auto darkening filter must have outside protective lens installed to prevent
potential irreparable damage. Do not use auto darkening welding helmet with any of the lenses removed.
• Change scratched or broken lens that reduces visual field and protection level. • Frequently clean the sweatband. • Do not remove the auto darkening filter from the helmet. Never try to open
the filter.
• Before welding, adjust the auto-darkening lens sensitivity setting to meet the
application. Ensure the correct shade is used for the application.
• Wear approved safety glasses with side shields and ear protection under your
helmet.
• Use protective screens or barriers to protect others from flash, glare, and
sparks; warn others not to watch the arc.
• Wear body protection made from durable, flame resistant material (leather,
heavy cotton wool).
• Do not weld in the overhead position while using this helmet. • Inspect the auto-lens frequently. Immediately replace any scratched, cracked,
or pitted cover lenses or auto-lenses.
• Use only genuine replacement parts from the manufacturer. • Welding produces fumes and gases. Breathing these fumes and gases can
be hazardous to your health. Keep your head out of the fumes. Do not breathe the fumes.
• Only work in a well-ventilated environment. • Read and understand the Safety Data Sheets (SDS) and the manufacturer’s
instructions for adhesives, coatings, cleaners, consumables, coolants, degreasers, fluxes, and metals.
• Do not weld in locations near degreasing, cleaning, or spraying operations.
The heat and rays of the arc can react with vapours to form highly toxic and irritating gases.
• Do not weld on coated metals, such as galvanized, lead, or cadmium plated
steel. The coatings and any metals containing these elements can give off toxic fumes if welded.
• Button batteries pose a serious hazard to children. If swallowed, in addition to
presenting a choking hazard, a button battery can get stuck in a child’s throat and cause a chemical reaction that burns through tissue causing catastrophic bleeding. Keep Auto Darkening Welding Helmet and button batteries out of sight and out of reach of small children. Dispose of old or spent button batteries you have removed from a product immediately. Flat batteries can still be dangerous.
• If you think a child has swallowed or inserted a button battery, contact the
Poisons Information Centre on 13 11 26 (Australia) or 0800 764 766 (NZ) for 24/7 expert advice.
• Do not store lens cartridge in a location near a heat source or in a high
moisture environment.

Checking The Battery
Before first use, pull and remove the plastic tab to engage the
battery contact.
WARNING! ALWAYS CHECK THAT THE AUTO
DARKENING FEATURE IS FUNCTIONING AS NORMAL
BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO WELD. FAILURE TO DO SO
MAY RESULT IN INJURY TO YOUR CORNEAS.
1. Set the mode selector to
‘WELD’.
Note: The test function will
not work if the slider is set to
‘GRIND’.
2. Press the ‘TEST’ button.
The viewing window should
darken briefly before
returning to normal.
Note: The timing between dark state to light state will correspond
with the delay setting. Refer to Delay time in 3. Controls section.
Note: Remove the protective film from the lenses before use.
Solar Panel
WARNING! ENSURE THAT ALL OPERATING PARTS ARE
CLEAN & UNDAMAGED BEFORE USE. SCRATCHED OR
BROKEN PARTS SHOULD BE REPLACED IMMEDIATELY.
WARNING! DO NOT USE AUTO DARKENING WELDING
HELMET IF THE SOLAR PANEL IS DAMAGED OR

the helmet, hook the tab
onto one of the 5 pin options.
Note: Ensure the cross pins
and tilt angle on both sides of
the helmet match.
4. Retighten the locking knobs. Set the screw tightness so that
the mask can be flipped up or down easily when nudged, but
remains in position otherwise.
Note: When properly adjusted, your line of sight and the locking
knobs should be connected by a straight line perpendicular to the
viewing window.

Sensitivity
Adjust this to suit ambient and welding light levels.
Low sensitivity is best for
high current welding, whilst
the high setting is suited for
welding with small currents.
The medium setting is suitable
for the majority of indoor and
outdoor welding activities.
1. To adjust, turn the dial to the lowest setting and face the helmet
in the direction of use, exposing it to the surrounding light
levels.
2. Gradually increase the sensitivity until the lens darkens.
3. Then lower the sensitivity just slightly below the setting in step
2.
Note: Slight re-adjustment may be necessary for certain
applications or if the lens is flashing on and off.
Delay Time
The delay time controls the
time taken for the helmet to
switch between full dark and
full light.
The short delay time (0.1s) is suitable for spot, seam or short
welding sessions. The medium setting (0.4s) is suitable for the
majority of indoor and outdoor welding. Use the long delay time
(0.8s) for high current welding or to prevent eye fatigue during
long welding sessions.

4. TROUBLESHOOTING
Filter does not darken or flickers
• Check that the filter protector & filter is not scratched or dirty.
• Check that the arc sensors are clear and unobstructed.
• Welding current may be too low, adjust the sensitivity level to
higher setting.
• Check that the low battery indicator light is not lit.
• Check that the battery is in good condition and installed
properly. Try installing a new battery.
Filter reacts slowly
• Check that the ambient temperature is within the operating
range.
• Check that the sensitivity is not set to minimum.
• Review the sensitivity recommendations and adjust the
sensitivity.
• Clean the lens cover and sensors of any obstructions.
• Make sure the sensors are facing the arc; angles of 45° or more
may not allow the arc light to reach the sensors.
Filter is not clear
• Check that the filter protector is not stained.
• Check that the protective film has been removed.
• Check that there is enough ambient light in the work space.
• Check front and inner lens is clear.
Helmet is slipping
• Check that the headband is adjusted correctly.
• Check that the locking knobs have been tightened sufficiently.

Cleaning The Sweatbands
1. Unhook the sweatband
from the head strap.
2. Use a neutral detergent to clean the helmet shell, outer lens and
sweat bands.
3. Allow the sweatband to air dry fully before re-attaching it to the
head strap.
Cleaning The Lens Assembly
1. Push the tab down to un-clip
the filter compartment.
2. Lift out the filter
compartment from the
bottom edge.
3. Clean the filter lens and
sensors regularly by gently wiping with lens paper or a soft
cloth.
4. The clear lens cover can also be removed for cleaning and/or
replacement. Push inwards from the outside of the helmet to
remove it.
Storage
Store it in a dry location which is not accessible to unauthorised
persons.
