WARNING!
THIS HELMET PROVIDES LIMITED PROTECTION FROM MINOR AND INCIDENTAL IMPACT HAZARDS, AND NO PROTECTION WHILE IN
THE RAISED POSITION. DO NOT RELY ON THIS WELDING HELMET AS YOUR PRIMARY PROTECTION FROM IMPACT OR SPLASH HAZ-
ARDS. FOR YOUR PROTECTION, READ THESE WELDING HELMETAND ADF INSTRUCTIONS COMPLETELY BEFORE USING. FAILURE
TO FOLLOW ALL OF THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS AND PERMANENT INJURY, VISION LOSS OR BURNS.
IMPACT RESISTANT SAFETY SPECTACLES
OR GOGGLES MUST BE WORN AT ALL TIMES
WHEN USING THIS HELMET.
Clear polycarbonate protective plates must be installed on both
the inside and outside of the auto-darkening filter (ADF) before
use. Failure to use protective plates can result in irreparable
damage to the ADF and may cause serious and parmenent
injury, vision loss or burns. Damage to the lens from failure to
install clear plates will void the warranty. The protective cover
plates of this helmet only provide protection against splatters
and surface damage to the lens, NOT against severe impact
hazards, such as fragmented grinding wheels or abrasive discs,
explosive devices or corrosive liquids.
BEFORE WELDING
• Ensure that the helmet is correctly assembled and that it com-
pletely blocks any accidental light. In the front, light may enter
the helmet only through the viewing area of the autodarkening
welding filter.
• Adjust the headgear to ensure maximum comfort and to
provide the largest field of vision.
• Select a suitable welding filter for the shield. Dimensions of
the filter: 110x110mm.
• Check the prescribed shade level for your welding application
and adjust your autodarkening filter accordingly (see the table
with recommended shade levels).
PRECAUTIONS
• Never place the helmet or the autodarkening welding filter on
hot surface.
• Scratched or damaged protection screens should be regularly
replaced by original JACKSON SAFETY
®
replacement parts.
Before using the new protection screen, make sure to remove
any additional protection foil from both sides.
• Only use the WH70 BH3
®
within the temperature range of
-23°F to +131°F (-5°C to +55°C).
• Never expose the autodarkening welding filter to liquids and
always protect it from dirt.
• Only use original JACKSON SAFETY
®
spare parts. In case of
doubt, please contact your JACSKON SAFETY
®
authorized
dealer.
• Failure to follow these instructions will invalidate the warranty.
Surewerx does not accept responsibility for any problems
which may arise from applications other than welding, or if the
instructions for use are not strictly followed. The WH70 BH3
®
welding helmet is manufactured to protect the welder’s face
against spatters and hazardous ultraviolet and infrared rays
emitted during the welding process. It is not intended to be
used as a protection against impact, flying particles, molten
metals, corrosive liquids or hazardous gases.
• Do not use for overhead welding where there is a falling
molten metal hazard. This welding helmet/filter system does
not provide protection from molten metal and spatter during
direct overhead welding.
• Materials which may come into contact with the wearer’s skin
could cause allergic reactions to susceptible individuals.
• Any welding helmet worn over standard ophthalmic spectacles
may transmit impact, thus create a hazard to the wearer.
• If the helmet and the protection screen both do not carry the B
marking, then only the S marking is valid.
• If protection against high speed particles at extreme tem-
peratures is required then selected eye-protector should be
marked with the letter T immediately after the impact letter.
If the impact letter is not followed by the letter T then eye
protector shall only be used against high speed particles at
room temperature.
• A distance of at least 50cm, and never less than 25cm, be-
tween the welding arc and the welder eyes is recommended
for all welding applications.

AUTODARKENING WELDING PROTECTION
FILTER
OPERATION
JACKSON SAFETY
®
autodarkening welding protection filters
operate on the basis of a liquid crystal light shutter that protects
the welder’s eyes against intense visible light emitted during
the welding process. In combination with the permanent pas-
sive IR/UV filter, it protects against hazardous infrared (IR) and
ultraviolet (UV) light. The protection against harmful radiation is
present regardless of the shade level or potential malfunction
of the filter, beyond the darkest shade number marked on each
specific model.
JACKSON SAFETY
®
autodarkening welding protection filters
are manufactured according to EN 379 requirements and are
CE, DIN as well as DIN Plus certified. They are not intended
to be used as a protection against impacts, flying particles,
molten metals, corrosive liquids or hazardous gases. Replace
potentional malfunctioned (check that the autodarkening filter
turns dark if you strike the welding arc) or physically damaged
autodarkening welding filter.
Protection screens, both internal and external
(polycarbonate or CR39), must be used in con-
junction with the autodarkening filter in order
to protect it against permanent damage.
USAGE
An autodarkening welding protection filter built into a welding
helmet is considered to be »Personal Protection Equipment«
(PPE) protecting the eyes, face, ears and neck against direct
and indirect hazardous light of the welding arc. In case that you
have only bought a filter without the helmet, you need to select
the appropriate helmet designed to be used in combination
with an autodarkening welding protection filter. It has to allow
the filter, including the internal and external protection screens,
to be adequately mounted into the helmet. There should be no
increased point tensions caused by the fixing frame or mount-
ing system, as they could cause severe damage to the filter.
Make sure that solar cells and photo-sensors are not covered
by any part of the helmet, as this could prevent the proper
operation of the filter. If any of these conditions occur, the filter
may not be suitable for use.
FIELD OF APPLICATION
JACKSON SAFETY
®
filters are suitable for all types of electro-
welding: covered electrodes, MIG/MAG, TIG/WIG, plasma
welding, cutting and laser welding (only selected models with
two shade ranges, i.e.6-8 and 9-13), except for gas welding.
FUNCTIONS
JACSKON SAFETY®filters are supplied ready
for use. Check the degree of required protec-
tion for specific welding procedure and if a
certain model allows you, select the recom-
mended shade, light sensitivity as well as
opening time delay.
Shade adjustment:
Some models (Grand DS, Grand ES)
enable shade adjustment range from 9 to 13. Grand GDS has
two shade ranges, i.e. 6-8 and 9-13. It can be adjusted by the
knob »Range« which is located on the filter. The external knob
for shade adjustment has two shade ranges (6-8 and 9-13)
marked in two different typefaces (positive and negative). The
adjustment of the knob »Range« defines the range which is
being used.
Adjustment of sensitivity: Most welding applications
can be performed with welding light sensitivity set to maximum.
The maximum sensitivity level is appropriate for low welding
current work, TIG, or special applications. The welding light
sensitivity has to be reduced only in some specific surrounding
lighting conditions in order to avoid unwanted triggering. As a
simple rule for optimum performance, it is recommended to set
sensitivity to the maximum at the beginning and then gradually
reduce it, until the filter reacts only to the welding light flashes
and without annoying spurious triggering due to ambient light
conditions (direct sun, intensive artificial light, neighboring
welder’s arcs etc.).
Opening time delay adjustment: The opening time
delay can be adjusted from 0.1 to 1.0 seconds. It is recom-
mended to use a shorter delay with spot welding applications
and a longer delay with applications using higher currents and
longer welding intervals. Long er delay can also be used for
low current TIG welding in order to prevent the filter opening
when the light path to the sensors is temporarily obstructed by
a hand, torch, etc.
Function welding/grinding (model Grand GDS only):
For these filters, two modes of operation can be selected:
welding or grinding. By selecting the position »Grind«, the
filter switches off and it will not be triggered by the sparks
generated during grinding. Before restarting welding work,
the knob should be set back to the »Weld« position.

166 standards.
STORAGE
When not in use the filter should be stored in a dry place
within the temperature range of -20°C to +65°C. Prolonged
exposure to temperatures above 45°C may decrease the
battery lifetime of the auto-darkening welding filter. It is
recommended to keep the solar cells of the auto-darkening
welding filter in the dark or not exposed to light during storage
in order to maintain power down mode. This can be achieved
by simply placing the filter face down on the storage shelf.
MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
It is always necessary to keep the solar cells and the light
sensors of the auto-darkening welding filter free of dust and
spatter: cleaning can be done with a soft tissue or a cloth
soaked in mild detergent (or alcohol). Never use aggressive
solvents such as acetone. JACKSON SAFETY
®
filters should
always be protected from both sides by protection screens
(polycarbonate or CR39), which should also be only cleaned
with a soft tissue or cloth. If protection screens are in any way
damaged, they must be immediately replaced.

Les plaques de protection en polycarbonate transparent doivent
être installées à l’intérieur et à l’extérieur du filtre auto-obscur-
cissant avant que celui-ci puisse être utilisé. Le fait de ne pas
utiliser des plaques de protection peut causer des dommages
irréparables au filtre ainsi que des blessures graves et perma-
nentes, une perte de la vision et des brûlures chez l’utilisateur.
Les dommages aux lentilles causés par la non-installation des
plaques transparentes auront pour effet d’annuler la garantie.
Les protège-lentilles du casque offrent seulement une protec-
tion contre les éclaboussures et les dommages en surface,
et NON PAS contre les risques importants, par exemple en
présence de meules ou de disques abrasifs fragmentés, de
dispositifs explosifs ou de liquides corrosifs.
AVANT LE SOUDAGE
• Vér ifiez que le masque est bien assemblé et qu’il bloque
complètement toute lumière accidentelle. La lumière ne peut
pénétrer par l’avant qu’à travers le champ de vision du filtre de
soudage auto-obscurcissant.
• Ajustez le harnais pour garantir le meilleur confort et fournir un
plus grand champ de vision.
• Sélectionnez un filtre de soudage approprié au masque.
Dimensions du filtre: 110x110mm.
• Vérifiez le degré d’obscurcissement prescrit pour votre application
de soudage et ajustez votre filtre auto-obscurcissant en fonction
(voir tableau des degrés d’obscurcissement recommandés).
PRÉCAUTIONS
• Ne placez jamais le masque ou le filtre auto-obscurcissant de
soudage sur des surfaces chaudes.
• Les écrans de protection rayés ou endommagés doivent être
régulièrement remplacés par des écrans originaux de type
JACKSON SAFETY®. Avant usage des nouveaux écrans
de protection, assurez-vous que les films de protection
supplémentaires sont bien retirés des deux côtés.
• Utilisez le masque WH70 BH3
®
uniquement dans la plage de
température comprise entre -5°C et +55°C.
• N’exposez pas le filtre électro-optique de soudage aux liquides
et protégez-le des saletés.
• N’utilisez que des pièces de rechange JACKSON SAFETY®
originales. En cas de doute, veuillez contacter votre revendeur
agréé JACKSON SAFETY
®
.
• La garantie est annulée si ces instructions ne sont pas respectées.
Balder rejette toute responsabilité en cas de problème lié à
des applications différentes du soudage ou si les instructions
d’utilisation ne sont pas strictement respectées. Le masque de
soudeur WH70 BH3
®
est conçu pour protéger les yeux et le visage
du soudeur contre les éclaboussures et les rayons ultraviolets
et infrarouges dangereux générés au cours du processus de
soudage. Pour toute autre application, utilisez l’équipement de
protection individuelle approprié.
• Ne pas utiliser pour le soudage en hauteur en cas de risque de
retombées de métaux en fusion. Ce système de casque/filtre de
soudage n’assure pas de protection contre les métaux en fusion
et les projections pendant le soudage en hauteur.
• Les matériaux susceptibles d’entrer en contact avec la peau
de la personne qui les porte peuvent entraîner des réactions
allergiques chez les individus sensibles.
• Le casque de soudure porté au-dessus de lunettes de vue
ordinaires est susceptible de transmettre des chocs et ainsi de
créer un danger pour l’utilisateur.
• Si ni le casque ni l’écran de protection ne portent de marquage
B, alors seul le marquage S est valable.
• Le dispositif de protection pour les yeux ne doit être utilisé
que pour protéger contre les particules à grande vitesse à
température ambiante.

FILTRE DE PROTECTION AUTO-OBSCURCISSANT
OPÉRATION
Les filtres de protection auto-obscurcissants JACKSON SAFETY
®
fonctionnent sur la base d’un obturateur à cristaux liquides qui
protège les yeux du soudeur contre la lumière visible intense
émise pendant le soudage. Combinés avec le filtre passif IR/
UV permanent, ils assurent une protection efficace contre les
rayonnements infrarouges (IR) et ultraviolets (UV). La protection
contre les rayonnements optiques nocifs est indiquée, quel que
soit l’obscurcissement ou l’éventuelle défectuosité du filtre, au-
dessus de la valeur d’obscurcissement le plus fort, marquée sur
chaque modèle.
Les filtres de protection auto-obscurcissants JACKSON SAFETY
®
sont produits conformément aux exigences de la norme EN 379
et sont certifiés CE, DIN et DIN Plus. Ils ne sont pas prévus pour
être utilisés comme protection contre les chocs, les particules
volantes, les métaux en fusion, les liquides corrosifs ou les gaz
dangereux. Remplacez tout filtre auto-obscurcissant physiquement
endommagé ou défectueux (vérifiez que le filtre auto-obscurcissant
s’assombrit lorsque vous lancez l’arc de soudage).
Le filtre auto-obscurcissant doit être utilisé avec des écrans
de protection internes et externes (polycarbonate) pour être
protégé contre des dommages irréversibles.
UTILISATION
Les filtres de protection auto-obscurcissants montés dans un
masque de soudage sont considérés comme des « équipements
de protection individuels » (EPI) protégeant les yeux, le visage, les
oreilles et le cou contre la lumière nocive directe et indirecte de
l’arc de soudage. Si vous n’avez acheté qu’un filtre sans casque,
vous devez choisir un casque conçu pour être utilisé avec un filtre
de protection auto-obscurcissant. Il doit permettre un montage
correct du filtre, avec des écrans de protection internes et externes.
Il ne doit y avoir aucun point de tension supplémentaire causé par
le cadre de fixation ou le système de montage, car ils pourraient
causer de graves dégâts au filtre. Assurez-vous que les cellules
solaires et les capteurs optiques ne sont pas couverts par le
masque, car cela pourrait empêcher le fonctionnement correct
du filtre. Si l’une de ces conditions se présente, le filtre risque de
ne pas être utilisable.
DOMAINE D’APPLICATION
Les filtres JACKSON SAFETY
®
conviennent à tous types de
soudage électrique: électrodes enrobées, MIG/MAG, TIG/WIG,
soudage plasma, découpe, sauf le soudage au gaz. Le filtres
JACKSON SAFETY
®
ne conviennent pas au soudage au laser.
FONCTIONS
Les filtres JACKSON SAFETY
®
sont fournis prêt à l’emploi.
Vérifiez le degré de protection requise selon la procédure
de soudage spécifique et, si le modèle le permet, choisissez
l’obscurcissement, la sensibilité à la lumière, ainsi que le
délai d’ouverture recommandée.
Obscurcissement: certains modèles (WF70 DS, WF70 ES)
permettent un ajustement de l’obscurcissement de 9 à 13. Le filtre
WF70 GDS possède deux gammes d’obscurcissement de 6 à 8
et de 9 à 13. Le réglage peut être effectué à l’aide du bouton «
Range » situé sur le filtre. Le bouton externe pour le réglage de
l’obscurcissement possède deux gammes d’obscurcissement (de
6 à 8 et de 9 à 13) indiquées à l’aide de deux polices de caractère
différentes (positive et négative). Le réglage du bouton « Range
» définit la plage en cours d’utilisation.
Sensibilité: La plupart des applications de soudage peuvent
être effectuées avec la sensibilité à la lumière réglée au maximum.
Le niveau maximum de sensibilité est approprié pour le soudage à
faible courant, TIG ou pour les applications spéciales. Le niveau
de sensibilité à la lumière doit être réduit uniquement dans cer-
taines conditions d’éclairage ambiant spécifiques afin d’éviter tout
déclenchement intempestif. Pour un fonctionnement optimal, il est
conseillé de régler la sensibilité d’abord au maximum, puis de la
réduire graduellement jusqu’à ce que le filtre ne réagisse qu’à la
lumière de soudage sans déclenchements intempestifs dus aux
conditions d’éclairage ambiant (lumière directe du soleil, lumière
artificielle intense, arcs de soudeurs à proximité, etc.).
Ajustement du délai d’ouverture: Le délai d’ouverture
peut être ajusté de 0,1 à 1,0 secondes. Il est recommandé d’utiliser
un délai plus court pour les applications de soudage par point
et d’utiliser un délai plus long pour les applications utilisant des
courants plus élevés et des intervalles de soudage plus longs. Des
délais plus longs peuvent également être utilisés pour le soudage
TIG à faible courant afin d’éviter l’ouverture du filtre quand la
lumière arrivant aux capteurs est temporairement obstruée par
une main, une torche, etc.
Fonction soudage/abrasion: Le filtre électro-optique de
soudage WF70 GDS peut être utilisé pour aussi bien pour les
applications de soudage que d’abrasion. Sélectionnez la position
« Grind » pour désactiver le filtre et empêcher son déclenchement
lors des étincelles produites par l’abrasion. Avant de reprendre le
travail de soudage, remettez le bouton dans la position « Weld ».
• Pour toutes les opérations de soudage, il est recommandé de
respecter une distance d’au moins 50 cm, et jamais inférieure à
25 cm, entre l’arc de soudage et les yeux du soudeur.
• Nous vous recommandons d’utiliser le casque pendant une
période de 10 ans. La durée d’utilisation dépend de différents
facteurs comme le mode d’utilisation, le nettoyage, le stockage
et l’entretien du casque. Il est conseillé de contrôler fréquemment
le casque et de le remplacer s’il est endommagé.
