Eastwood L6700 Instructions Manual page 4

OPERATION
• Remove the protective film from the inside
and outside surfaces of the lens.
• With normal (non-welding), ambient light,
your view through the lens will have a
slight tint. When exposed to bright light or
the flash of the welding arc, the lens will
quickly darken your view.
The Sensitivity, Delay and Shade controls and
switches are located at the upper panel of the
viewing area inside of the Welding Helmet and
are adjustable as follows: (FIG 1).
SENSITIVITY
Sensitivity controls the Auto-darkening response
when exposed to smaller arcs such as low-
amperage TIG welding and conditions like welding outside in bright sunlight.
To Adjust Sensitivity: Turn dial Clockwise to increase sensitivity for low amperage welding.
Turn Counter-Clockwise when welding in sunlight or bright ambient light.
This helmet also has a "GRIND" setting which turns off the Auto-Shade feature and keeps the viewer
on base transparency to allow use of the Helmet for grinding and other non-welding uses.
To Set Sensitivity Control to "Grind": Rotate the Sensitivity Control Knob past the detent fully to the
"GRIND" position which will lock the viewer on full transparency.
To avoid serious and permanent eye damage, NEVER attempt to weld with the
Sensitivity Control set to "GRIND".
DELAY
Delay controls the time interval for the Auto-darkening to return to normal view once arc is stopped.
To Adjust Delay: Turn dial Clockwise to increase delay time for helmet to return to normal view after
arc is stopped. Turn Counter-Clockwise to minimize the time for the helmet to return to normal view.
• Inadequate levels of arc ray shading can cause permanent eye injury. This
helmet is capable of protection up to shade level 13 only. If your particular
welding process emits arc radiation at levels higher than 13, DO NOT use this
helmet and seek alternate protection.
• Do not use this helmet for oxy-acetylene welding or cutting processes, laser
welding or low amperage (less than 10 amps) TIG welding.
