Section 1 - Required Reading - Important Points and Safety
1.1 Important Information
The lens of the Rhino "Large View" Welding Helmet typically has double the view-
ing area of a standard helmet. As a result of the increased size, more care needs to
be taken with the helmet because the lens is a LCD made of glass, similar to many
television and cell phone screens manufactured today. If the helmet is acciden-
tally dropped onto a hard surface or smashed, the lens can crack or shatter .
Place the helmet in a bag or box after use. Ambient lighting in a shop, garage, or
workplace can activate the lens, but not provide enough solar energy for power,
which will employ the batteries to keep the lens activated. Over a long period of
time this can drain the batteries. Storage in a bag or box will eliminate this pos-
sibility. Replacement CR2025 batteries are available at a very low cost from most
stores and online. Instructions for battery installation are pictured and described
later in this manual.
If you would like to test your helmet before use, then please do the following:
1. Turn the lens sensitivity to "MAX"
2. Position the helmet with the lens facing a light bulb with a minimum of
60-Watts. To insure an accurate test, the helmet must be within 12 inches of the
light bulb. Equivalent and brighter light sources can be substituted.
3. If the lens does not darken, check/replace the (2) CR2025 batteries and retest.
