SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Protect yourself and others from injury – read, follow, and save these important safety precautions
and operating instructions.
Only qualifi ed persons should install, operate, maintain, and repair this unit.
ARC RAYS can burn eyes and skin.
Arc rays from the welding process produce intense visible and invisible (ultraviolet and
infrared) rays that can burn eyes and skin. Sparks fl y off from the weld.
• Wear a welding helmet fi tted with a proper shade of fi lter to protect your face and
eyes when welding or watching (see ANSI Z49.1 and Z87.1 listed in Safety Standards).
Refer to Shade and Sensitivity charts listed below.
• Wear approved safety glasses with side shields under your helmet.
• Use protective screens or barriers to protect others from fl ash and glare; warn others not to watch
the arc.
• Wear protective clothing made from durable, fl ame-resistant material (leather and wool) and foot
protection.
• Before welding, adjust the auto-darkening lens sensitivity setting to meet the application.
• Stop welding immediately if the auto-darkening lens does not darken when the arc is struck.
WELDING HELMETS do not provide unlimited eye, ear and face protection.
• Use impact resistant safety spectacles or goggles and ear protection at all times when
using this welding helmet.
• Do not use this helmet while performing grinding operations, working with or around
explosives or corrosive liquids.
• Do not weld in the overhead position while using this helmet.
• Inspect the auto-lens frequently. Immediatly replace any scratched, cracked, or pitted cover lenses
or auto-lenses.
NOISE can damage hearing.
Noise from some processes or equipment can damage hearing.
• Wear approved ear protection if noise level is high.
FUMES AND GASES can be hazardous.
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.
• If inside, ventilate the area and/or use local forced ventilation at the arc to remove
welding fumes and gases. The recommended way to determine adequate ventilation is to sample for the
composition and quantity of fumes and gases to which personnel are exposed.
• If ventilation is poor, wear an approved air-supplied respirator.
Work in a confi ned space only if it is well ventilated, or while wearing an air-supplied respirator.
Always have a trained watchperson nearby. Welding fumes and gases can displace air and lower the
oxygen level causing injury or death. Be sure the breathing air is safe.
• Do not weld in locations near degreasing, cleaning, or spraying operations. The heat and rays of the
arc can react with vapors to form highly toxic and irritating gases.
• Do not weld on coated metals, such as galvanized, lead, or cadmium plated steel, unless the coating is
removed from the weld area, the area is well ventilated, and while wearing an air-supplied respirator.
The coatings and any metals containing these elements can give off toxic fumes if welded.
Welding or cutting equipment produces fumes or gases which contain chemicals known to
the State of California to cause birth defects and, in some cases, cancer. (California Health &
Safety Code Section 25249.5 et seq.)
This product contains chemicals, including lead, known to the state of California to cause
cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after use.
OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
Auto On/Off Button
The auto-darkening lens turns on (darkens) automatically when welding begins and turns off when
welding stops.
Press Auto On/Off button to check if the lens is working properly and to begin Mode and Info
adjustments. When the Auto On/Off button is pressed, the LCD control panel will turn On. Press and
hold the Auto On/Off button to turn the LCD control panel Off. Lens is on and will function properly.
After 4 minutes of inactivity, the LCD control panel will turn off automatically to conserve power. Press
any button to wake up the LCD control panel.

Variable shade control
Press Mode Control Button to select desired function: Weld, Cut, or X-Mode. Use LIGHT and DARK
adjustment buttons to select desired shade. The shades ranges for each mode are as follows:
Weld: 8-13 / Cut: 5-9 / Grind: 3 only / X-Mode: 8-13
Use the shade chart below to select proper shade control setting based on your welding process.
We recommend starting at shades 12 or 13 and adjust lighter based on the welding application and
personal preference.
Application Welding Arc Current In Amperes
Stick Electrodes Less than 40
MIG/MAG Less than 100
Gas Tungsten Arc Welding Less than 50
(TIG)
Air Carbon Less than 500
Plasma Arc Cutting
Plasma Arc Welding Less than 50
Sensitivity control
The sensitivity control is used to make the lens more responsive to different high levels experienced in
various welding processes. We recommend a Mig-Range setting for most applications. The sensitivity
ranges for each mode are as follows:
Weld, Cut, X-Mode: 0-10
Grind: no sensitivity adjustment
Do not weld in the Grind mode: the lens will not darken.
Adjust helmet sensitivity in lighting conditions helmet will be used in:
1. Use sensitivity DOWN and UP buttons to adjust sensitivity control to lowest setting.
2. Face helmet in the direction of use, exposing it to the surrounding light conditions.
3. Press sensitivity UP button till the lens darkens, then press DOWN button until lens clears. An
alternative method is to press and hold the DOWN button until the lens clears.
The helmet is ready for use. Slight readjustments may be necessary for certain applications or if lens is
fl ashing on and off. Reduce sensitivity setting if lens stays dark longer than Delay setting.
Recommended Sentivity Settings
Stick Electrode
Short Circuiting (MIG)
Pulsed & Spray (MIG)
Gas Tungsten Arc (TIG)
Plasma Arc Cutting/Welding
Lens Delay Control
The lens delay control is used to slow the lens-switching time to the clear state after welding.
The delay is particulary useful in eliminating bright after-rays present in higher amperage applications
where the molten puddle remains bright momentarily after welding.
Use the Lens Delay Control buttons to adjust delay from 0 to 10 (0.1 to 1.0 second). The Delay ranges
for each mode are as follows:
Weld, Cut, X-Mode: 0-10
Grind: no Delay adjustment
Use FAST and SLOW adjustment buttons to select desired delay. Begin welding or continue with
other lens adjustments.
