Helmet adjustment (Fig.7-8)

• Because the shapes of
men's head vary from per-
son to person, the work
position and the observing
angle is different and wel-
ding helmet needs to be
adjusted properly.
• Adjust the headband
circumference by rotating
the knob on the back of
the headband (Fig. 7-1)
This can be done while
wearing the helmet to al-
low the right tension to
be set to keep the helmet
firmly on the head without it
being too tight.
• Adjust the top strap of
the headband (Fig.72-2)
so that the helmet gets pla-
ced at the right height on
your head.
• Test the fit of the he-
adband, by lifting up and getting down the helmet a few
times while wearing it. If the headband moves, adjust
it again.
• Unscrew the side locking knobs (Fig. 7-3) and free
the locking nuts (Fig. 7-4) on both sides. Slide the hel-
met close to or far from your face to adjust the distance
from your eyes to the filter. It's important yours eyes
are both at the same distance from the lenses.
• Adjust the viewing angle by loosening the headgear
tension knob on the right side of the helmet. Release
the adjustment lever, turn it forward or backward to the
desired tilt position. After releasing the lever, the hel-
met locks in place.
• Screw the side locking knobs.
